Cleopatra ruled an empire, every day facing issues of major military, economic, and judicial importance. Politics and negotiations were often life or death decisions. The richest and most powerful woman in the world, she was vulnerable both to Rome and to scheming blood relatives, whom she conveniently eliminated.
While today we generally refrain from poisoning enemies when we face competition, there are many lessons to be learned from such a brilliant and skilled leader. Cleopatra knew how to cultivate loyalty, consolidate power, and forge strategic alliances, as well as the importance of both good PR and impressive pageantry.
As Schiff makes clear, the politics and maneuvering of the ancient world are little different from ours today.
Her talks make for a fascinating examination of a wide range of issues and topics, including leadership, power, women and leadership, diplomacy and the enduring foibles of human nature.
SHE ALSO SPEAKS ON THE FOLLOWING TOPICS:
Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography
Benjamin Franklin in France
France and the American Revolution
Getting A Life: The Writing of Biography
