For hundreds of years, the stories of Anne Boleyn have fascinated us. Her stunning rise to the role of Queen of England, the birth of the future Elizabeth I, and the catastrophic fall from favor that led to a swordsman from Calais is a story we can't stop telling. But where did it all begin? Estelle Paranque traces Anne's story to its origin in the glamorous kingdom of France.

During Women's History month, we celebrate all the ways women lead!

History shows us what's possible.
When faced with important decisions, what makes us say "yes" or "no"? Are our responses based on circumstance, fear of the person making the request, or our values? This week we take a look at Macbeth, Hamlet, and Thomas More to think about our values and how we use them.

In Hamlet, Polonius says, "This above all, to thine own self be true." Shakespeare realized that knowledge of values and authenticity can create great leaders. Katherine of Aragon and Mary I put this into practice.
