4/4: Mr. Churchill in the White House: The Untold Story of a Prime Minister and Two Presidents by  Robert Schmuhl  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Churchill-White-House-Presidents/dp/1324093420 Well into the twenty-first century, Winston Churchill continues to be the subject of scores of books. Biographers portray him as a soldier, statesman, writer, painter, and even a daredevil, but Robert Schmuhl, the noted author and journalist, may be the first to depict him as a demanding, indeed exhausting White House guest. For the British prime minister, America's most famous residence was “the summit of the United States,” and staying weeks on end with the president as host enhanced his global influence and prestige, yet what makes Churchill's sojourns so remarkable are their duration at critical moments in twentieth-century history. From his first visit in 1941 to his last one eighteen years later, Churchill made himself at home in the White House, seeking to disprove Benjamin Franklin's adage that guests, like fish, smell after three days. When obliged to be attired, Churchill shuffled about in velvet slippers and a tailored-for-air-raids “siren suit,” resembling a romper. In retrospect, these extended stays at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue take on a new level of diplomatic and military significance. Just imagine, for example, Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky spending weeks at America's most powerful address, discussing war strategy and access to weaponry, as Churchill did during the 1940s. Drawing on years of research, Schmuhl not only contextualizes the unprecedented time Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt spent together between 1941 and 1945, but he also depicts the individual figures involved: from Churchill himself to “General Ike,” as he affectionately called Dwight D. Eisenhower, to Harry Truman, and not to mention the formidable Eleanor Roosevelt, who resented Churchill's presence in the White House and wanted him to occupy the nearby Blair House instead (which, predictably, he did not do) 1944 Eleanor Roosevelt and Clementine Churchill on CBC at Quebec Conference

In this episode of the Anglotopia podcast, historian and author Katherine Carter offers a fascinating look into her new book, Churchill’s Citadel, which examines Winston Churchill’s pivotal “wilderness years” of the 1930s. Katherine shares her lifelong passion for history and her journey to becoming Chartwell's curator, diving into how this beloved Kent home became Churchill's personal headquarters for intelligence gathering and diplomacy. She reveals the unique domestic life at Chartwell, with its lively gatherings, memorable overnight guests like T.E. Lawrence, and Churchill's meticulous attention to detail—even down to the design of the dining chairs. The discussion explores Churchill's resilience and isolation as he warned of the Nazi threat, Clementine Churchill’s critical role in managing their household and finances, and the support of staff who endured Churchill's famously rigorous schedule. Katherine also touches on the financial ups and downs that marked the Churchills' lives, their strategic return to Chartwell after WWII, and the special steps taken to protect the home during the war. Finally, she hints at an exciting upcoming art exhibition at the Wallace Collection that will showcase Churchill's work as a painter, bringing new depth to this extraordinary leader's life. We’re running a giveaway until the end of the month with two copies to give away.

Sound Bites On Churchill’s early inspiration: “The 1930s are just as, if not possibly even more important [than WWII] because it's so much harder fighting for a cause when you are a lone voice… Churchill really was going out on a limb declaring that war was inevitable and we should be preparing for it.” Chartwell as Churchill’s strategic hub: “Chartwell becomes like his own branch of the Foreign Office out in Kent… they chose the 1930s as the period to immortalize, recognizing that as its moment of greatest historic significance.” The significance of the visitor's book: “There's over 750 signatories from the 40 years the Churchills lived there… I wanted to interrogate everyone who came, whether they were a dine, wine, and dined guest or someone just quickly running in for the afternoon with a brown envelope of intelligence.” On Churchill's unique social diplomacy: “Dinner at Chartwell… you’d have fine cuisine, excellent champagne, and discussion until midnight. Churchill would either be gleaning insights from you or trying to persuade you to his way of thinking.” Chartwell’s intimate charm: “It's not a grand house. There are grander houses in England… but it's a microcosm of everything he required. It feels very intimate, like you’re walking around in Churchill’s head.” On Churchill’s resilience and purpose: “His courage to remain true to what he thought was right is truly inspirational… even with the political pressure and fear of war, Churchill held firm to his beliefs.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Katherine Carter and Churchill’s Citadel 03:07 Katherine’s Journey into History and Churchill 05:57 The Significance of the 1930s in Churchill’s Life 09:08 Chartwell: The Heart of Churchill’s Diplomacy 11:49 The Abdication Crisis and Chartwell’s Role 15:04 Notable Visitors and Their Impact on Churchill 17:46 Domestic Life at Chartwell: Balancing Diplomacy and Family 21:05 The Challenges of Writing and Researching Churchill’s Life 24:02 Clementine Churchill: The Backbone of Chartwell 26:58 Chartwell as Churchill’s Ideal Domain 30:08 The Financial Struggles of the Churchills 32:57 Churchill’s Connection to Chartwell During WWII 36:14 Lessons from Churchill’s Resilience 39:07 The Upcoming Churchill Art Exhibition 42:10 Fun Questions: Churchill’s Favorite Memories and Quotes

Heather Terrell, who writes under the pen name Marie Benedict, has written about novelist Agatha Christie in The Mystery of Mrs. Christie, and in Lady Clementine, she looked back on the life of Winston Churchill's wife, Clementine Churchill. Now, in her historical novel The Mitford Affair, she has turned her attention to three English sisters—Unity, Nancy and Diana Mitford—with the rise of Nazi Germany as a backdrop.

S3 E10: The Churchill Sisters: The Extraordinary Lives of Winston and Clementine's Daughters Sarah shares her thoughts on “The Churchill Sisters: The Extraordinary Lives of Winston and Clementine's Daughters” by Rachel Trethewey. As complex in their own way as their Mitford cousins, Winston and Clementine Churchill's daughters each had a unique relationship with their famous father. Rachel Trethewey's biography, The Churchill Sisters, tells their story. Drawing on previously unpublished family letters from the Churchill archives, Rachel Trethewey brings Winston's daughters out of the shadows and tells their remarkable stories for the first time. Rachel Trethewey, “The Churchill Sisters: The Extraordinary Lives of Winston and Clementine's Daughters: “Theirs was a double-edged sword. Being Winston's daughters opened up a world of privilege and opportunity, but it also raised expectations. Their positions as handmaids to the great man were the easy part of their role; establishing meaningful lives of their own away from their charismatic clan was harder. Sadly, Marigold died too young to achieve her potential, but Diana, Sarah and Mary coped in very different ways with the demands of living up to their famous name.” Music by Claude Signet "Still Water Flows" #EpidemicSound https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/qfyDdblawD/

En décembre, Travail (en cours) prend une petite pause, mais on a eu envie de vous faire découvrir des épisodes d'Emotions, un autre podcast de Louie Media, qui a fait de super épisodes sur des émotions qu'on ressent au travail. Cet épisode d'Adélie Pojzman-Pontay, qui s'intéresse au pouvoir, a été diffusé pour la première fois le 18 février 2019.Le pouvoir, certains le cherchent, le briguent, font tout pour y accéder. Il offre un statut social, une contenance, le respect des autres éventuellement. Dans notre société, le pouvoir est érigé en idéal, un but auquel il faudrait aspirer : une promotion, un poste de manager, un mandat peut-être même.Mais une fois ce pouvoir acquis, est-ce si agréable d'en être en possession ? Quel effets a-t-il sur nous et comment faire pour résister à ses excès ? Et s'il était possible de penser le pouvoir autrement, au delà des rapports verticaux de hiérarchie ? Et si on pouvait trouver en nous ce sentiment de puissance, si on pouvait le construire et en être assurée, même dans les moments où d'autres essayent de nous écraser ?Dans cet épisode, nous rencontrons Christian Verrier, un homme qui a tout fait pour refuser le pouvoir qu'on voulait lui conférer ; Sabine Parisis, DRH, qui a toujours voulu accéder à un poste important mais qui très tôt dans sa carrière a pris conscience des abus vers lesquels ce pouvoir pouvait mener ; et enfin, Marie Dasylva, qui est coach et travaille exclusivement avec des personnes non-blanches qui font face à des situations de discriminations raciales et sexistes dans le monde professionnel. Elle nous explique à travers son parcours comment après avoir subie la puissance abusive des autres, elle avait reconstruit et nourrit une puissance qui lui était propre et qu'elle cherche aujourd'hui à transmettre aux personnes qu'elle coach. Sebastian Dieguez, un chercheur en neuropsychologie de l'université de Fribourg, nous apprend à quel point le le pouvoir peut nous changer, malgré nous.Un grand merci à Elizabeth Tran et Nicky Gentil, autrice de Petits dialogues en taxi, d'avoir prêté leur voix à la lettre de Clementine Churchill.

Clementine and Winston were both tired of courting dreary snobs and gossipy debutantes. When they met by chance, it was love at first sight, but little did they know how much their union would change the world.

Clementine Churchill war keine stumme Politikergattin. Sie war Lobbyistin für Winston Churchills politische Ambitionen und wichtige politische Beraterin. Sie übernahm für ihn im Zweiten Weltkrieg die Organisation der Heimatfront in England - und definierte so die Rolle eine Politiker-Ehefrau vollkommen neu.

She was the wife of Winston Churchill, his rock and his safe place over the course of two wars, birth and death, depressions both financial and emotional, promotions and retirement. But before all that, she was Clementine Hozier.

There is no stiffer upper lip in Britain than that of Muriel, the stoic wealthy widow whose son takes advantage of her naivety in one of Alan Bennett's famous Talking Heads monologues, "Soldiering On". She's played by English actress Harriet Walter in a recently filmed series that offer a new generation of actors a chance to perform the heartbreaking monologues, more than 30 years after the original series was broadcast on BBC One. The new cast have not only had to stamp their own mark on the roles, but also film during Covid-19 lockdown. For Harriet this meant Zoom rehearsals with the director before filming started with all the necessary social distancing. Harriet Walter's more a very familiar face, rather than a household name. Among her hundreds of TV roles, she played Clementine Churchill in The Crown, and Dasha the assassin trainer in Killing Eve. She's also been in many Shakespearean productions for the stage, including several with all-female casts. Lynn Freeman called Harriet during a break in filming a major feature in Britain. The 2020 series of Talking Heads by Alan Bennett is screening on Sky's Arts Channel. You can watch the Shakespearian productions that are now briefly available on line here...

Fue el héroe europeo capaz de patearle la mesa a la amenaza nazi, amante del güisqui y los cigarros cubanos, Winston Churchill fue un estratega brillante y un gordo don Juan lleno de encantos que ofrecía a través de Inglaterra: Pamela, Muriel, Ethel, Violet. Sin embargo, quiso eternamente, aunque no fielmente, a su mujer, la preciosa Clementine Hozier.

NUGGET CONTEXT RG speaks about the criticality of seeking and absorbing the feedback from the people around you. He speaks about the role of a spouse who observes us in high resolution and says that they (or close friends or a trusted colleague or a board member) could act as a concave psychological mirror. He speaks about the story of Clementine Churchill ( wife of Winston Churchill ) whose “feedback letter” to her husband is kept in a museum in London.   GUEST   R Gopalakrishnan is a man of many identities. A Board Member, an author, an advisor, speaker and a teacher. Apart from having an illustrious career in Hindustan Lever and Tata Sons, he has been on several Boards over the last few decades.

He spends his time on Boards, as a Mentor and as a Corporate Advisor, as a speaker and as a Teacher. He is an Executive in Residence at SP Jain and a Distinguished Professor at IIT Kharagpur. While there is a lot of wisdom to mine from him, we tried to anchor the bulk of the conversation around his book Crash where he profiled about 15 high profile CEO appointments that didn’t quite work out (that includes Vikram Pandit at Citigroup, Anshu Jain at Deutsche Bank, Carly Fiorina at HP, Vishal Sikka at Infosys and more. He looks at common patterns across some of these transitions and distils them in the book. We unpack some of that in this conversation.We first speak about Gopal’s journey and some of his thoughts around having a marathon of a career. Then we dive into some of the elements in the book Crash and we wrap up with a rapid fire Q&A where Gopal speaks about the leaders and books that have influenced him.     Published in June 2020.     HOST   Deepak is a Leadership Advisor and an Executive Coach.

Clementine Churchill supported her husband Winston through the ups and downs of his long career. She was his most trusted confidant, counsellor and companion. Indeed it could be arguable that without his wife Clementine, Winston might never have become Prime Minister. By his own admission, the Second World War would have been ‘impossible without her’. I'm joined by Marie Benedict. Marie is the author of Lady Clementine: A Novel.

Marie Benedict is an author who has written multiple historical fiction novels, each with a focus on a particular woman in history. In her latest, Lady Clementine, we get a close-up on Clementine Churchill and her effect on Winston Churchill's work as well as WWII, including how her actions had a direct impact on the war. Carol talks to Marie about the women throughout history who stand beside the men -- not behind them.   Books discussed in this episode: Lady Clementine by Marie Benedict Sign up for the weekly Bookreporter.com newsletter here: FOLLOW US Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bookreporter Website: https://www.bookreporter.com

Look, nobody wants to go through hard times. We’d prefer that things go according to plan, that what could go wrong doesn’t, so that we might enjoy our lives without being challenged or tested beyond our limits. Unfortunately, that’s unlikely to happen. Which leaves us then with the question of what good there is in such difficulty and how we might—either in the moment or after the fact—come to understand what it is that we’re going through...today, tomorrow, and always. This passage from Sonia Purnell’s wonderful biography of Clementine Churchill, wife of Winston Churchill, is worth thinking about this morning:“Clementine was not cut out from birth for the part history handed her. Adversity, combined with sheer willpower, burnished a timorous, self-doubting bundle of nerves and emotion into a wartime consort of unparalleled composure, wisdom, and courage. The flames of many hardships in early life forged the inner core of steel she needed for her biggest test of all. By the Second World War the young child terrified of her father...had transmogrified into a woman cowed by no one.” The Stoics believed that adversity was inevitable. They knew that Fortune was capricious and that it often subjected us to things we were not remotely prepared to handle. And this is not necessarily a bad thing. Because it teaches us. It strengthens us. It gives us a chance to prove ourselves. “Disaster,” Seneca wrote, “is Virtue’s opportunity.”As he writes in On Providence:“Familiarity with exposure to danger will give contempt for danger. So the bodies of sailors are hardy from buffeting the sea, the hands of farmers are callous, the soldier’s muscles have the strength to hurl weapons, and the legs of a runner are nimble. In each, his staunchest member is the one that he has exercised. By enduring ills the mind attains contempt for the endurance of them; you will know what this can accomplish in our own case, if you will observe how much the peoples that are destitute and, by reason of their want, more sturdy, secure by toil.”Basically, he was describing the same phenomenon that transformed Clementine Churchill from a timid young girl into the brave woman who inspired millions of Britons and Europeans through one of the darkest ordeals in the history of the modern world. The difficulty she went through early in life forged for her a backbone upon which she and countless others came to depend.And so the same can be true for you and whatever it is that you’re going through right now. Yes, it would probably be preferable if everything went your way and if you could count on smooth sailing for the rest of your life. But you can’t. You’re stuck with this present moment instead. So use it. Be hardened and improved by it. Be transformed by it. The world needs more Clementines. And you can be one of them.

Au sens le plus strict, pouvoir, c'est être en capacité de faire quelque chose. C'est une porte ouverte sur de nouvelles expériences de vie, de nouvelles sensations. Votre coeur qui palpite en dévalant une pente à vélo pour la première fois sans les petites roulettes, prendre le volant d'une voiture seul.e une fois votre permis en poche. Vous avez comme de l'électricité qui traverse vos membres, remonte votre colonne vertébrale. Vous crépitez à l'intérieur, de peur et d'excitation. Dans la langue, on distingue “pouvoir de” et “pouvoir sur”. Une petite préposition et les images évoquées sont bien différentes. Avoir le pouvoir “sur”, c'est souvent avoir le pouvoir sur une situation ou sur d'autres personnes. Ça peut être le pouvoir de faire changer les choses, une situation sur laquelle on peut avoir une emprise. Ça aussi, ça peut être exaltant. Mais c'est aussi être en position d'autorité sur d'autres. Vos enfants si vous en avez, vos employé.e.s, vos “N-1” comme on dit dans le monde de l'entreprise. Le pouvoir, certains le cherchent, le briguent, font tout pour y accéder. Il offre un statut social, une contenance, le respect des autres éventuellement. Dans notre société, le pouvoir est érigé en idéal, un but auquel il faudrait aspirer : une promotion, un poste de manager, un mandat peut-être même.Mais une fois ce pouvoir acquis, est-ce si agréable d'en être en possession ?
