Let Them Eat Cake!

What Marie-Antoinette's fate can teach modern leaders about the importance of emotional intelligence in maintaining business success.

Contrary to popular belief, Marie-Antoinette never actually uttered the fateful words ‘Let them eat cake’. Nevertheless, her profligacy during the early years of her reign quickly earned her the nickname Madame Deficit and she was widely blamed for the country’s financial struggles. Compounded by lurid allegations of sexual depravity, the unfortunate queen found herself the target of a building rage that was to lead, ultimately, to the complete destruction of the monarchy at the hands of the French revolutionaries. Hosted by Karen Carpenter, this will be an interactive zoom event, during which we will reflect on how such a seemingly benign figure could provoke such a powerful contempt, and consider the lessons that can be drawn from the inevitable downfall of an institution unable and unwilling to adapt.

Monday 28 April 2025, 7.25 - 9.00 pm
