Jess Coulter sat in her car parked outside the Performing Arts Center as we recorded this conversation.  She grew up in Havertown but now lives in Perkiomen Valley, over an hour away. She is a Summer Stage alumnus and the mother of three children, all of whom are current members.  Jess joined the apprentice program in 1990. Her first children's theatre show was Freedom, directed by Harry Dietzler. She proudly claims that she has seen at least one Summer Stage show every season since 1985. She works as a high school English teacher, which is my former career, so we do “geek out” about literature during this.  After participating in the 50th Anniversary Gala Performance, Jess stepped up as one of the leaders of the soon-to-be-formed alumni organization.

The event attracted approximately 700 participants, including young people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait.中共中央台湾工作办公室和国务院台湾事务办公室主任宋涛周四出席了在北京举行的两岸青年峰会。此次活动吸引了约700名参与者，其中包括来自台湾海峡两岸的年轻人。"In recent years, an increasing number of Taiwan youth have come to the mainland to exchange, study and develop, and they feel pride and a sense of belonging as Chinese," Song said, welcoming more to pursue their aspirations.“近年来，越来越多的台湾青年来到大陆交流、学习和发展，他们作为中国人感到自豪和归属感，”宋说，并欢迎更多人追求自己的愿望。The summit consists of forums on technology, traditional Chinese medicine and youth development, an internship and job fair for young people from Taiwan, and a lifestyle festival showcasing popular food from both the mainland and Taiwan.峰会包括科技、中医药和青年发展论坛，台湾青年实习和招聘会，以及展示大陆和台湾流行美食的生活方式节。Shenzhou XVI astronaut Gui Haichao and Winter Olympic short-track speedskating champion Wu Dajing were among keynote speakers from various fields who met with young attendees from across the Strait.神舟十六号宇航员桂海潮和冬奥会短道速滑冠军吴大靖等来自不同领域的主讲人会见了来自海峡两岸的年轻与会者。Hsiao Hsu-tsen, executive director of the Ma Ying-jeou Culture and Education Foundation based on the island, said, "Although the Democratic Progressive Party administration in Taiwan has placed many obstacles to cross-Strait exchanges, the public strongly supports such interactions."设在台湾的马英九文教基金会执行长萧旭森说：“尽管民进党在台湾政府给两岸交流设置了许多障碍，但公众强烈支持这种互动。”Hsiao noted that the journey of Taiwan internet influencer Chen Chih-han, also known as "Guan Zhang" or "gym boss", to the mainland in June and his online livestreaming to millions of viewers have helped those who had never visited the mainland break free from the "information cocoons".萧指出，台湾网红陈志汉（又名“关张”或“健身房老板”）6月前往大陆的旅程，以及他向数百万观众进行的在线直播，帮助那些从未去过大陆的人摆脱了“信息茧”。With the further deepening of cross-Strait exchanges, negative perceptions of the mainland, spread by certain separatist forces in Taiwan, are gradually being recognized by Taiwan people, he said.萧指出，台湾网红陈志汉（又名“关张”或“健身房老板”）6月前往大陆的旅程，以及他向数百万观众进行的在线直播，帮助那些从未去过大陆的人摆脱了“信息茧”。Hsiao, who has brought Taiwan students to visit the mainland frequently, said he was delighted that the students, while riding the high-speed trains on the mainland, actively seek out the truth and understand the technological advancements behind the high-speed rail on their own.经常带台湾学生来大陆访问的肖说，他很高兴学生们在大陆乘坐高铁时，能主动寻找真相，了解高铁背后的技术进步。"I hope they will witness firsthand the mainland and, at the same time, come back and tell their friends based on their own judgment, to invite more to come and see for themselves," he said.经常带台湾学生来大陆访问的肖说，他很高兴学生们在大陆乘坐高铁时，能主动寻找真相，了解高铁背后的技术进步。A participant surnamed Tseng, an art graduate student from Taiwan, said she and other art students from Taiwan will visit Beijing's hutong with their mainland counterparts.

From seven students in a living room to educating over 2,400 students across multiple campuses, Dr. Charles Yeboah's journey building International Community School (ICS) is a masterclass in entrepreneurial patience and purpose. When he and his wife returned to Ghana after studying in America, they faced a common challenge: finding suitable education for their daughter. Their solution? Create it themselves; starting right in their living room.What sets this story apart is Dr. Yeboah's counterintuitive approach to success. "Black people in general have the habit of acting successful before they are actually successful," he observes, explaining how he deliberately avoided this trap. His family lived in four different rented homes over ten years while investing over $4 million in developing their school before building their own house. This disciplined reinvestment strategy, coupled with what he calls the "three H's", humility, honesty, and hard work, created the foundation for sustainable growth.The most audacious chapter came when ICS expanded from Kumasi to Accra in 2015, challenging established international schools in Ghana's capital. Dr. Yeboah's strategy of differentiation through campus design, teacher development, and educational quality paid off; the Accra campus now serves more students than the original Kumasi location. With total investments exceeding $30 million from an initial capital of just $20,000-$30,000, ICS demonstrates the power of patient capital and principle-centered leadership.Today, as ICS celebrates its 25th anniversary, Dr. Yeboah is focused on extending his impact through the Education Foundation, committed to improving teacher development in public schools. His philosophy, "I don't want to die rich," reflects a profound understanding that true success comes from giving back to the society that enabled your rise. Want to build something that truly lasts? Start by remembering where you came from and who helped you along the way.Support the showWatch the video episode of this on YouTube - https://linktr.ee/konnectedminds

If you've listened to our most recent episode of Talking Taiwan, you'll know that the sixty-ninth session of the Commission on the Status of Women or CSW69 is now taking place at United Nations Headquarters in New York. It began on March 10th and runs until March 21st.   Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/taiwan-on-the-margins-of-csw-69-celebrating-womens-resilience-progress-at-taiwan-main-stage-ep-307/   On March 12th the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York (TECO-NY) hosted an event called “Taiwan Main Stage: Celebrating Women's Resilience & Progress on the margins of CSW 69.” This smartly worded event title is undoubtedly a soft reference the fact that Taiwan is not a member of the United Nations, and therefore on the margins of CSW69.   We were there at TECO-NY's fully packed event on the 12th where we heard from Po-Chun Sophiyah Liu and Chia-Hui Lu. Sophiyah is Ambassador-at-Large for Sports Diplomacy of Taiwan, and she is Taiwan's first female umpire. Chia-Hui Lu is a classical musician, cross disciplinary artist and an associate professor at National Taiwan University of Arts.   Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode: ·   How Taiwan is not a member of the United Nations ·   Sophiyah Liu's remarks at TECO-NY's event called “Taiwan Main Stage: Celebrating Women's Resilience & Progress on the margins of CSW 69” ·   How the Global Sports Mentoring Program that set Sophiyah on the path to sports diplomacy ·   How when Sophiyah won the IOC and UN Women: Women and Sport World trophy in 2019, a special arrangement was made for her to enter the UN building to receive the award ·   When Sophiyah was invited to attend the UN Global Sport Program working group which met in a conference room in the United Nations building but when it came time to attend the meeting, she was told she couldn't enter the UN building because she has a passport from Taiwan ·   Sophiyah's thoughts on the controversy over questions about the gender eligibility of female boxer Lin Yu-ting at the Paris Olympics ·   Sophiyah's thoughts on gender eligibility testing in sports ·   Chia-Hui Lu's remarks at TECO-NY's event called “Taiwan Main Stage: Celebrating Women's Resilience & Progress on the margins of CSW 69 ·   The technology, AI training and experimentation involved in creating the real-time music recognition system that captures melodies from Chia-Hui's piano playing and transforms it into a surreal visual story   ·   The mission and past projects of the Egret Cultural and Education Foundation ·   How the Egret Cultural and Education Foundation's cross art productions combine theater, music, dance, technology, culture, and history ·   How the Egret Cultural and Education Foundation was published books about Taiwan's history, nature, music, and art   Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/taiwan-on-the-margins-of-csw-69-celebrating-womens-resilience-progress-at-taiwan-main-stage-ep-307/

Section 8(c) of the National Labor Relations Act states an employer’s communication is not an unfair labor practice if it does not contain a threat of reprisal, force, or a promise of a benefit. Historically, this provision was understood to protect employers’ free speech rights to hold mandatory meetings with employees to express their views on unionization.However, in Amazon.com Services LLC, 373 NLRB No. 136 (Nov. 14, 2024), the National Labor Relations Board held that mandatory meetings where an employer expresses its views on unions violate the Act. The Board deemed such meetings unlawful, even if the views expressed during them do not independently constitute an unfair labor practice.Bill Messenger and Roger King will examine the history of Section 8(c), the Board’s interpretation of its scope, and the potential outcome of the Board’s decision on appeal to the 11th Circuit.Featuring:William L.
