Last week was national Teacher Appreciation Week, a time to celebrate educators who show up for their students every day. Unfortunately, for many of the teachers in North Carolina, underappreciated – especially from state lawmakers – is the main thing they're experiencing these days. On May 1st, thousands of educators, advocates and allies converged on Halifax Mall behind the state Legislative Building in Raleigh to protest the lack of a state budget and scheduled corporate tax cuts that may leave school districts with even less money next year. NC Newsline spoke with several of those attending the rally about the message they would like to deliver to legislators during the ongoing legislative session. Click here to hear the full interview with North Carolina educators Marie Delgado, Tennille Simms, and Jane Miller.

As Wales's elections to the Senedd (Welsh Parliament) draw nearer, the polls continue to suggest that we might see a major redrawing of the political landscape here.Since devolution in 1999, Labour has always held power. That's a quarter of a century of government, with education one of the policy areas that was devolved from Westminster by the Blair government.So we thought it was worth finding out what the six major parties contesting the election here had to offer in terms of education policy. After all, with other big issues dominating the news, there's always a danger of education being overshadowed in mainstream news coverage.We've joined forces with Jane Miller and Finola Wilson from Impact Wales, and will release our interviews with all six parties simultaneously on our podcast feeds during the next two weeks. Here's the schedule:16th March - Conservative17th March - Green19th March - Labour23rd March - Liberal Democrats24th March - Plaid Cymru26th March - Reform UKThen, on 22nd April we'll bring you a special episode analysing everything we've found out from the interviews.Here on Emma and Tom Talk Teaching you'll hear each interview unpacked and analysed by Tom and Dr Gareth Evans, Director of Education Policy at the University of Wales, Trinity Saint David.

George Gissing's novels, Orwell once said, could be described in three words: ‘not enough money'. Writing is a matter of survival for the cast of ‘New Grub Street' (1891), which follows a handful of literary men and women in London in the early 1880s. All of them have different ideas about success, love and personal fulfilment, and all those ideas – even the most brutally pragmatic – are subverted by the pressures of sexuality and the marketplace. In the final episode of Novel Approaches, Clare Bucknell and Tom Crewe discuss Gissing's great portrait of London at its shabbiest. They explore Gissing's unrelenting realism, his gift for writing nuanced characters, and why, in Tom's words, if the novel is gloomy, it's ‘an invigorating gloom'.

Welcome to another episode of Monday Night Live, hosted by Derek Arden. This week, we are delighted to welcome back Tracy Hooper, founder of The Confidence Project and author of "The Now Hello." Tracy, joining us from Portland, Oregon, is here to share her expertise on "Confident Conversations." With a rich background as a former TV news reporter and anchor, Tracy brings a wealth of knowledge and practical advice to the table. Introduction to Tracy Hooper In this episode, Derek Arden introduces Tracy Hooper, highlighting her impressive background and the significance of her third appearance on the show. Tracy's journey from TV news to founding The Confidence Project is both inspiring and instructive. Her transition showcases her dedication to helping others build confidence in their conversational skills. The Importance of Confident Conversations Tracy emphasizes the critical need for confident conversations in today's digital age, where face-to-face interactions are often replaced by texting and emailing. She notes that many people have become rusty in their conversational abilities due to the prevalence of digital communication. Tracy highlights the importance of rediscovering the art of engaging dialogue to build stronger, more meaningful connections. Lessons from Tracy's Life Tracy shares personal stories about learning conversation skills from her parents. Her mother, in particular, played a significant role in teaching her the fundamentals of inclusive and engaging conversation. These early experiences around the dinner table taught Tracy the value of including everyone in a discussion. Additionally, she recounts anecdotes from her career, including learning from seasoned news professionals like Jane Miller, which showcase the practical application of these skills. Techniques for Confident Conversations Tracy offers a range of practical techniques for engaging in confident conversations. She advises giving genuine compliments on accomplishments or traits rather than appearances. Using Kickstarter questions like "what," "how," and "tell me more" can spark meaningful dialogue. Tracy encourages a mindset of constant learning and attentiveness to non-verbal cues to enhance curiosity. Researching people before meetings to find common ground, making connections through mutual acquaintances, and leveraging active listening as a crucial skill are also key techniques Tracy discusses. These methods are vital for building rapport and maintaining engaging conversations. Practical Applications Tracy shares practical applications of her techniques, such as remembering and pronouncing names correctly, breaking and entering into conversations gracefully, and the art of including others in discussions. She offers tips on handling situations where one might feel left out or need to leave a conversation politely. Tracy's advice is both practical and empathetic, designed to make everyone feel valued and included. The Goodbye Formula One of the standout segments of the interview is Tracy's four-step process to end conversations respectfully: Thank the person, acknowledge something they said, offer a farewell phrase, and use a goodbye gesture. This formula ensures that conversations end on a positive note, leaving both parties feeling respected and appreciated. Personal Insights Tracy also shares her family dynamics and how she taught her children the art of conversation. Family dinners and open dialogue were significant in reinforcing the importance of confident conversations. Tracy reflects on how these skills can build confidence in interactions with anyone, from prominent figures to everyday acquaintances. Her personal insights underscore the universal applicability of her techniques and their importance in fostering meaningful connections. Q&A Session The episode concludes with a lively Q&A session between Derek and Tracy. They explore common sense practices that are often overlooked ...

They say that everyone loves a good comeback story. Rudi's is writing the first chapter of a new one. Founded in 1976, the Colorado-based brand markets organic and gluten free breads, including sourdough loaves, English muffins, wraps and buns, and has fostered a loyal consumer following at natural and conventional retailers including Whole Market and Kroger. In 2014, natural foods company Hain Celestial acquired Rudi's from private equity firm Charterhouse Equity Partners for $61.3 million. At the time, Rudi's generated nearly $85 million in annual retail sales, according to published reports. Unfortunately, brand sales and distribution regressed under new ownership. By May 2020, revenue was down to $35 million while ACV in the natural channel, which had been at 98%, plunged into the 30s. That month, Hain unloaded Rudi's to Mayfair Equity Partners, which incorporated the brand into its Promise Gluten Free bakery business. Over the next two years, Rudi's saw two CEOs arrive and depart, but in October 2022 Mayfair enlisted board member Jane Miller, who previously led the brand from 2008 to 2014, to helm the company. She also tapped experienced food and beverage executive Adam Hertel as chief sales officer. Their plan to breathe new life into Rudi's has evolved over the past year and came with the realization that sales and distribution couldn't return to 2014 levels without a significant shift in strategy and investment in innovation. In this episode, Miller and Hertel explained how they identified the most pressing issues at Rudi's and detailed its close working relationships with its retail partners to develop new products, including Texas toast and breakfast sandwiches. Show notes: 0:43: Interview: Jane Miller, CEO & Adam Hertel, Chief Sales Officer, Rudi's – Taste Radio editor Ray Latif spoke with Miller and Hertel at NOSH Live Winter 2023 about their respective paths to Rudi's, how they incorporated market research and consumer trends into the company's innovation strategy and how they factor timing and retailer resets into new product development and what gave them confidence to play in new categories. They also discussed how Gen Z and Alpha consumers fit into Rudi's business strategy and brand positioning as a whole, why “95 percent vs. 99 percent certainty” is a rule they abide by and whether they advocate for team members to have an entrepreneurial mindset or prefer for ideation and strategy to be generated by leadership.

Jane Miller, president and chief operating officer at Gallup, joins the podcast to talk about why employers should be invested in workers' wellbeing -- and the unique impact the pandemic has had on female employees. “Wellbeing is a significant component to any strong culture. It's a foundational element,” Miller says. “It impacts how a person shows up at home, how they show up at work -- and really, it's about their capacity for what they can accomplish every single day.”

She was CEO at Lily's Sweets and has held several other CEO roles in the natural and organic industry, including Rudi's Bakery, ProYo High-Protein Ice Cream, and HannahMax Cookie Chips. She also worked at Hostess, which she helped bring out of bankruptcy, as well as HJ Heinz, Bestfoods Baking, and PepsiCo. And she's generous with career advice. She wrote a book, Sleep Your Way to the Top (and other myths about business success), founded the career advice website janeknows.com, and is the co-founder of Haevn, which helps students launch their careers. EPISODE QUOTES:On staying self-aware in business[00:17:23] If you've ever had a great success, don't ever assume it was all because of you or the other side of that same coin. Which is, if you have a great failure, don't ever feel like it was all because of you. So, with Lily's, you know, I was really blessed in the sense that we did have this huge macro trend that was going on. We did have a founder who had really created an amazing product. We were first to market. So, we had that sort of opportunity. And we had a team of people that just did some amazing things and aggressively went after sales and marketing. But we had very strong financial management. You know, in many cases with young companies, you don't have the right funding to be able to make the business work, and you're trying to really bootstrap it. So, you know, I think what I've learned over the course of my career, Is that, you know, every success I've had, I've had some role in it. And every failure I've had, I've had some role in. And if you take it for that, which is “What did you learn?”On running your own race[00:08:36] We all have this kind of pressure to figure out how we create in this world, the impact that we want to create. And run your own race, which I did get from Cheryl Strayed, was really about this idea that don't compare yourself to others. Set your own goals and compare yourself to what your goals were. And I think it's such an important concept because if you are very clear on what's important to you, then you can judge yourself against yourself. So when you're trying to start a business, not going on social media and saying, “Oh my gosh, somebody's trying to do the exact same thing.” Running your own race really starts with you being very clear about what's important to you. On creating your own advisory board[00:26:44] I think the core of developing a successful business is surrounding yourself, not with just a great team of people that you've hired, but people around that you can trust. So, a personal advisory board is almost like a board of directors you'd have for a company, but these are people that you have selected that can surround you, and you can go to for advice. It's really important because one of the things I've seen many entrepreneurs is it's, it can be kind of lonely. You feel like you're the only person that is dealing with the issues that you're dealing with when in fact you're not.SHOW LINKS:Guest's Profile:Profile at Leeds School of BusinessJane Miller on LinkedInMore About This Guest:Haevn's WebsiteJaneKnows.Com
