Did you know that Nizwa was the former capital of Oman, well before Muscat? An ancient city in the interior, Nizwa sits on a plain characterised by seasonal rivers and palm plantations. The city's Falaj Daris, Oman's largest water source and a UNESCO site, is situated at the crossroads of age-old trade routes. Known as The Pearl of Islam, Nizwa served as the capital of Oman under the Julanda dynasty in the sixth and seventh centuries. Around a millennium later, in 1668, the Nizwa fort became the administrative seat of authority for presiding Imams. The adjoining marketplace, Nizwa Souq, is never shy of handicrafts and silversmiths. Come join us in a discovery of Nizwa, with fascinating insights by Oman's Ministry of Tourism. Speaker: Ms Asma Salim Hamoud Al Hajry, Oman's Ministry of Tourism Ms Asma Salim Hamoud Al Hajry is the Deputy Director-General of Tourism, Marketing and Promotion at Oman's Ministry of Tourism.

How was your childhood? Of what you didn't like, have you been able to share that with your parents? I know all too well the hardest thing with sharing your honest feelings, regarding your childhood, can either lead to getting your ass beat or your mind beat (a.k.a manipulation). Not so sure which is worse. I have not always been able to talk things out with my mother so I am over joyed that I have made it to this point. Connecting helps to emotionally empty the baggage we are totting around. Listen in on this amusing and exposed conversation with my mother. One of the things my eccentric mother is very good at is being mentally strong against group think. I have learned so much about what has made her this way. Hopefully, you will be able to get influenced on how to be mentally strong. Most importantly after listening to this conversation, think of some of the most intrusive questions that you would like to ask your parent(s). Understanding our parents helps us to understand ourselves! Intrigued on how this beautiful woman looks?

Segment I - a continuation of our discussion on Shareholder Activism with Chris Young from Credit Suisse. We will cover what Chris describes as The Vulnerability Framework. We will discuss the conditions that make a company particularly vulnerable to activism. Segment II - a conversation with Allen Leverett, President CEO of WEC Energy Group in Milwaukee. We will discuss how WEC has reshaped itself through M&A over the last 10 years into a vastly different company that serves 4.4 million customers across 4 states in the upper Midwest.  Segment III - a continuation of our discussion with Tanuja Dehne on impediments to boardroom effectiveness. Famous Last Words - In our last episode, Episode 11, we introduced a spot called Famous Last Words. We intersperse excerpts from MGM’s 1954 movie Executive Suite starring William Holden, Barbara Stanwyck, and Fredric March. For you utility enthusiasts, it also stars the PPL Building (Pennsylvania Power & Light) in Allentown, Pennsylvania as the exterior of the Tredway Corporation.  The plot backdrop -- Avery Bullard, President of the Tredway Corporation has died. But he never named a clear successor, so the Board members must choose. The most likely candidate is Loren Shaw, a skilled businessman with a high degree of financial acumen.  Their intense and consequential boardroom discussion will weave through our episode.

A CEO’s Virtual Mentor Episode 11  Board Governance & Effectiveness, Shareholder Activism, and Utility Industry Consolidation and M&A Guests include: Corporate governance expert, Tanuja Dehne Paul Bonavia, Retired Chairman and CEO of UNS Energy Chris Young, Managing Director and head of the Contested Situations Group, Credit Suisse   If you did not join us for our last episode, Episode 10 which was a special podcast on Innovation, you may have missed the announcement that we formed two companies under Leadership Lyceum’s brand: Lyceum Leadership Consulting which provides executive and board of director’s search, board effectiveness review, and an array of services for successor development and board-readiness.  And Lyceum Leadership Productions which brings you this podcast.  We also announced that we would be expanding the programming of the episodes this summer.  Well happy summer!  This is the first of our expanded episodes.  Welcome to Episode 11 which expands the programming into three segments.  We will continue to bring you the in-depth CEO and Director interviews around compelling business situations as a main middle segment, Segment II.  That main segment will be bookended over the next three Episodes with shorter Segments I and III.  At least over the next three episodes, Segment I will cover Board and Corporate Governance Best Practices on one hand and Segment III will cover the consequences of deficiencies in corporate governance, namely shareholder activism, on the other.  We hope you enjoy this expanded coverage which we will be refining over the next few episodes.  So please subscribe through iTunes and give us feedback on the new programming.  Tell us about leadership situations and subjects that you are interested in us exploring.  Please visit our website www.LeadershipLyceum.com for all of our archived media and offerings.  We will be right back to start the program.   Welcome back to this newly expanded Episode 11 of the Leadership Lyceum: A CEO’s Virtual Mentor.  We welcome three fabulous guests to this Episode.    Introduction to Episode 11 Program In Segment I the first of a series on Corporate Governance and Board Effectiveness, we welcome governance expert Tanuja Dehne.  Tanuja serves on two public company boards and is a frequent speaker on board governance -- most recently she was part of the instructor panel for the NACD Advanced Director Professionalism program earlier this month.  In Segment II we welcome Paul Bonavia, retired Chairman and CEO of UNS Energy (better known as Tucson Electric Power).  We will explore the triggers and interconnected events that have led to remarkable levels of consolidation in the electric utility industry and Paul’s leadership of the sale of UNS to Fortis in August 2014. In Segment III, the first of a series on Shareholder Activism, we will be joined by Chris Young, Managing Director and Head of the Contested Situations Group at Credit Suisse.  In the first part of this series we will cover the history of activism and the market for corporate governance, growth in the asset class, and answer a fundamental question: what do activists want?  We will be right back with Segment one with Tanuja Dehne on Corporate Governance and Board Effectiveness.    Segment I: Governance & Board Matters “Corporate Governance and Board Effectiveness” I am delighted to be joined by Tanuja Dehne. Tanuja is a corporate governance expert and serves as an independent director on two NYSE-listed, company boards: Advanced Disposal Services, a $1.4 billion revenue environmental services company and newly IPO’d, Granite Point, a publicly-traded commercial mortgage REIT.  She also dedicates her time to not-for-profit board service including the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, Young Audiences, HomeFront NJ, and Sustainable Jersey. That ends Segment I with Tanuja Dehne.  Join us for our continuing conversation with Tanuja next month in Episode 12 --- we’ll discuss derailers to effective boards and effective leadership styles in the boardroom.  And shall I say it?  Why not.  As a self-promoting reminder, the Lyceum Leadership Consulting does provide third party, Board Effectiveness Review.    Segment II:  Main Feature Interview “Special Guest Paul Bonavia, Retired Chairman and CEO of UNS Energy”  You may have read our article in the May 2017 issue of Public Utilities Fortnightly about our next guest - Paul Bonavia.  By sheer coincidence, I wrote that article for Fortnightly on April 1 of 2017 in Chicago Illinois.  Exactly ten years before that on April 1, 2007, the Illinois General Assembly passed a resolution designating April 1st as “Cheap Trick Day” in Illinois. I am giddy with delight to come as close as I can to a Rolling Stone reporter in featuring this conversation with drummer Paul Bonavia, who in his younger days was in bands with members that would go on to form Cheap Trick.   While I’m sure some subset of our listenership is interested in Paul’s pre-utility rock and roll lifestyle, this conversation was directed toward Paul’s “alternative” lifestyle as a CEO of an investor-owned utility and the sale of the company he led --- to Fortis in August of 2014.  Segment III: Special Subjects Segment “First of a Mini-Series on Shareholder Activism with Chris Young, Head of Contested Situations at Credit Suisse” Welcome to our final segment in this Episode on the dramatic, consternation-filled subject of shareholder activism.  That’s Orson Welles in his introduction to his panic-producing, 1938 radio masterpiece War of the Worlds. For the Lyceum, an allegorical backdrop of an environment well-suited to some “alien” form of activism perhaps? This is our mini-series on Shareholder Activism, and we are joined by Chris Young, Managing Director and Head of the Contested Situations Group at Credit Suisse.  In this first part of this series we will cover the history of activism and the market for corporate governance, growth in the asset class, and answer a fundamental question: what do activists want? As a backdrop, The Wall Street Journal reported recently that shareholder activism, which has been a perennial nuisance for chief executives, is now becoming an existential threat. Activists are going beyond just settling for board seats and are waging campaigns that target changes in top management at the outset. So far in 2017, and this is going back a few weeks right now, but so far in 2017 activists have started nine campaigns targeting top management. This is the fastest pace on record according to FactSet. I have represented two clients this year from the power and utility industry on board searches in the face of shareholder activism.  While two companies experiencing activism does not constitute a trend, my clients’ experience of late certainly seemed to warrant raising awareness with our CEO’s Virtual Mentor listenership by featuring this fascinating and informative conversation with Chris Young.  As we were in production on this podcast, Daniel Loeb, founder of activist investor Third Point, demonstrated this activism genius by accumulating a small 1.25% stake in Nestle, published a letter on a Sunday and two days later, Nestle announced a $20.8 billion share buyback as well as clarifying other strategic objectives. Closing of Segment III That ends Segment III.  We will continue this discussion with Chris Young in late July with Episode 12.  We’ll cover more on the “mainstreaming” of activism as an asset class and we will take apart the activist’s playbook and take you step by step through the Escalation Path.      Preview of Next Month’s Episode 12 We will be back with Episode 12 at the end of July featuring more on corporate governance with Tanuja Dehne and activism with Chris Young and an interview with Allen Leverett, President and CEO of WEC Energy Group in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  WEC has been highly acquisitive over the last decade, Allen and I will discuss the company’s significant growth that has led to a uniquely different collection of operating assets over that time period.  Final Spot: Famous Last Words As we sign off we wrap with another new spot on our program called “Famous Last Words”.  In keeping with our War of the Worlds – Shareholder Activism allegory we will leave you to be restored to the real world in the good hands of, an out-of-character, Mr. Orson Welles.    Thanks for joining us.  We can’t improve without your feedback – write us through our website www.LeadershipLyceum.com and subscribe on iTunes.  See you next time.   Informative and Helpful Links The Lyceum’s Well-Tuned Governance Model https://www.leadershiplyceum.com/lyceum-board-effectiveness   War of the Worlds Link to one the Lyceum’s favorite websites – archive.org.

The minute Pernille walked into her classroom she knew she wanted to be like her because she taught from the heart and made each student feel like they were the most important thing in her world. It is important for other teachers to know that we all have had setbacks in the classroom. Identify an instance in which you struggled as a teacher and explain what you learned from that experience. – One lesson that stood out was during student teaching. It was a math lesson and the students were totally lost. She kept repeating the instructions over and over, almost forcing it upon kids. She knew it was failing and couldn't fix it at the moment. It taught her that you couldn't just barrel through the content or lesson, especially when its someone else's idea. You have to make it your own. What is the challenge in teaching?  – You are many things to many kids. Some need need discipline, some need a bystander in their life, some need comfort. You cant be the same teacher for every kid. What is one thing that you love about the classroom?    – The students -- what they give to you. THey offer up pieces of they heart and their soul for you to safeguard. She also loves the fact that it is never the same.

ELA Curriculum Master TeacherASCD 2014 Emerging Leader Download on iTunes Segment I – Background and Inspiration   Tell your story. Where are you from and how long have you been teaching? What classes have you taught?    – Nicole is a Curriculum Master Teacher for K-12 English Language Arts for the school district of Lee County in Florida. She has taught all levels of ELA which helps in her current role, forming vertical alignment for her district. Who has helped you in your journey to become a master teacher?  – Her career as a teacher started as a child. Her father was a state teacher of the year in New Jersey. She enjoyed watching him engage with his students and she wanted to be a part of that magic.  It is important for other teachers to know that we all have had setbacks in the classroom. Identify an instance in which you struggled as a teacher and explain what you learned from that experience. – In her first year, Nicole was asked to do a pre-reading lesson on The Grapes of Wrath. She planned this amazing lesson and had students listen to Woody Guthrie's "This Land is My Land." It was an ESOL course and there were 11 students that represented 11 different countries. Hence, this land was NOT their land.  Yet, it turned into a discussion about the songs of their native lands.  What is the challenge in teaching?  – There is a huge challenge giving relevant and timely feedback. Nicole is looking at digital tools to help solve this problem.   What is one thing that you love about the classroom?    – The absolute love for the profession comes from the proverbial student who asks, "how did you get that from one paragraph?" learn to think for himself or herself and do that level of analysis on their own.  Segment II — What book do you recommend to a teacher that wants to develop?                 What is one thing a teacher can do outside the classroom that can pay off inside the classroom? -- Nicole takes the time to read for pleasure. Certainly we need to read our curriculum, but we must re-engage with pleasure reading because the more teachers do that the more they can stay excited about books and have great conversations with students. Is there an internet resource that you can recommend which will help teachers grow professionally? --  Nicole recommends that new teachers join organizations like NCTE, ASCD. They give you such great exposure to a wide array of professional reading.  Also, she recommends free professional development opportunities like Twitter, Talks with Teachers Book Club, or MOOCs. Provide a writing practice that is effective?  –  She encourages other teachers to have students frame conversations in class with claim, evidence, connection. It improves the quality of discourse in class, which then results in better writing later on.  Update the cannon.

Identify an instance in which you struggled as a teacher and explain what you learned from that experience. – In 2011 she wrote a piece called "Things Fall Apart" about one of those times when she taught something and she felt her students really knew it. But when it came time for the evaluation, it turns out they didn't know it. She realized that she could get frustrated or freak out, but she decided to reverse engineer the entire thing -- the test, the unit. They went back and figured out what went wrong.  It turned into a great experience because she realized what she did wrong and the students realized what they failed to do as well. What is the challenge in teaching three different subjects?  – There is a huge challenge in changing gears with three different preps. Yet, the most challenging aspect in middle school is the huge difference in ability levels -- based not on smarts, but on the neurological connections that happen in the brain. Some kids are able to handle symbolism and metaphor, yet some are still thinking concretely.   What is one thing that you love about the classroom?    – The moment where a kid that has been looking at you blankly for two years, and then suddenly you will see it click. A student will move from a literal interpretation of just words on a page to realizing that there is so much more underneath those words.  Segment II — What book do you recommend to a teacher that wants to develop?                 What is one thing a teacher can do outside the classroom that can pay off inside the classroom? -- She takes them outside the classroom, especially for writing.   the question that is in her mind and she puts on her tennis shoes.

Do you have a thesis? Is there evidence to support that thesis? What structure would best support your thesis? She does not do a lot of creative writing in the classroom.  Update the cannon. What books belongs in the classroom?  Jessica is a fan of the classics. Middle school teachers are in a weird spot because often the books she wants to put in kids' hands are "mature." That said,

Segment I.    What's Going On A.    I took a trip to California for MacWorld.  Tried to do last week's podcast in a train station, not a good idea.  Was going to do this one on the train but learned from my mistake. B.    Just to familiarize those who didn't listen to the first couple of podcasts or who might not remember, I divide my podcast into chapters, this way you can easily move back and forward within the podcasts.  The segments are: No. 1.    What's Going On – this one No. 2.    WoW News No. 3.    Alt Round Up – I did have the Burning Crusade Beta in the line up but now that it's about to go Gold, any discussion about BC will just fall into the normal layout. No. 4.    Server Shoutout – Listeners can email me and mention their guilds or just say hello No. 5.    In the House – How WoW affects you at home and how your home affects your WoW. No. 6.    Favorite Places in WoW – discusses little things about WoW that anyone can share, things that normally go unnoticed. No. 7.    Emails, when and if I get any. No. 8.    Closing  thoughts about the show C.    There was a patch last Tues Jan 8th that made some changes No. 1.    Ore now stackable by 20 No. 2.    Add Ons need to be updated- the two main ones I use were updated 1.    Titan Panel 2.    SellValue 3.     Found a new one while I was on Curse Gaming– List My Junk http://wow.curse-gaming.com/en/files/details/2623/list-my-junk-by-zayla/ Segment II.    WoW News A.    Stores will be open at midnight on Monday night/Tuesday morning to sell the Expansion pack B.    I patched to 2.04 but I guess there was a 2.05 version that caused some havoc. Segment III.    Alt Round Up – All Alts transferred to Baelgun except for one on each account.  There were some glitches that caused delays, but the blues on the WoW forums said they were working on it. A.    Who's Doing what No. 1.    Treshel No. 2.    Prilfire gathering in Badlands No. 3.    Pryl in Westfall No. 4.    Rilfire headed to Undercity to purchase a Guild Charter from the Guild Master there.  She's going to start Ctrl Alt WoW.  Aprillian was going to do it, but she's stuck in the transfer queue.  This means, for those who don't already know, after she purchases the Guild Charter from the Guild Master for 10 silver she has to find 9 other unique accounts to sign the charter and then she'll have a guild.  By unique I mean only one alt from any account can sign, so you can't make a guild by having you and your nine alts sign it.  So, if you don't have 9 people all ready to join your guild, it involves running around asking total strangers to sign, usually you offer them 50 silver.  Some will ask for more, some will do it for free.  Once you have the 9 names, you go back to the Guild Master and register your guild and then you will have a guild with guild chat and you will be the Guild leader.  Most of the people you've asked to sign your charter will leave.  Which is okay, because I just wanted the guild because I like having all of my alts in the same guild because it makes it easier to keep track of them and automatically makes their names come up in the mailbox to entry line when you start typing the first few letters. B.    Ideas/Discussion No. 1.    Your First Alt.  An alt, by definition, is a backup to your main character.  What generally happens is you make a character and run around learning how to do stuff.  Then you either start running out of space in your bags and inventory, or you need something you can't make and don't want to pay a lot for on the Auction House, or you want to try another class.  In fact, you might find one of your alts becomes your main.   No. 2.    The Banker Alt – some call this alt their mule Segment IV.    Server Shout out A.    Baelgun No. 1.    From Whom No. 2.    Aprillian B.    Server Segment V.    In The House – Discussing what is going on in our real lives that has been affected by playing World of Warcraft A.    My Trip to MacWorld – laptop data plan with Cingular No. 1.    Played Sims 2 when out of signal range B.    Trains late – wanted to try to get back home by Monday night, drove me crazy Segment VI.    Favorite Places/Things about WoW A.    Stormwind No. 1.    don't like all the bridges No. 2.    But maybe it's because I'm Horde B.    Burning Crusade – new places – send email Segment VII.    Email – A.    Still looking for some No. 1.    Ctrlaltwow@gmail.com - email No. 2.    http://ctrlaltwow.blogspot.com - website/blog No. 3.    http://Ctrlaltwow.podcastspot.com - podcast site Just checked my email and Zeam from the Frostmourne server writes “hi aprillian just dropping a line to say that i enjoy listening to your showand keep it up.” Thank you Zeam for my first email.   Segment VIII.    Closing Thoughts A.    Burning Crusade No. 1.    Going to be awesome No. 2.    Learned my lesson about audio quality No. 3.
