Real Women, Real Leaders Praise for Real Women, Real Leaders “It all comes down to leadership. The principles of leadership exemplified in this book are our roadmap. Let us not forget that we will never fulfill our 21st century potential if we don’t have leaders capable of taking us there!” Ken Kay, CEO, EdLeader21 and Founding Chair, P21 “This book is critical to every girl and woman aspiring to be a leader and every boy and man committed to supporting a sister, a spouse, a partner, or a mom. All readers can discover remarkable role models, new insight, and new knowledge.” John I. Wilson, Former Executive Director, National Education Association “Hurley and Shumway have produced a vital analysis of the essential skills, talents, and competencies of a fascinating group of female leaders. Not only an inspiring read, but also a practical guide to adopting some of these leaders’ very best approaches in your own professional and personal life.” Deborah Quazzo, Founder and Managing Partner, GSV Advisors “Leading large-scale impact is challenging for anyone, but historically, women have had to overcome added academic and professional obstacles. Real Women, Real Lead- ers captures the powerful stories of women who overcame these hurdles and not only found success but led others to success in the process.” Tom Vander Ark, CEO, Getting Smart, an education advocacy firm “This book is for every woman who has faced challenges in the workplace because of her gender. These stories of women leaders will inspire and help those wishing to not only survive but also thrive because of the unique gifts women bring to the workplace.” Holly Jobe, Past President, International Society for Technology in Education “Real Women, Real Leaders is an authentic and fascinating approach to a vitally im- portant subject. This book is a must read, not only for women, but also for anyone seeking leadership success across a variety of fields.” Thomas Greaves, The Greaves Group, LLC “Real Women, Real Leaders wonderfully knits together stories of women in leadership and begins to build a bridge that can help future generations of girls and women cross to the leadership positions they so richly deserve and need to fill.” Wendy La Duke, Group Publisher, eSchool Media “Hurley and Shumway have put together an excellent and important work. Montana was built by hardworking and fearless mothers, wives, and daughters, Indian and im- migrant both. and Real Women, Real Leaders honors those who carry on the tradition and continue to blaze new trails.” Brian Schweitzer, Governor of Montana from 2005 to 2013 “Real Women, Real Leaders brings together a remarkable set of voices—each uniquely honest, instructive, and inspiring. Together, they document the great degree to which real leadership takes root in personal experience and the way this experience shapes successful women as they make the most of their lives and their chance to guide and help others.” Mark Nieker, CEO and President, Pearson Foundation “Real Women, Real Leaders is an engaging and thoughtful analysis of how women can realize their own power in the workplace. Through inspirational personal stories and first-hand experiences, it provides strategies for women to gain meaningful opportuni- ties in a man’s world. I strongly recommend this transformational book to all women wanting to maximize their power at work, at home, and in their communities.” Rita Ferrandino, Co-Founder, Arc Capital Development “Real Women, Real Leaders shines a light on the crucial reservoir of good leadership that many women display. In their own voices, the extraordinary women portrayed in this book explain the factors that helped them develop into leaders. This is a critical contri- bution to the study of leadership against the odds created by the misguided values of patriarchy. An indispensable resource to all working for a just world.” Fernando M. Reimers, Ford Foundation Professor of Practice of International Education, Harvard University “Thank you, Kathy Hurley and Priscilla Shumway, for capturing the essence of the unique and powerful leadership offered by women. As we strive to provide the skills necessary to succeed the 21st century, it is imperative that girls and women realize their potential to become leaders in all sectors of society. Real Women, Real Leaders delivers those examples of success through the real-life experiences of these amazing women.” Helen Soulé, Executive Director, Partnership for 21st Century Skills “Real Women, Real Leaders is an inspiring and practical guide for women (and men) who seek to understand how to reach key leadership roles and then to be more effective in them. Stand on the shoulders of women who have reached for success and led effective organizations with the help of the editors and contributors to this important work.” Daniel G.

Although just about every parent wants his or her children to be leaders, a parent could teach them to be Olympic athletes more easily. There is no recipe for leadership, no book that tells you what you need to do to teach it or to be one, no school or apprenticeship that will give you the credential. I’ve also avoided saying that women would be better leaders than men, because that generalization is unprovable. Women are as varied as men, their talents and behavior determined by their genes, their upbringing, their education, their environment, their hard work. But what I can say is that men have had a lot more opportunities to lead than women, especially in business and in government. So there is some work to be done. I was lucky enough to get the chance to lead at two wonderful organizations: The Economist magazine and Pearson, plc. for a total of twenty‐two years. I found in that time that the very best way to learn to lead is to meet leaders or read stories of their exploits. That is precisely what the authors of Real Women, Real Leaders have set out to offer us, and I hope you’ll think they’ve succeeded.

    DOCTOR WHO - it's a question and a statement... Compiled by James Deacon [2013] http://aetw.org/omega.html DOCTOR WHO - it's a Question, and a Statement ... Every now and then, I read comments from Whovians about how the programme is called: "Doctor Who" - and how you shouldn't write the title as: "Dr. Who". Also, how the central character is called: "The Doctor", and should not be referred to as: "Doctor Who" (or "Dr. Who" for that matter) But of course, the Truth never quite that simple As the Evidence below will show... * * * * * * * http://aetw.org/omega.html THE PROGRAMME Yes, the programme is titled: "Doctor Who", but from the very beginning – in fact from before the beginning, the title has also been written as: “DR WHO”. From the BBC Archive Original 'treatment' (Proposal notes) for the 1963 series: Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/doctorwho/6403.shtml?page=1 http://aetw.org/omega.html And as to the central character ... Just as with the programme itself - from before the beginning, the central character has also been referred to as: "DR. WHO". [From the same original proposal document:] http://aetw.org/omega.html In the BBC's own 'Radio Times' TV guide (issue dated 14 November 1963), both the programme and the central character are called: "Dr. Who" On page 7 of the BBC 'Radio Times' TV guide (issue dated 21 November 1963) there is a short feature on the new programme: Again, the programme is titled: "DR.

  • The Cambridge Companion to Ibsen
    In the history of modern theatre Ibsen is one of the dominating figures. His conquest of the theatre over the past hundred years - first in Scandinavia, and then very quickly in Europe, North America and the wider world - makes him one of the most frequently performed playwrights in the world today. The sixteen chapters of this Companion, contributed by a distinguished international team, explore Ibsen's life and work, providing an invaluable reference work for students of drama and of literature. In chronological terms they range from an account of Ibsen's earliest pieces, written during the 1850s when he was a young producer in Bergen, through the years of rich experiment- ation when he sought - in historical tragedy, in verse comedy, in dramatic poetry, in philosophical drama - to find his own style and dramatic idiom, to the mature 'Ibsenist' plays that made him famous towards the end of the nineteenth century. Among the thematic topics explored here are Ibsen and comedy, Ibsen and the realistic problem play, and Ibsen and feminism. Another little-known aspect of his art - his achievement as a lyric poet - is given close attention. Two chapters account for the spread of Ibsen's influence on the international stage to the end of the nineteenth century and to the present; three related chapters, including an interview with John Barton and an essay by Arthur Miller, address the challenge that Ibsen's plays continue to present to theatre directors and to the practising dramatists of today, as well as to those who work in film and television.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Doctor Who 1001 Nights by Emma Beeby Doctor Who: 1001 Nights by Emma Beeby. 1001 Nights (Emma Beeby, Gordon Rennie, Jonathan Barnes and Catherine Harvey) Currently Big Finish Production's main Doctor Who range has been divided into four trilogies every year, but with 13 releases in every 12-month cycle, there's always one story that stands alone and this has been reserved for the release for December. For December 2012 this stand-alone story is "1001 Nights" - a Fifth Doctor and Nyssa story starring Peter Davison and Sarah Sutton. "1001 Nights" has been written by: Emma Beeby and Gordon Rennie, Jonathan Barnes and Catherine Harvey. It has been directed by Barnaby Edwards and was recorded on the 7th and 8th August 2012. Joining Peter Davison and Sarah Sutton are: Alexander Siddig, Nadim Sawalha, Malcolm Tierney, Teddy Kempner, Kim Ismay, Debbie Leigh- Simmons, Christopher Luscombe and Oliver Coopersmith. Sylvester McCoy. It has been commented that this story’s lack of ties to other adventures is one of its strengths. As revealed by Barnaby Edwards ‘ The good thing about "1001 Nights" is that you don't need to know any continuity. You don't need to own any other Doctor Who audio stories for it to work - its great strength is that it's not part of a trilogy. It works incredibly well in its own right, and effectively because it's four stories all rolled into one, it's a quartet of new Fifth Doctor and Nyssa stories in one package. Very good value for money! ’.
