Enjoy <br><br>THE ICA CANADA Courage to Lead Book Launch<br>2012 marks the 50th year for the ICA. We celebrated the last 50 years by<br>attending ICA Canada’s Annual General Meeting and the Launch of the Courage<br>to Lead second edition. <br>We were met with wonderful smells from India as Mariam Gibson had prepared<br>a gourmet selection of Indian dishes. Old friends and colleagues milled<br>with fresh young faces of folks who have recently met the ICA. What a<br>thrill to see such vitality. <br>The launch was initiated by Jeanette Stanfield as she placed Brian’s photo<br>on a table in the front of the room. His dedication to the creation of the<br>first edition was relived in stories, jokes and memories. We were reminded<br>that the initial creation was born from the questions of board members and<br>particularly from a young board member Shelley Cleverly who felt<br>passionately the need to share the depths of the ICA commitment to society<br>and a lifestyle of service. <br>Shelley and Duncan Holmes recounted their memories of Monday morning<br>meetings where colleagues brainstormed common wisdom, read Brian’s writing<br>and probed for clarity and insight. The first version was published in<br>2000 and seminars were launched in Toronto. Over the years a faculty has<br>grown up through the courses being offered publicly at ICA and on a regular<br>basis through the University Health Network which staffs several hospitals<br>in downtown Toronto. A colleague who had surgery in one of those hospitals<br>recently commented on how caring she experienced the doctors, nurses and<br>maintenance staff.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>Twelve young faculty were on hand to enable us to encounter the twelve<br>chapters. Independently, Richard and I both selected the chapter on<br>Historical Involvement along with David Patterson, a long-time colleague.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>In our time together we explored the ‘passing’ of the baton from one<br>generation to the next. Perhaps this was what was most evident in the<br>evening’s celebration that the vision of a baton of service and life<br>abundant was being passed to a new generation. We ended the evening with<br>toasts and a group creation of a drawing which claimed promises for The<br>Courage to Lead .<br>The original edition captured the existential wisdom of thousands of<br>colleagues over several decades of Order and movement life. The second<br>edition is the same book made new. Duncan Holmes in the forward of the<br>book says: “We have worked to make the book more accessible, the language<br>easier and the references more familiar. Sometimes we have added more<br>current examples. I’ve heard people say that they didn’t understand a<br>chapter the first time around. The second time, it was “Wow! Now I get it.<br>What a powerhouse!” In this revised edition we wanted to make the<br>powerhouse in each chapter visible on the first read. “ Brian’s laughing<br>voice is still present. There are also the life stories of a new<br>generation willing to transform themselves and build the new society.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>You’ll want to get your copy and share it with the next generation. The<br>best part is that you can download an ebook or get a paperback from<br>iUniverse<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://bookstore.com">bookstore.com</a>. The paperback will be printed in Canada, USA,<br>Great Britain or Australia depending on the location of the order and<br>shipped around the world. Or ask your favorite bookstore to order it.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>Barnes and Noble is already carrying the 2nd edition of The Courage to<br>Lead, Transform Self, Transform Society. On the cover of the 2nd edition,<br>you will see geese flying in the formation of a wedge. Hope you like it. <br>Jan Sanders<br><br><br><br><br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------<br><a href="http://mail2web.com">mail2web.com</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>– Enhanced email for the mobile individual based on Microsoft®<br>Exchange -<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://link.mail2web.com/Personal/EnhancedEmail">http://link.mail2web.com/Personal/EnhancedEmail</a><br><br><br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------<br><a href="http://mail2web.com">mail2web.com</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>- Microsoft® Exchange solutions from a leading provider -<br><a href="http://link.mail2web.com/Business/Exchange">http://link.mail2web.com/Business/Exchange</a><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>OE mailing list<br><a href="mailto:OE@lists.wedgeblade.net">OE@lists.wedgeblade.net</a><br><a href="http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net">http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net</a><br></div>_______________________________________________<br>OE mailing list<br><a href="mailto:OE@lists.wedgeblade.net">OE@lists.wedgeblade.net</a><br><a href="http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net">http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net</a><br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
