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. <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. <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. <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 bookstore.com. 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. <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>mail2web.com � Enhanced email for the mobile individual based on Microsoft�<br>Exchange - http://link.mail2web.com/Personal/EnhancedEmail<br><br><br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------<br>mail2web.com - Microsoft� Exchange solutions from a leading provider -<br>http://link.mail2web.com/Business/Exchange<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>OE mailing list<br>OE@lists.wedgeblade.net<br>http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net</p></html>
