Register today: The courage to lead online study series Description As a leader, do you have the courage to turn the lens inward and examine what you bring to your daily interactions? If leadership is about relationships, who are you in those interactions? Are you willing to look inside and see how you show up in the world? How do you keep learning from your experience and trust your own inner wisdom? What role do you want to play in the change process in society, work, community and family? If you have ever asked yourself these questions, we would like to invite you to join our 13-week online study series (every Tuesday, starting March 26 – June 18, 2019), where you will get to explore your relationship to life, self and the world. The aim of this study is to provide the tools for deep reflection on how you can become the best leader you can be. What this study is not: A workshop of tips and techniques on how to be a better manager A crash course in leadership skills

This Giving Tuesday, support the next generation of purpose-driven leaders There’s no denying that purposeful, compassionate and inclusive leadership is now needed more than ever. Research shows that great leaders often take the time to cultivate and develop the skills they need to make a positive difference on their teams, communities and the world. ICA Canada exists to support change agents in their leadership journeys’. Our goal is to raise $5000 before the end of 2018 to support young leaders to acquire the skills and knowledge they can utilize to effect positive change. We’re looking forward to expanding our reach in the new year and your generous contributions will definitely help us realize this. How your donation will make a difference Your gift of $150 will provide 1 youth with five hours of one-on-one coaching by a TOP facilitator. Your gift of $100 will provide 4 youth participants with a face-to-face 1-day professional and personal development workshop. Your gift of $50 will contribute to books or manuals for 3 youth participants. To donate, please click here. Thank you so much for helping us achieve our mission!
