An Inspiring Start to an Eight-Week Journey
ICA Canada is delighted to announce the launch of its eight-week Courage to Lead (CTL) series in partnership with ICA Kenya.
This international collaboration brings together participants in Kenya and a dedicated team of Guides from Canada, the United States, and Taiwan, including Larry Philbrook of ICA Taiwan.
The opening session introduced participants to the Courage to Lead approach to leadership, which encourages individuals to reflect on their lived experiences, discover what matters most to them, and recognize their capacity to lead from where they stand.
Exploring Everyday Care
The first session focused on Everyday Care, exploring how caring gives significance to our lives and influences our relationships, actions, and leadership.
Participants shared thoughtful reflections, including:
- “Care is something you enjoy doing…and people will be inspired by the way you handle care.”
- “Care is as it is, without expecting anything back.”
- “Sharing is a lifestyle.”
These reflections captured the spirit of the session and highlighted the many ways care can be expressed in everyday life.
A Journey of Learning and Connection
Over the coming seven weeks, participants will continue exploring the leadership challenges presented in R. Brian Stanfield’s The Courage to Lead, through guided conversations, personal reflection, and shared experiences.
ICA Canada extends its sincere appreciation to ICA Kenya, the international Guide team, and all participants for making this first gathering such a meaningful beginning.
We look forward to sharing more from this journey as it unfolds!
