An Unapologetically Canadian 8-part Strategy Series for Courageous Leadership in the Age of Chaos. The old rules are cracking. Your leadership is more vital than ever. Wildfires, whistleblowers, algorithmic outrage, and a growing pile of expectations. If you’re a leader in Canada right now, you don’t need a pep talk, you need a resilience strategy with a backbone. This 8-part training series is made by Canadian leaders, for Canadian leaders, rooted in our values, our politics, and our people. Whether you’re running a business, leading a nonprofit, managing a team, guiding a board, or pushing for policy change, this series gives you the tools to lead with clarity, courage, and a little Canadian fire. Learning Objectives: By the end of this 8-part series, you’ll be able to: Reframe Canadian leadership. Understand why true leadership in Canada means more than saying “sorry” and holding the door. It’s about showing up with clarity, courage, and care in the chaos. Identify your leadership orientation. Use the Canadian Leadership Compass Check to reflect on where you naturally lead, from strategy, vision, authenticity, or connection, and where you may need to flex. Spot values under pressure. Name the leadership values that are driving you (and draining you) using the Values Under Pressure Diagnostic, because burnout isn’t a leadership strategy. Debunk polite myths. Explore why “polite” leadership doesn’t cut it in 2025. Learn what it means to lead like a bold, resilient Canadian, whether you’re running a board, a business, or a community BBQ. Build change-ready strategy. Apply practical tools like the Equiiti Arc and the Change Readiness Radar to lead through disruption without losing your direction or your team. Navigate conflict with confidence. Use the Calm is a Superpower Method and Conflict Mapping Tool to handle tough conversations and emotional dynamics with clarity, not chaos. Operationalize inclusion. Move beyond buzzwords with hands-on tools to lead equity-informed, values-based work that sticks, even when resources are tight and resistance is high. Stay rooted and resilient. Craft your personal leadership roadmap to stay grounded in your values, prepared for disruption, and ready to grow the kind of impact Canada needs now. And yes, laugh. Because if you’re leading through chaos without a sense of humour, we need to talk.
