IT IS THE TIME TO LEAD - THE TIME TO ANSWER THE CALL OF DIGNITY & HONOUR.

Dear , 

We are living in an age where silence is dangerous, indifference is costly, and ignorance is no longer an excuse.

You may not wear a title, sit in a boardroom, or hold public office—but you are still a leader.

Because leadership isn’t about positions—it’s about purpose. It’s about vision. It’s about the courage to act on what matters, when it matters most. 

And that time is now. 

Across the world, we are witnessing a catastrophic collapse of leadership. 

Nations are at war—some fighting multiple wars simultaneously. 

Innocent citizens are being uprooted and deported by the very people sworn to protect them. 

Policies are weaponized.

Truth is manipulated. 

Nations, not just individuals, are being bullied into silence.

It’s no longer just about them. 

It’s about us. 

All of us. 

That’s why we cannot afford to be passive. 

We cannot afford to postpone our growth or outsource our impact. 

Whether you’re a parent raising a child, a teacher shaping minds, a pastor guiding hearts, an entrepreneur building a brand, or simply a person determined to make a difference—you must rise to the call of leadership. 

Not because the world gave you authority, 

but because you’ve decided to accept responsibility. 

At the International School of Greatness, in partnership with the Canadian Congress on Inclusive Diversity & Workplace Equity and other organizations dedicated to advancing human transformation, we occasionally host free leadership symposia to bring together global minds and hearts.

Our aim is not just to discuss ideas—but to ignite action, inspire hope, and develop the kind of transnational leadership the world so desperately needs. 

And tomorrow evening, we’re inviting you to be part of one such urgent gathering: Register for FREE at https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/wPkldvfhQIWCsdr1WBJUGA

According to Nosakhare Alex Ihama, the organizer of national transformational summits worldwide:

"I have no doubt—Jamaica’s time is now. As the world grapples with an unprecedented crisis of leadership in the very halls we once revered, a new voice must rise. A voice of vision. A voice of purpose. A voice of transformation. And I believe that voice can come from Jamaica. This is not just a moment for Jamaica to rise—it is a moment for Jamaica to lead. Not just the Caribbean, but the world. And that leadership must begin within every Jamaican, regardless of title, position, or background. Because true leadership is not about a seat at the table—it’s about impact, integrity, and vision.

That’s why it is the highest honour to welcome Dr. Julius Garvey, son of our revered national hero, the Rt. Hon. Marcus Mosiah Garvey. His presence is nothing short of historic—a powerful bridge between legacy and destiny. Joining him are titans like Michael Lee-Chin, the Jamaican-born billionaire whose business acumen and philanthropy inspire millions; Richard Lawson, the Hollywood legend and transformational educator whose story of legacy and purpose has moved audiences worldwide; and a host of others.

We are equally thrilled to welcome Patricia Bebia, the celebrated Canadian screenwriter, director, and producer, whose film The Life Coach—a riveting story of healing, resilience, and redemption—will premiere as the grand finale of the Summit.
