Kingston WritersFest is delighted to present former Minister of Justice Jody Wilson-Raybould and Roshan Danesh with their new book, The Inbetween Leader: Cultivating Courage and Unity in a Complex World.
The Inbetween Leader begins with the premise that our models for leadership have proven wanting in an era where polarization seems the norm and compromise and consensus are political anathema Today's hyper-partisan climate regularly rewards division, leaving traditional institutions ill-equipped to handle modern social and political fractures.
Instead, Jody and Roshan propose an alternative style of leadership, one that fosters interconnectedness, empowers diverse teams, and maintains unity without erasing difference. Rather than demanding total assimilation or conformity, this approach seeks strength in diverse viewpoints. Drawing on Indigenous governance traditions and ancestral wisdom, The authors will share actionable strategies to replace our failing, hierarchical leadership models with relational, community-driven frameworks built for the modern era.

Jeremy Fisher and Séan McCann: United in Song
Some friendships are forged on the road. Séan McCann and Jeremy Fisher met in the lounge of a dusty tour bus behind an arena in Sudbury. Within minutes, they had guitars in hand and began co-writing their first song together. 
Their last proper co-headline tour was in 2011. Now, in 2026 they're bringing it back together with United in Song; a revue of their best and most beloved music. Séan and Jeremy will step on stage at the same time, trading tunes and backing each other up. If you like acoustic guitars, Irish hand drums, tin whistles, big heartfelt singalongs, and good stories, this show is for you. 
United in Song is a deliberate act of joyful resistance. In a world increasingly mediated by screens, algorithms, and artificial intelligence, Séan and Jeremy are making the case — loudly, melodically, and with considerable charm — that one of the most life-affirming human experiences is when real artists, play real songs, for real people, in a real room.
Expect the hits. Expect the stories. Expect to sing! 
Let's get together.
