Yaw L. Obeng, acclaimed educational leader and former Superintendent of Education for the Halton District School Board, will return to Ontario on June 10, 2025, for the Canadian launch of his highly anticipated book, Calculated Risk: Leadership Lessons and Stories. The event will take place from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM at Abbey Park Secondary School, 1455 Glen Abbey Gate, Oakville, ON.

 

This special evening, hosted by the Halton Learning Foundation, will feature an author reading, book signing, meet-and-greet, and light refreshments. A portion of the proceeds will directly benefit students in need across the Halton District School Board, reinforcing Obeng’s enduring commitment to community impact.

 

As Superintendent in Halton, Obeng led major initiatives advancing inclusive education, equity, and student achievement. Under his leadership, Halton expanded programs that supported diverse learners, strengthened community partnerships, and fostered an environment where innovation and calculated risks were encouraged to improve student outcomes.

 

Calculated Risk offers a groundbreaking approach to decision-making, introducing the CRISP framework — Clarity of Purpose, Risk Assessment, Informed Decision-Making, Strategic Planning, and Proactive Monitoring — drawn from Obeng’s decades of leadership experience across Canada and the United States. Far from a traditional leadership manual, the book invites readers to reflect on their own decision-making journeys and develop the courage to act decisively when it matters most.

 

The June 10th event is not just a celebration of a book — it’s an invitation to a larger movement. Obeng’s message is clear: bold leadership is not about titles, but about purpose, preparation, and the willingness to take calculated risks that drive meaningful change.
