Wesley Paterson Announces The Hero's Rope: 365 Days of Fire, a Year of Daily Practice for Leaders

Oct 23, 2026


The daily companion to his Amazon category bestseller gives leaders 365 two-minute entries, each with one practical action to stop rescuing their teams and build capable, accountable people. Releases November 3, 2026.


New York City, New York Oct 23, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Leadership rarely changes in a workshop. According to Certified Management Consultant Wesley Paterson, it changes on an ordinary Tuesday, when a leader chooses not to rescue. That idea drives his new book, The Hero's Rope: 365 Days of Fire, which releases November 3, 2026, from Paterson Consulting Inc. in Kindle, paperback, and hardcover editions. Preorders are open now.

The book is the daily companion to The Hero's Rope: Stop Carrying People Across the River and Start Teaching Them to Cross Themselves, which reached number one in Amazon's Organizational Change category during its April 2026 launch week. The first book is named 20 rescue behaviors: well-meant habits, such as jumping in to fix every problem, that leave teams dependent on one overloaded leader. The new book turns that diagnosis into a year of daily practice.

Each of the 365 entries takes a couple of minutes to read. It pairs a short leadership argument with a pull quote and one concrete action, called THE ROPE, for the reader to practice with their team that day. The year moves through four quarterly arcs:

Quarter 1, Awareness: spotting the rescue patterns leaders have stopped noticing.
Quarter 2, Confrontation: facing the fears, habits, and incentives that keep rescue culture in place.
Quarter 3, Transformation: replacing rescue with coaching, clear ownership and real accountability.
Quarter 4, Mastery: making capability-building the way the team operates every day.

"Most leaders already know they should delegate more. What they lack is a daily practice that holds when the pressure is on," said Paterson. "Each entry asks for one small decision to step back and let your people grow. Over a year, those decisions build a team that no longer needs rescuing, and a leader who has time to lead."

Readers do not need the first book to start. Every entry stands on its own, and those who know the 20 rescue behaviors will see how to apply them across a full year. Leadership teams can also use the two books together as a shared program, discussing each week's ROPE actions in their regular check-ins.

Paterson is President of Paterson Consulting Inc. and Vice Chair of the Institute of Certified Management Consultants of Alberta. Over more than 20 years and 500 engagements, he has advised organizations in energy, manufacturing, healthcare and government. He received the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal and led the RenuWell brownfield-to-solar initiative, which won CMC-Canada's Project of the Year Silver award. His signature keynote, Grab the Rope, brings the framework to conferences and executive teams.

Local figure skating competition Halloween Cup goes international

For its second year, recreational figure skating competition SM Skating Halloween Cup, hosted several international participants for the first time, making the local contest into an international meet. “So this is the second year we hosted the Halloween Cup. This year, the difference is it's an international competition. The first year that we hosted it we had over 100 participants, but this year almost 180 participants,” explained Nikki Cheng, president of the Philippine Skating Union. More than 180 figure skaters from the Philippines, Mongolia, Thailand, and the United States, participated in the event, which was held from October 16 to 18 at SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City. Wearing various costumes, from Disney princesses to K-pop idols, the young skaters showcased their skating skills and fun routines. For the first, the competition also joins the Ice Skating Institute Asia (ISIAsia) Championship Series. According to the competition, the event was not just a “thrilling Halloween spectacle” but it “champions SM Active's mission to make sports accessible, nurture young talent, and inspire more Filipinos to embrace an active lifestyle”. “We feel that it is very important for its contribution to grassroots development. We see that the sport is continually growing. In this event we get to discover who are the ones that we would bring into the national developmental [program]. This is a recruitment stage for us,” Nikki shared. Check out the photos from this year's event in the gallery below: Love this content?

Letran edges San Sebastian, keeps Stags winless in NCAA

MANILA, Philippines — Colegio de San Juan de Letran denied San Sebastian College-Recoletos a chance to crack into the win column, escaping with a 91-89 victory in the NCAA Season 102 men’s basketball tournament on Friday afternoon at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City. The Knights improved to 7-3 and remained atop Group B, while the Golden Stags dropped to 0-10. Unlike their first-round meeting, which Letran dominated 99-62, the Knights were forced to work much harder in the rematch. With Letran leading 86-83 and 1:04 remaining in the game, Vincent Segovia drained a fadeaway jumper and Christian Ricio followed with a layup to give San Sebastian an 87-86 edge. Aaron Buensalida immediately answered with a layup of his own with 38 seconds remaining, and Nathaniel Montecillo converted both free throws to put Letran back in front, 89-87. Niel Castro then tied the game at 89-all with a jumper with seven seconds left. But Letran head coach Allen Ricardo drew up a final play for Jimboy Estrada, who knocked down a jumper with two seconds remaining to seal the 91-89 win. “Of course, during the dying seconds of the game, you go to your go-to guy. I trusted Jimboy and he delivered,” Ricardo said. “We had lapses in the game. San Sebastian also improved its transition threes, and we became a bit lousy. So in those final seconds, we went to Jimboy.” Chad Gammad led Letran with 23 points, five rebounds, and three assists. Buensalida stepped up in the absence of veteran Kevin Santos, finishing with 21 points and six rebounds. Estrada added 14 points, while Froilan Reyes chipped in 13. Caesleyh Bacani paced San Sebastian with 24 points, while John Ynot and Segovia contributed 16 and 13 points, respectively.
