SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 9, 2025--

FranklinCovey ( NYSE: FC ), the premier organizational performance partner, announced today the launch of its newest leadership course, Disrupt Everything: Innovate for Impact. It’s based on The New York Times bestselling book, Disrupt Everything and Win: Take Control of Your Future, co-authored by James Patterson, the world’s bestselling author with the most #1 New York Times bestsellers, and Patrick Leddin, PhD, Wall Street Journal bestselling author, and FranklinCovey Senior Advisor.

In today’s volatile marketplace, disruption is no longer an occasional challenge—it’s a constant reality. Market shifts, emerging technologies, such as AI, and organizational shake-ups happen without warning. Yet it’s great leadership that turns this type of uncertainty into clarity, making effective, high-stakes decisions under pressure.

But, according to The Global State of Strategy: Strategy Management Trends Report 2025 by Quantive, only 10% of business leaders say their organizations pivot quickly and effectively. FranklinCovey’s Disrupt Everything: Innovate for Impact course closes that gap.

“We’re honored to have worked closely with James and Patrick to create this course,” said Paul Walker, FranklinCovey CEO. “In every organization today, regardless of the industry, it isn’t disruption that’s the threat, rather it’s the resistance to it. With this course leaders will gain the clarity, confidence, and tools they need to innovate under pressure, move faster, and achieve their most important goals in today’s fast-changing world.”

James Patterson, co-author of Disrupt Everything and Win, said, “We’re excited to have partnered with FranklinCovey to create Disrupt Everything: Innovate for Impact. Disruption is hitting every industry faster than ever before, and it’s not slowing down. The truth is every organization, team and person needs to lean into that change and find ways to turn it into something positive.”

Disrupt Everything and Win: Take Control of Your Future

Disrupt Everything and Win: Take Control of Your Future

TORONTO (AP) — Schools were closed in Canada's largest city of Toronto and commuters faced severe delays on Thursday as heavy snow continued to hammer much of southern Ontario, blocking streets and forcing cars into ditches.

Environment Canada said regions including the Greater Toronto Area, Kitchener and Hamilton are expected to see up to 30 centimeters (12 inches) of snow into Thursday afternoon.

Toronto, York, Peel and Halton Region schools closed Thursday morning, and institutions including the University of Toronto, Toronto Metropolitan University and York University announced their campuses were closed.

Complete school closures due to snow are rare in Toronto.

Environment Canada said the Ottawa area will see up to 25 centimeters (10 inches) of snow, tapering off Thursday evening. It added that northerly wind gusts of up to 60 kilometers (37 milies) per hour will result in blowing snow and reduced visibility, and a sharp temperature drop will cause very cold wind chills.

Provincial police advised residents to stay off the roads if possible, and officers responded to dozens of collisions and cars in ditches. Police said there were multiple road closures across southern Ontario, including ramps at the Highway 403 near the Burlington and Hamilton border and parts of Highway 401 in eastern Ontario.

Both Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow cancelled public events Thursday due to the inclement weather.

At Toronto’s Pearson airport, officials said air traffic management procedures were in place and impacting some arriving and departing flights.

Travellers were advised to check their flight status before heading to the airport, where snow clearing operations were underway.
