We Are the New Radicals: A Manifesto for Reinventing Yourself and Saving the Worldby Julia Moulden
Paul Gillespie Consulting is proud to showcase this inspiring book, to which Paul contributed his perspectives and insights. The book is available as of January, 2008. Julia Moulden has been tracking a growing and powerful movement for a number of years: the vast majority of baby boomers who aren’t interested in traditional retirement, but are eager to do ‘good works’ instead. She calls this group the New Radicals. Julia’s book has several goals. First, to open a window onto the world of the New Radicals, to show what’s going on, and that it is possible to make a difference. To help emerging New Radicals see that others are thinking the same thoughts, and heading in similar directions. And to give New Radicals-in-the-making practical advice about how to reinvent their work at midlife. Above all, though, she hopes it will inspire you to reach for something new, something that might just help save the world. Julia Moulden is an award-winning writer. Since 1985, she has worked for a number of North America’s leading organizations, including AstraZeneca, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, and Ford Motor Company. As a speechwriter and executive coach, she helps leaders develop and express their vision. Julia’s first book was a bestseller about another emerging trend. Green is Gold (HarperBusiness), the first environmental management guide for business, was published in six countries. She has also written for a diverse range of publications, including Ms Magazine, the Globe and Mail, and Toronto Life.
One Child at a Time: the Global Fight to Rescue Children from Online Predatorsby Julian Sher
Paul Gillespie Consulting is proud to promote this groundbreaking book, which was published in April, 2007. The following is an excerpt: In their efforts to rescue the child victims of one of today’s most pervasive and insidious crimes, police must be creative, dogged and go well beyond the borders drawn on any map … Canadian cop Paul Gillespie changed the way that police around the world tackle Internet porn. He decided that if the system was broken, he was going to send an email to Bill Gates and ask for help. Gates not only answered, but Microsoft ended up kicking in millions of dollars, working with Gillespie’s team to develop the Child Exploitation Tracking System, a searchable database to track and investigate Web predators and their victims. It soon spread across Canada, and then to the UK, Australia and the U.S. Older men pretend to be young and caring, luring lonely young girls in chat rooms. But when they show up to meet their victim, they discover the FBI is waiting to arrest them. Emily Vacher, one of the FBI’s top Internet undercover operatives, specializes in trapping the predators at their own game of deception. The photos of the child’s abuse were everywhere on the Net, but no one knew who or where she was. In a frantic 36-hour hunt, using CSI-type sleuthing to find clues in the pictures, Canadian, American and European police rescued a girl from North Carolina. Jim Gamble, one of the most senior police officers in the UK, has spearheaded the creation of a Virtual Global Taskforce to patrol the web 24/7. It was time for a sheriff to tame the wild, wild Web, Gamble decided. Now children have a red “report abuse” button on chat room software and browsers they can click any time they feel threatened. It is time for the children’s stories – too often hidden in the dark corners of the Web – to be told. Their torment has been etched in their memories – and the memories of the police officers dedicated to rescuing them. It is what scars them. But it is also what spurs them on. Because they know behind every picture or video lies a little, frightened child. Detective Sergeant Paul Gillespie of the Toronto Police’s Exploited Child Unit can’t shake the lingering echoes of some of the worst videos he has seen of shackled children: “Sometimes,” he says, “you can hear the children cry.” One Child at a Time goes behind the headlines to show how law officers are fighting back against this tide of abuse, from daring rescues in homes to the seizures of millions of dollars in the offshore bank accounts of the porn merchants. In riveting detail, Julian Sher shows how clue by clue, and image by image, investigators are using cutting edge tools, turning the technology of the Internet against the perpetrators as they race to find and rescue the victims – children who otherwise have no voice. Julian Sher is the author of several bestselling books, including Until You Are Dead: Steven Truscott’s Long Ride into History. He has worked on investigative projects for the CBC, the Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star and the New York Times. His Web site, JournalismNet, is ranked by Google among the world’s top ten journalism portals. Julian Sher was recently interviewed on CBC Radio's The Current.
