Susan Beaumont - How to Lead When You Don't Know Where You're Going

Dear Ones,

We are very pleased to announce that registration is open for this STELLAR opportunity with Susan Beamount. Space is limited to 50 participants, jump to it! How to Lead When You Don’t Know Where You’re Going

EVENT DETAILS

  • Friday Mornings March 5, 12, 19, 26 2021

  • 10:30am-12:30pm PT/ 11:30am-1:30pm MT

  • LIVE Sessions with Susan Beamount, online

  • $100 inclusive

How do you lead an organization stuck between an ending and a new beginning—when the old way of doing things no longer works but a way forward is not yet clear? Such in-between times are called liminal seasons—threshold times when the continuity of tradition disintegrates and uncertainty about the future fuels doubt and chaos. In a liminal season it simply is not helpful to pretend we understand what needs to happen next. But leaders can still lead. Liminal seasons call for a different kind of leadership presence, one that connects the soul of leaders with the soul of the institution.

How are the sessions designed?

Each Friday before engaging with Susan Beaumont for a one-hour LIVE video conference, we’ll watch a pre-recorded webinar presented by Susan, and complete an assigned exercise/reflection. Some of these assignments will be individual reflections. Others will encourage you to facilitate a group dialogue among leaders in your local setting. The live session times with Susan include guided prayer/meditation, small group breakouts and large group Q & A.

A taste of faith and relationship, bringing you close to Spirit, as Spirit comes close to you

Today marks the beginning of Terra Madre, an international initiative of the Slow Food movement, a season of celebration of the earth, the foods, the practices, and the soil of our places on the planet.  

As we come to the end of the season of Creation liturgically, I encourage you to continue to give thanks for Terra Madre and all that comes from and returns to her.  

In the coming season may our offering from LeaderShift be a taste of faith and relationship that brings you close to Spirit as Spirit comes close to you.   

 Happy and blessed Thanksgiving

Psalm for Terra Madre 

Taste and see that God is good. 
Ps 34:8

My small knife slips  
between  
the green yellow skin  
and the firm white flesh  
of the winter pear, the Anjou - 

Everything comes back to You - 
all lettuce spinach kale potato  
all apple pear plum and cherry 
every almond walnut onion 
each tomato. basil leaf and  
garlic clove. 
everything of You. 

Cool sweet juice drips to the counter - O, 
Does your mouth swim in anticipation?. 

cilantro. peach. 
avocado, mango, wild  
spring  
Salmon, and the virgin 
olive oil 
and Salt. and  
Water. Everything begins in You. 

Would we hurt You less 

if we tasted more? 

 What if you, too, 

still  

would slowly taste? And see.
