Leading in a Liminal Season
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.

LIVE Sessions with Susan Beamount, online

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.
