A Webinar with Susan Beaumont

April 14, 2021 Leave a Comment

The Center for Leadership Excellence invites you to a free webinar on leading in a liminal season with Susan Beaumont…

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. Many of the practices associated with “good” leadership don’t work well in a liminal season, and casting a clear vision isn’t advisable when we can’t see the future with reasonable certainty. But leaders can still lead. 

How to Lead When You Don’t Know Where You Are Going
Session One: Negotiating a Liminal Season


Presented by the Center for Leadership Excellence
with Susan Beaumont
May 12, 10am-11am EST

Register for the Free Webinar

About the Free Webinar: 

Liminality refers to the quality of ambiguity or disorientation that occurs during transition, when a person or group of people is in between something that has ended and something else that is not yet ready to begin. During this session, we introduce liminality and explore the challenges and opportunities facing organizations in liminal space. We will explore this pandemic season as a liminal season requiring a unique leadership stance and a different body of leadership work.

About the Series:

Following the webinar, the Center for Leadership Excellence will host two further opportunities to learn from and engage with Susan Beaumont. Anyone who registers for one ($20) or both ($35) workshops will automatically receive details to watch the webinar.

  • May 19: Session 2, Engaging the Soulfulness of Institution, focuses on the soul as the authentic and truest self of the organization. In liminal seasons, we rely upon the soul of the institution to guide our leadership choices and our learning. This session explores spiritual shifts and practices that will help leaders connect with the soul of the institutions they lead.
  • May 26: Session 3, Coaxing Order out of Chaos, focuses on the period after a liminal season, when reorientation occurs. In this session, we will focus on inviting meaning making, finding new purpose, and fostering innovation.
