Helping Pastors Thrive Fall 2020 Virtual Workshop: How to Lead When You Don’t Know Where You’re Going

Monday, October 5  |  9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (EDT)

Workshop led by Dr. Susan Beaumont
–Minister, Consultant, Coach, Spiritual Director & Author

Based on her book How to Lead When You Don’t Know Where You’re Going: Leading in a Liminal Season.

How do you lead a congregation 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? Beaumont calls such in-between times 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.
