Surviving and Thriving: For Women in Leadership and Moving out of Leadership Roles

This workshop is not scheduled for 2012.

The transition out of a leadership role can be painful and full of unexpected emotions that may surface months after leaving the position. This workshop, led by Lynn Levo, CSJ, Ph.D., draws on the experience of women who have weathered this transition and have gained valuable insights into the growth opportunities this particular kind of transition offers. Through presentations by clinicians, storytelling, ritual and sharing, participants will gain new insights into the dynamics of change and learn ways to anticipate and deal with the loss and opportunities of leave-taking.

The sessions, designed to be informative, practical and interactive, will include:

• moving from “CEO” to “O” - from “in the loop” to “out of the loop”
• dealing with feelings - yours and others
• being the lame duck and finishing your term
• negotiating with the new leaders
• changing relationships: good-byes and hellos
• designing your preferred future - both immediate and long term
• translating your experience into meaningful ministry

This workshop begins Monday evening and concludes Thursday at 4 p.m. The cost is $540 (US).
