Sway Skills - November | Transitions in a Time of Pandemic: Uprooting and Planting

  • Sway Leadership Portland, OR 97214 USA (map)

Sway Leadership now brings you Sway Skills, a monthly webinar designed to connect and teach Sway’s leadership foundations. Not only, will you have the space to form connections with a community with other leaders, you will also receive tools to journey towards becoming a more empowered person in your company, home, and the world.

This month’s webinar will cover transitions in a time of Pandemic.

Fernando Serna, M. Div., BCC, has, for the past 40 years, engaged at the granular and macro level in the areas of spirituality, spiritual direction, education, leadership, and inter-religious dialogue. Fernando has lived these various experiences in two broad contexts. First, as a member of a monastic community for 30 years where he served as abbot for 14 of those years. Second, after transitioning to life as a married man, he has been serving as a hospital chaplain for the last 10 years.

Fernando places himself at the service of bringing compassion and quiet presence to places of brokenness, while celebrating emergencies of wisdom and vision in the lives of fellow humans.

These last two years of pandemic have presented many challenges to individuals, families, and those of us in the workplace. One of the deeper challenges has been the experience of transition, sometimes expected, but often not. We have been left feeling confused, disoriented and not well equipped to gracefully manage and work with transition in life and work.

In this teaching we will first bring a name and understanding to the many faces of our manifold experience of transition, then we will explore the possible treasure buried in the experience of uprootedness that transitions can bring upon us. Finally, we will see what “tools for the journey” we can bring with us as we meet other transitions that inevitably come our way in living an engaged life.

Together we will uncover the tools we can use as we meet the transitions of life that inevitably come our way.

How do you show up? Bring yourself, your lunch and come as you are. The second half of Sway Skills is devoted to live dialogue. We welcome you to interact.

  • Webinars are on the fourth Thursday of each month 12-1 PM PST.

  • Recordings of the teaching are available for those who register.
