I work with a lot of organizations who are in the midst of change initiatives and looking for help about how to succeed, but it is rare that anyone talks about the need for a relationship to liminality, acknowledging the challenges inherent to transitioning. I'm really impressed this so clearly on your radar, one of your pillars for Tilt the Future. And the Richard Rohr quote is such an eloquent bulls-eye. "If we don’t encounter liminal space in our lives, we start idealizing normalcy."
Thank you for sharing my writing and for putting together this piece 🙏 a lot of people are finding themselves in this liminality right now and as you know, it can be scary and exciting!
Also as a side note, I always love how you think of time spanning generations and centuries. I find myself stretching my own imagination to 100 years old, and what a difference that makes!
My favourite topic, though not just limited to work spaces. I see students who I used to work with at university also in liminal spaces: transitioning from highschool to university, from working to studying, from undergraduate to postgraduate.
When I entered an intentional mid-career transition, there was no playbook. I learned a lot from a few key conversations with other who had walked the path, but also had to spend a lot of time thinking about how to intentionally pivot. I'm really interested in supporting others on that journey - really keen to see more writing and resources in this space!

Thanks for including me Karena!
I think the most interesting thing about liminal spaces is that it's hard to realize that you're in one, at the time.
What a pleasant surprise to be mentioned in this Karena, thank you! It really helps to know that I'm not alone during these turbulent times.
