A Liminal Space is the pause between what was and what will be, where we transform the energy of tech work.

Join Elisabeth Root and Jon Guidroz in a series of insightful conversations that inspire new ways of being and leading in tech.

You’ll be supported by one another as you share what you didn’t know you could share with people in this industry. You’ll tap into grounding practices (breathwork, somatic experience, insight meditation, etc) and readings from various thought leaders on the topic of work.

Each quarter we launch a new monthly call series, in three separate calls across three months we dive into a supported conversation that emboldens people to become the change they are waiting for in tech

We challenge you to intentionally pause to shift your energy. One hour per month, in the middle of the week, in the middle of the day.

Fall cohort: 10/16, 11/13, 12/18
Winter cohort: 1/15, 2/12, 3/12

Conversations are guided by Elisabeth Root and Jon Guidroz long time ”big tech” colleagues who each believe that holistic wellness and purposeful tech innovation are inextricably linked.

Elisabeth is a former GTM Partnerships leader turned Advisor and Leadership Coach who draws on her deep experience in technology, coaching and the healing arts to guide conversations that embolden a new kind of leadership.

Jon is a long time cloud and sustainability executive who shares his experience in a personal transformation that’s guided him to more meaning in his leadership career.

A sneak peak - how we frame up the conversation

  • Catalyst - What are the experiences that have created a vision of new possibilities? What were the signals?

  • Experimentation - How do we support one another to take action on curiosity? How do we experience the unknown parts? How often do we rush to the outcome?

  • Clarity -  How open are we to allow change without judgment? What are the mindset, physical and spiritual practices that keep us open (rather than tensed?)

    Liminal Space participants are here to build a community that lasts. You’ll be able to keep the conversation going via a private whatsapp channel in between sessions and and after your cohort series ends.

    • How do I join? Click the button to apply for the next cohort. We refresh the cohort each quarter with a new theme and new enrollment.

    • Why is there an application? Space is limited and participants must agree in writing to their participation and confidentiality.

    • How big is the group? We'll try to keep the calls under 10 and will split off into breakouts for smaller discussions. As the community grows our call structure will evolve.

    • Can I really get real with you people? Yes! This is a safe space. Participants must commit to all three calls and agree to confidentiality. We leverage common standards of group workshop to allow space for everyone to share.

    • What kind of content is there? This is not a class or workshop, it's a guided conversation anchored by a thought or a prompt. We leverage the writings and materials of contemplative leaders from different disciplines. Examples include: David Whyte’s Conversational Leadership, The Conscious Leadership Group, Yung Pueblo, Scott Shute, Mary Oliver....

    • How much will it cost? We ask for a suggested donation of $30/quarter. Upon acceptance you'll receive a calendar invite and donation link.
