The Unfinished Series: A Journey Into Becoming
Becoming is not solitary — it is shared.
At the Shifting Waters Leadership Institute (SWLI), we believe true excellence begins within and flows outward into public brilliance. Transformation requires both the heart and the hard work of formation.
The Unfinished Series: A Journey Into Becoming is a guided six-part formation experience exploring identity, time, dreams, healing, truth, and connection.
Rooted in theology, psychology, and lived wisdom — each session invites you to slow down, listen inwardly, and rediscover what it means to lead from wholeness.
The Unfinished Series: The Collective Growth
A journey into the inner life of leadership.
Launching 2026
Formation is not a product — it is a becoming.
We live in a world that measures leaders by output, performance, and visibility — yet the deepest transformations happen long before anything is seen. At SWLI, we believe leadership is first an inward work: a formation of character, vision, and wholeness that flows outward into influence, responsibility, and service.
The Unfinished Self, the collective growth is a live, guided webinar series exploring the sacred work of becoming whole — spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, and relationally. Each session draws from theology, neuroscience, ethics, and lived experience to help leaders reclaim what is often lost in modern culture: depth, courage, meaning, and interior life.
Rather than rushing toward completion, this series invites participants to sit inside the unfinished places — not as deficits, but as fertile ground where God, grace, and growth take root. Over six months, we will explore identity, calling, time, healing, dreams, truth, and connection as pillars of whole-person leadership.
To preserve the integrity of the experience, each session is limited to 50 seats. This allows for guided reflection and meaningful participation rather than passive attendance.
This is not content consumption — this is formation.
Not self-improvement — but inner transformation.
Not arrival — but becoming.
As we prepare for launch in Spring 2026, we invite those who sense this calling — those longing for a deeper way of leading and living — to join us at the threshold of this journey.
If you desire to grow not just as a leader, but as a human being — whole, grounded, and spiritually formed — this series was created for you.
The Unfinished Series Webinars
Each webinar is a 60-minute reflective conversation designed to awaken curiosity and inner awareness — hosted by Grace A., with rotating SWLI facilitators.
All sessions are free and open to leaders, practitioners, and seekers of deeper growth.

The Bridge: Digging Deeper
After each webinar, participants are invited to go deeper through a Bridge Workshop — a guided, practice-based continuation that transforms awareness into application.
Each Bridge leads into our flagship formation pathway.
All workshops will have a set price, and pricing details will be provided.
Identity & Calling: uncovering the Who
The Unfinished Work — Identity & Becoming
Bridge after Webinar 1
When we recognize that unfinished places are not failure but formation, the natural next question becomes: Who am I becoming? And who is God shaping me to be beneath what others see?
For those who desire to deepen this inward becoming, we continue the journey in a guided space where identity is clarified and calling is rooted — our Identity & Calling: uncovering the Who Workshop.
Rule of Life
Living Between the Ticks — Time & Sacred Stewardship
Bridge after Webinar 2
Once we awaken to the reality that time is entrusted, not guaranteed, the invitation becomes learning to live by intention rather than reaction — by spiritual rhythm rather than urgency.
For those ready to align their inner priorities with their lived patterns, we step more deeply into a reflective practice space where desire, discipline, and spiritual cadence meet — our Rule of Life Workshop.
Purpose & Vocation
Seeds of Becoming — Dream, Trust & Discernment
Bridge after Webinar 3
When we learn that some dreams are not denied, but protected by divine timing, we are invited into the work of discernment — how to hold a dream without rushing it, and how to release it when God is reshaping it.
For those ready to listen beneath the surface and walk with their dreams more faithfully, we continue in a discernment circle that guides vision through maturation — our Purpose & Vocation Workshop.
Inner Formation
When the Soul Leaks — Healing & Inner Repair
Bridge after Webinar 4
When the soul signals that something within us needs tending, the invitation is not to tighten our grip, but to let God meet us where the fracture began.
For those who feel called to move beyond awareness into repair — into the slow work of integrating what has been wounded or numbed — we continue the journey in a deeper space of spiritual accompaniment through our Inner Formation Workshop.
The Cost of Ethical and Principled Leadership
From Comfort to Courage — Truth, Integrity & Moral Alignment
Bridge after Webinar 5
When we realize that meaning is not found in arrival, but in alignment — when our inner life and outward life finally tell the truth together — the next step is learning to live that integrity in practice.
For those ready to steward conviction as a way of life, and not merely belief, we continue in a guided space where character becomes embodied leadership — our The Cost of Ethical and Principled Leadership Workshop.
Relational & Emotional Formation
The Unfinished People — Communion, Belonging & Shared Becoming
Bridge after Webinar 6
When we return to the understanding that we are formed in relationship — not isolation — the invitation becomes stepping into community that is spiritually anchoring and emotionally honest.
For those who desire to grow alongside others in a rhythm of shared accountability and grace, we move into a relational formation space that matures connection into practice — our Relational & Emotional Formation Workshop, which also serves as the on-ramp to SWLI’s Accountability Circles.
The Shifting Waters Leadership Institute develops leaders who lead with wholeness, integrity, accountability, and purpose. Rooted in the belief that every person is made in the image of God—the Imago Dei—SWLI cultivates communities where leaders grow together and inspire lasting change.
