What is Right Use of Power ™
Right Use of Power™ is a dynamic way to explore issues of ethics and power, both personal and professional. This study can be profoundly restorative and empowering. This approach brings heart and soul to ethics, and builds sensitivity and awareness to the use of power and influence.
Your good intentions are your foundation. Skills, sensitivity, and concepts build on this foundation. New research is helping us understand more about the corrupting nature of power. The Right Use of Power™ program includes material about the power paradox and the neurobiology of high power that lead to the gifts and opportunities of high power roles and also to the perils and blind spots of power. You will increase your power-wisdom and learn how to amplify the gifts of power and mitigate the perils.
The power spiral model is at the heart of Right Use of Power™. Increasing skillfulness is learned through a spiraling process of gaining understanding and awareness at higher and higher levels of complexity, inclusivity, and transcendence. As you gain the knowledge and skills you need to use your power wisely, you’ll explore and engage with these four dimensions of the spiral

Be Informed & Present
Ethics, in its greatest context, is the practice of the right use of power in all relationships. Here, you'll learn about the inherent dynamics that accompany relationships where there is a role power difference - the potential for good, the responsibilities, the distortions, the vulnerability, and risk for harm. You’ll learn to gather the guidance you need for right use of power actions - from the people you are with, your internal felt sense and intuition, and from the lived history of your service profession in the form of ethical codes or guidelines. |
Be Compassionate & Aware The focus of this dimension is self and self-awareness. You’ll come to understand and learn from your attitudes, beliefs, wounds and habits in relation to issues of power and authority. You’ll explore your empowered and disempowered self and discover how your use of power and influence affects others. You’ll reflect on examples of misuses of power and work with understanding and healing shame, an isolating and disempowering emotion. You will bring mindfulness and presence to your responses and learn how to live in the power zone.
