What Do We Mean by Power and Praxis?
Power is the embodied ability to hold responsibility, make aligned decisions, and show up with consistency and care. It is not just about authority, it is about how you manage what you influence and impact.
Praxis is embodied action rooted in reflection and values. It is how what you believe becomes what you do. Praxis is the bridge between knowing and living. It is the integration of awareness, ethics, and impact.
Together, Power and Praxis is a living process. It’s how you integrate knowledge, show up with clarity, and build containers that reflect who you are and how you serve.
