Universal Power: Configurative and Emergent: Thought Leader Webinar February 2026
2026-02-19 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Denver) | https://rightuseofpower.org/event/universal-power-configurative-and-emergent-thought-leader-webinar-february-2026/
Universal Power: Configurative and Emergent
Universal Power is the newest type of power that Right Use of Power Institute has been exploring. How do we talk about Universal Power–power that is both all-inclusive and beyond our human capacity to understand?
An interesting distinction that we are making is between the emergent experience of Universal Power coming through us and all creation, and the configurative experience of Universal Power, which is felt outside of us, shaping and influencing us within the largest possible context.
This distinction between ‘configurative’ and ‘emergent’ is particularly useful in understanding how Universal Power intersects with systemic power and collective power, role and status power, and of course personal power.
Let’s talk about it together. This program is an introduction to these concepts and also to our exciting upcoming online course for spiritual leadership.

Basics Training in Finland - Friday, May 22, 2026
2026-05-22 09:00 - 16:00 (Europe/Helsinki) | Helsinki, Finland, Yliopistonkatu 5, Helsinki, Finland
Right Use of Power Basics -työpaja
Viidettä kertaa Suomessa ja suomeksi
Tule mukaan ja tutustu Right Use of Power ™ -ajattelun perusteisiin

Right Use of Power™ on dynaaminen, inspiroiva ja valtasuhteita tarkasteleva lähestymistapa. RUP-ajattelulla pyritään tukemaan hyvinvointia ja toimivia ihmissuhteita sekä vahvistamaan tietoisempaa suhdetta valtaan ja eettiseen vaikuttamiseen. Tutkimme yhdessä sitä, miten voimme navigoida kaiken valtaan liittyvän dynamiikan keskellä ja käyttää sekä vaikutusvaltaamme että sydäntämme.
Right Use of Power -koulutukset ovat syväsukelluksia käytännön etiikkaan. Pyrimme lisäämään niin tietoisuutta kuin myös taitoja ja tunnistamaan sen, miten monitahoinen asia valta ja valtasuhteet ovat.
Right Use of Power -lähestymistavassa eettisyyttä tarkastellaan sisäisenä kompassina – ei ulkoa sisään päin tulevana koodistona.
Basics -ohjelma on yksipäiväinen työpaja, jossa on mukana sekä teoriaa että keskusteluja ja harjoituksia. Opit tunnistamaan viisi vallan lajia sekä syvennät tietoisuuttasi omasta henkilökohtaisesta vallastasi sekä siitä, miten vaikutat toisiin.
Coachit Huom! ICF:n CCEU pisteitä tästä koulutuksesta saa neljä (Core Competencies / Ethics). Muistathan merkitä toiveen todistuksesta jo rekisteröityessäsi.
Basics-koulutukseen osallistuminen mahdollistaa jatkon muihin Right Use of Power Instituutin koulutuksiin (Core Training, Certified Facilitator Training, Power and Equity Challenge).
Suomessa toteutettavalla koulutuksella kerätään varoja Right Use of Power Instituutin toimintaan. Toivomme osallistujien valitsevan korkeimman hintatason: USD 275.

Sinä voit kuitenkin vapaasti tehdä myös muun valinnan oman maksukykysi mukaan, ja halutessasi toki tehdä myös lisälahjoituksen.
Aika: Perjantai 22.5.2026 klo 9-16

Facilitator: Sari Ajanko

Leadership Coach | RUPI Faculty Member
I’m a leadership coach based in Helsinki, Finland, where I live with my Canadian husband.
My journey with Right Use of Power began during my Hakomi studies, when Cedar’s book immediately resonated with me. As a leader, the concept of empowerment had always carried deep meaning, and I knew instantly that this framework held something essential.
Though I once dreamed of attending the trainings in Colorado, it wasn’t until the pandemic that the opportunity opened up—an introductory workshop online. Since that first experience, I’ve attended nearly every RUPI training available, many more than once. This path led me to become a facilitator, associate teacher, and board member.
The ongoing journey of power-consciousness has been deeply transformational. Right Use of Power offered a missing piece in my professional life, especially as I reflected on my years in leadership. Understanding my own power more clearly has not only brought insight—it has changed the way I am.
The RUPI framework brings language and clarity to conversations that are often overlooked. I’m committed to making power-consciousness accessible across professions, especially supporting leaders in using their power wisely and ethically.
I’m honored to contribute as part of the RUPI faculty and Mission Circle.

Let’s talk about power! I’m Dr. Amanda Aguilera, and I support individuals and organizations in navigating the dynamics of power that shape our lives, our work, and our relationships. As the Executive Director of the Right Use of Power Institute, I advocate for a world where we participate in power in ways that bring us closer to right relationship. I believe we often lose connection to ourselves and others when striving for perfection—when we are trying to fit into systems instead of cultivating belonging within ourselves. Whether I’m speaking on a stage, working 1:1 as a power-conscious guide, leading the Right Use of Power Institute, or sharing the framework in my new book, Shaping Power for Good: Wayfinding to Right Relationship, my mission is to move us toward more authentic connection.

HR professionals sit at the centre of some of the most complex and high-stakes human dynamics in organizations.

Whether working in recruitment, employee relations, organizational development, learning and development, compensation, workplace investigations, or people and culture functions, HR professionals are regularly navigating situations involving conflict, performance concerns, interpersonal tension, organizational change, and sensitive interpersonal issues.
At the same time, they are often balancing competing priorities: supporting employees, advising leaders, ensuring compliance, protecting organizational integrity, and maintaining trust across all levels of the system. This work frequently happens in environments shaped by pressure, ambiguity, emotional intensity, and competing expectations.
In these environments, the right use of power matters deeply.
Every policy, process, conversation, and decision in HR carries influence. Whether it is intended or not, HR professionals are constantly engaging with power – how it is held, how it is used, how it is perceived, and how it impacts trust, safety, and accountability in the workplace.
Right Use of Power™ is a dynamic, relational, and practical approach to the ethical use of power to promote well-being, the common good, and right relationship. It offers a shared language and framework for understanding and navigating power with both strength and care.

Join us for a full-day, engaging, and hands-on learning experience designed to deepen your understanding of power in organizational life and strengthen your ability to navigate the human dynamics at the heart of HR work.
Empowering, relevant, and practical, this program is delivered through engaging presentations, facilitated discussions, and experiential learning practices that connect directly to real workplace situations.

Understand the five types of power and how they operate in organizations, including how they show up in HR systems, policies, employee relations, leadership decisions, and workplace culture.

I’ve had the privilege of supporting leaders at TC Energy, the City of Calgary and the Calgary Fire Department, Electronic Arts, Bayer, Hull Services, and other mission-driven organizations across sectors.

My approach is grounded in the Right Use of Power, deep coaching practice, and over a decade of work in addiction and mental health, where clarity, compassion, and accountability are non-negotiable.

Book Tour Stop: Right Use of Power for Leaders
2026-09-17 09:00 - 16:00 (America/Denver) | Sunalta Community Hall, 1627 10 Ave SW, Calgary, AB T3C 0J7, Canada
Nonprofit leaders carry immense responsibility.
Whether leading organizations, managing teams, overseeing programs, stewarding donor relationships, engaging communities, or navigating complex stakeholder dynamics, leaders in the social impact sector are constantly balancing competing priorities and difficult decisions.
They are expected to care deeply about people while delivering results. To navigate scarce resources while meeting growing needs. To support staff through burnout, uncertainty, and change while remaining accountable to boards, funders, and the communities they serve.
In these environments, the use of power matters deeply.
Every decision, conversation, policy, and leadership action has the potential to build trust, strengthen relationships, and create positive impact – or unintentionally cause harm.
The Right Use of Power™ is a dynamic, inspiring, and relational approach to the ethical use of power to promote well-being, the common good, and right relationship. It offers a practical language and framework for understanding and navigating power with strength AND heart.
Right Use of Power™ programs focus on increasing awareness, skillfulness, and engagement in the use of power. Leaders learn to recognize the influence they hold, understand the impacts of their decisions and actions, and develop practices that foster accountability, trust, and empowerment.
It is ethics from the inside out.
This in-person training in Calgary is brought to you in collaboration with the Nonprofit Chamber, the Right Use of Power Institute, All Thrive, and the team at The Ally Co.
Join us for a full-day, engaging, and hands-on learning experience to deepen your understanding of power and strengthen your capacity to lead with integrity, courage, and compassion.
Empowering, relevant, and dynamic, this program is presented through engaging presentations, facilitated discussions, experiential practices, and opportunities to connect with fellow nonprofit leaders facing similar challenges.

Who is this training for?

Participants often include:

Lineup

Dr. Amanda Aguilera
Let’s talk about power! I’m Dr. Amanda Aguilera, and I support individuals and organizations in navigating the dynamics of power that shape our lives, our work, and our relationships. As the Executive Director of the Right Use of Power Institute, I advocate for a world where we participate in power in ways that bring us closer to right relationship. I believe we often lose connection to ourselves and others when striving for perfection—when we are trying to fit into systems instead of cultivating belonging within ourselves. Whether I’m speaking on a stage, working 1:1 as a power-conscious guide, leading the Right Use of Power Institute, or sharing the framework in my new book, Shaping Power for Good: Wayfinding to Right Relationship, my mission is to move us toward more authentic connection.

Power-Conscious Authentic Leadership (PCAL) - Oct 7 - Dec 16
2026-10-07 12:00 - 14:00 (America/Denver) | https://rightuseofpower.org/event/pcal-oct-7-2026/
–A 12-week online training synthesizing Authentic Leadership and Right Use of Power concepts and practices for leaders of teams, organizations and communities. The program consists of six 2-hour classes and four 1.5-hour integration/coaching sessions.
Authentic Leadership encourages leaders to bring themselves fully and creatively to their leadership challenges and to invite others to do the same. Becoming an authentic leader involves expanding self-awareness and presence, cultivating good communication skills and leading with both vulnerability and courage. However, power dynamics can sometimes derail leaders’ best intentions and create awkward moments that erode trust.
Integrating Right Use of PowerTM concepts and practices into your leadership approach will strengthen your ability to lead with integrity and empathy by enhancing access to your personal power and acknowledging the impact that role and status power have in all of our interactions.
We will explore the 5 types of power in the context of Authentic Leadership—helping you understand the power you have and how to wield it skillfully with empathy and compassion. This is particularly important in diverse work environments in which power is distributed unevenly in society, and yet we seek to create inclusive workplaces.
The 6 bi-monthly, 2-hour class sessions will include community-building, lecture, dialogue, small-group interaction, self-reflection and embodiment exercises.
In addition, there will also be four 1.5 hr coaching sessions with the facilitators to explore specific leadership challenges and receive personalized coaching. All coaching sessions are open to everyone, although only 2 are required for course completion.
Learning Outcomes:

Understand the role of authenticity in cultivating trust and engagement in the workplace
Understand how the “Right Use of Power” can enhance one’s ability to lead with integrity and heart
Learn and apply the 3 core competencies of Authentic Leadership
Explore the 5 types of power and how they influence leadership roles
Increase self-awareness, credibility and leadership impact using a variety of methods
Discuss how to effectively bring these skills into the workplace
