Event Details
Right Use of Power™ is at the very heart of ethics. We long for, and are capable of, magnificence in the use of our personal and professional power. And we have all been wounded by misuses of power. The Right Use of Power™ approach to ethics is dynamic and engaging and recognizes that the issues of power in helping relationships are complex. Linking power with heart, this program focuses on increasing skillfulness, engagement, and awareness. It is ethics from the inside out.
Our Core Training is a live, online learning experience for people of all helping professions. Empowering, relevant, and dynamic, our program is presented through engaging talks, facilitated discussions, and experiential practices.
In our Core Training, you will:
- Stay in your heart while standing in your strength.
- Learn about your power style and power parameters
- Practice simple processes for resolving conflict and repairing relationships.
- Learn to handle challenging interactions when there is a power difference.
- De-activate the power barriers that stand in your way.
- Develop essential skills for using power with ethical wisdom and skill.
After our trainings, participants have said they can now:
- Lean in to conflict with more skill.
- Be more ethically proactive around power dynamics.
- See the positive potential of down-power roles.
- Be more aware of the shadow aspects of power.
- Understand that power differentials serve a valuable purpose.
- Use the “four dimensions of power” in so many situations.
- Own their power, both personal and professional, and embrace it with a full “yes!”

RUPI Teacher Trainees also receive membership to our RUPI Teachers Guild which offers ongoing teacher development, guild conferences and events, and a community of RUPI teachers worldwide.

Power is everywhere and yet seldom talked about or taught.
Right Use of Power is a large body of topics, concepts, experiential practices that have been integrated from many sources. In our programs, you will be learning to both use and teach conscious ethics and power with heart—core tenets in an alternative operating system for power that we call “Socially Conscious Power.” This approach is a large and evolving orientation and set of information and embodied practices that are applicable and adaptable for many groups and many issues.
The Right Use of Power Teacher Training is not a certification or licensing program. At the completion of the Teacher Training you can use concepts, handouts, written materials, and exercises you have been given to share information or to design and deliver programs about Right Use of Power. Our expectation is that you will feel confident, resourced, and well-supported in offering concrete modules and then more and more extensive programs as you grow in your confidence and understanding of and experience with the concepts and practices. If you find that you wish to teach the entire core curriculum, as delivered, you can follow a more extensive learning path that includes working with a Core Faculty member who can mentor and/or co-teach with you.
At the end of the training, you will also be given an opportunity to choose how you wish to stay connected with RUP and RUPInstitute. Through the free or Power Positive membership you may call yourself an Independent Teacher and have access to on-going learning opportunities and community connections. If you choose the Guild Teacher membership, you will, in addition, have access to our extensive resource library, membership in Focus Groups, and continuing and advanced programs. And you will be authorized to call yourself an Affiliated Teacher and use the Affiliated Teacher seal. Please see more information about membership levels at the website. Regardless of the level of membership you choose, we both trust and entrust you to freely use the materials and move at your own pace in sharing the concepts and processes. Our desire is that you will feel confident, resourced, and well-supported in moving at your own pace in whatever level of involvement you choose.
We invite you to ask for a conversation with Dr. Barstow or other Core Faculty, if you have questions or want more information than is provided here, please email us at training@rightuseofpower.org
People who have taken this training report:
- “I now have so much more confidence about how so many aspects of teaching—experiential work in person and virtually, how to present concepts simply and effectively, how to engage with participants, how to pace learning, and how to address multiple learning styles.”
- “Wow. Feedback became both an art and a relationship-builder instead of something to be feared.”
- “This RUP material and the experientials fill in a gap about understanding power that I didn’t even know needed filling.”
- “I see now how power is somewhere in virtually everything and yet, so under-acknowledged.”
- “I can now be a cheerleader for the possibility and practicality of power being used wisely, consciously, and well.”
- “The teachers walk their talk.”
- “I’m much better at being decisive, yet warm, and clear and concise as a teacher.”
- “This training is incredibly important everywhere in my life, not just in teaching right use of power”

Right Use of Power™ is at the very heart of ethics. We long for, and are capable of, magnificence in the use of our personal and professional power. And we have all been wounded by misuses of power. The Right Use of Power™ approach to ethics is dynamic and engaging and recognizes that the issues of power in helping relationships are complex. Linking power with heart, this program focuses on increasing skillfulness, engagement, and awareness. It is ethics from the inside out.
Our Core & Teacher Training is a live fully-immersive 9-month training, online learning experience for people of all helping professions. Empowering, relevant, and dynamic, our program is presented through engaging talks, facilitated discussions, and experiential practices. Participant relationships are enhanced through small group time in Connecting Rooms (Zoom breakout rooms).
The Teacher Training has four parts that combine to give you the skills, confidence, resources and collegial support to begin teaching your own right use of power programs and developing your power-wisdom.
Our teacher trainers learn how to TEACH right use of power™ to others and receive ongoing training, mentorship, and full access to all RUPI resources and materials. RUPI Teacher Trainees also receive membership to our RUPI Teachers Guild which offers ongoing teacher development, guild conferences and events, and a community of RUPI teachers worldwide.
Total Program Includes
- 35 total direct training hours (whole group training, small groups, & individual mentoring)
