The Practical Wisdom Framework™️
Advance flourishing with every decision you make
Do you know what to do, when you don’t know what to do?
In a volatile world, reactive and emotional decision-making costs organizations dearly:
teams lose trust and interest
growth stagnates
people languish
Learn to leverage daily leadership challenges to promote flourishing.
The Practical Wisdom Group provides executive coaching and leadership team retreats that empower and equip you to deliberate well, navigate competing goods wisely, and operationalize your organization’s formative mission and vision - so you can thrive and flourish.
What is The Practical Wisdom Framework?
Rooted in Aristotelian philosophy, developmental psychology and leadership practice, the Practical Wisdom Framework™ (PWF) offers a dynamic model to cultivate phronesis—practical wisdom—in individuals, leadership teams and institutions.
PWF was developed by Dr. Karen Bohlin and has proved transformative as a tool for coaching, ethical decision-making, and organization-wide formation. Through her scholarship and leadership, Dr. Bohlin has shaped the PWF into a powerful guide for nurturing wise, virtuous action in real time and in context.
