Global Holistic Wealth Day is coming up on April 9th. The theme for this year is “Resilient Wealth in an Uncertain World”, and power literacy is a tool to help achieve resilient wealth. This podcast episode on power literacy is a timely contribution to Global Holistic Wealth Month in April. True resilience today comes from understanding and navigating systems of power, not just money. The ability to understand and navigate systems that shape wealth outcomes is critical. Holistic Wealth as well as the Holistic Wealth mindset are powerful frameworks to help create a life of balance, financial security, and emotional resilience.

What is Power Literacy?

Power literacy is the ability to recognize, understand, and navigate the invisible structures, dynamics, and impacts of power within organizations, institutions, relationships, and decision-making environments. This includes knowing how to navigate, advocate and position ideas within existing power structures and applying influence responsibly.

Power literacy is one tool needed for sustaining and protecting Holistic Wealth and to live a holistically wealthy lifestyle. Holistic Wealth encompasses the full architecture of human wellbeing and functions as a framework “mother concept”, of the overall philosophy of human flourishing. By aligning life’s key pillars—money, mindset, relationships, and physical health—Holistic Wealth empowers individuals to thrive at every stage of life. Holistic Wealth is an ecosystem – and power literacy is one of the tools needed to thrive within it.
