How Praxis works

Start with the situation—not a prepackaged answer.

Every engagement is tailored to the client and scope, while following a disciplined path from ambiguity to action.

Frame

Define the real question, intended outcome, assumptions, constraints, and decision context.

Understand

Review relevant evidence, artifacts, and stakeholder perspectives with care, precision, and respect for confidentiality.

Diagnose

Separate causes from symptoms, test what changed, and make risks and tradeoffs explicit.

Act

Translate the assessment into priorities, recommendations, ownership, and a credible path forward.

What clients gain

Clarity that can hold up under pressure.

The moments that matter most rarely come with an obvious answer. Praxis combines real-world operating experience with a coaching and development approach that helps people see what matters, work through difficult choices, and move forward with confidence.

About our founder

Experience built where strategy meets execution.

Richard Chirdo brings more than two decades of MedTech experience leading complex projects, advancing product development and quality systems, scaling operations, guiding organizational change, and coaching leaders and teams through growth.

That perspective helps Praxis see the full operating system around a challenge—not just the most visible symptom—and translate it into clear, practical action.

Meet Richard and explore the Praxis approach

When what worked before is no longer enough, we can start by making sense of what has changed, what is getting in the way, and what the situation now requires.

You do not need to have the problem neatly defined before reaching out. Start with what you know and what feels unclear or stuck. We can talk it through and decide whether Praxis can help.
