Escape the grip of drama and take control of your life.
The Power of TED* (*The Empowerment Dynamic) is a fable on self-leadership, because how you lead your own life has everything to do with how you lead in other areas. It is a tool for both individuals and organizations who want to create more effective communication and relationships. Learning how to transform everyday drama and opt for more growth-oriented solutions, is the priceless gift it teaches.
As you walk with David, the main character, he shares how he is feeling victimized by life. Through serendipity he meets some wise guides, Ted and Sophia, who show David how he can move from feeling like a victim to being a creator of his own life.
The Power of TED* offers a powerful alternative to the Karpman Drama Triangle with its roles of victim, persecutor, and rescuer. The Empowerment Dynamic (TED) provides the antidote roles of creator, challenger, and coach – and a more positive approach to life’s challenges.
The teaching story provides a guide for learning and growing through the challenges we all face in our lives. Its message resonates with everyone who, at some time in their lives, feel victimized by their situation.
Having helped thousands of people and scores of organizations over the past decade, The Power of TED* (*The Empowerment Dynamic) is being published in this 10th Anniversary Edition to convey a very timely message of hope that all of life, whether at home or work, can be transformed to create satisfying and fulfilling relationships.
Its message is needed now more than ever.
The 10th Anniversary Edition retains the powerful leadership story and adds three new sections:
1. A new Foreword by Lisa Lahey, Ed D, Harvard Graduate School of Education
2. New Study Questions for the Journey
3. A new Preface by the Author
Create your Identity, Actions, and Feelings A parabolic look at how changing one’s thinking can change one’s life. Clever and pointed but supported by simple ideas for implementation.
Absolutely life-changing. I’m not a person who typically identifies with a victim mindset, BUT I definitely have those problems that I can’t ever seem to get out from under them. Regardless of what I do, they seem to go away for a while, but then always come back. THIS BOOK CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT. Told in a parable-style story, it’s an easy and enjoyable read. I can’t recommend this book enough…. wish I could give it 10 stars!!!
thinking bad things are always happening to you This book completely changed my way of thinking. It’s not that I had the “victim” mentality all of the time, but we all have our days, right? Reading this made me feel empowered (what a concept, right?) and confident that I could take on whatever was thrown my way. Life is all about how you view it. You can either be a victim; thinking bad things are always happening to you, that people are always against you. Or, you can be a creator; and look at “obstacles” as opportunities or…
