The Power of TED* (*The Empowerment Dynamic) is a simple, engaging story with life-changing insights. TED* offers you inspiration and practical tools to improve relationships at work and home.
The Power of TED* offers a powerful alternative to the Karpman Drama Triangle with its roles of Victim, Persecutor, and Rescuer.

Central to the shift is a transformation in mindset from a Victim Orientation to a Creator Orientation. The book is illustrated to present essential models to the reader in a simple and accessible way.
The Power of TED* is a fable on personal leadership. This simple, friendly and engaging story conveys a meeting of three characters in a life-transforming conversation on a beach: the central character, David, a fellow named Ted (the embodiment of The Empowerment Dynamic), and Sophia who shares of her experience in making shift happen in her own life.

I not only find immediate usage with my individual clients, but find it valuably applicable to larger scale consulting engagements as well. I believe we will be hearing a lot more from Ted in the time ahead as it increasingly becomes a normative part of our…
Reading this book will transform your life I read The Power of TED at least 20 times over the past several years. It is one of the 5 books I keep on my desk at all times – that is saying a lot because I read a lot of books! I use the principles with my clients, and I use them in my life on a daily basis. One of my clients made a great statement. She said, “I knew about the drama triangle, but I never knew what to do to counteract it – now I do after reading this book.” If I could give 100 stars for this book, I would.
