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. The Empowerment Dynamic (TED) provides the antidote roles of Creator, Challenger and Coach to the toxic relationship dynamics of the drama triangle and describes how to make the shift happen between them. 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.

    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.
