Experiencing The Power of TED*
September 21-22, 2007: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
Whether you are a coach, human resources professional, or leader seeking greater personal and interpersonal effectiveness, odds are that you are all too familiar with what psychologist Stephen Karpman, MD, christened as the Drama Triangle, and TED* renamed The Dreaded Drama Triangle (DDT), with its Victim-Persecutor-Rescuer roles.
The DDT is an insidious dynamic that poisons relationships and group dynamics – even entire organizational cultures - resulting in an endless cycle of blame-shifting, frustration, and resentment. That translates into time and energy draining interactions that do little to foster healthy, outcome-oriented relationships that are conducive to creative, fulfilling and innovative dynamics and environments.
Wouldn’t it be great if there were concrete steps you could take to halt and transform the DDT cycle?
Enter *The Empowerment Dynamic (TED*). TED* provides clearly articulated alternatives to each of the positions in the dreaded drama triangle. This powerful new model was introduced in The Power of TED*. Wouldn’t it be great if our relationships – in work and the whole of our lives – routinely brought out the best in everyone, even when things go wrong?
What people are saying about The Power of TED*
"The Empowerment Triangle is a highly original and effective escape from the Drama Triangle."
Stephen Karpman, M.D., originator of the Karpman Drama Triangle
Bob Nikkel, MSW, Director of Mental Health & Addiction Services, State of Oregon
"The Power of TED* provides a wonderful, effective, enjoyable tool to create a shared perspective and positive way to solve problems and to work together as a high performance team. I truly believe that literally thousands of patients and our entire staff will live a better life because of this short, simple, yet profound book!"
Scott Conard, MD, President of Medical Affairs, MedicalEdge
A Powerful Team of Facilitators Brings You the Experience of The Power of TED*
Now, David teams with psychologist and coach, Bert Parlee, Ph.D., and Master Certified Coach, Molly Gordon, to present a special premiere offering of this two-day seminar: “Experiencing The Power of TED*.
David “Emerald” Womeldorff has nearly 30 years of experience in building collaboration between individuals and within teams and organizations as an executive coach and leadership development professional. He is co-founder of the Bainbridge Leadership Center. David is known for taking concepts and making them easily accessible and applicable in practical ways.
Molly Gordon, president of Shaboom Inc., Life could be a dream..., is known for her irreverent, intelligent, and compassionate approach to personal and professional transformation. A Master Certified Coach, avid cyclist, grand-mother, and former fiber artist, Molly facilitates with lightness and laser-like inquiry.
Bert Parlee is founding partner Integral Development Associates, and an executive coach with the Stagen Leadership Institute. He is also a clinical psychologist, leadership facilitator, and a personal life coach. Bert is passionate about adult learning in all its dimensions and, in particular, how Integral Inquiry reveals the mysteries of paradox that are elicited by exploring opposites.
The Empowerment Dynamic goes beyond assessments and feel-good exercises. TED* offers concrete, replicable tools and techniques for coaching individuals and groups away from destructive cycles of blame, resentment, and denial toward creativity, mutual support, and high performance.
TED*’s powerful alternatives to the victim-persecutor-rescuer triad relieve the frustration of knowing what’s wrong but not knowing how to change. Instead of merely diagnosing trouble spots, TED*’s creator-coach-challenger model engages participants by offering a vivid and appealing alternative to chronic interpersonal conflicts.
Through the methods you will learn in this workshop, you will be able to:
- Elicit creative and pro-active solutions from a person who has been trapped in a victim role, thereby helping to empower them to create outcomes and results in their lives and work.
- Develop coaching strengths latent in the rescuer role so that problems are identified and resolved before they result in resentment and burn out.
- Transform the negative energy of the persecutor style into impassioned leadership and caring connection for the growth and development of others.
In two days of intense interaction, you will:
- Explore your personal patterns of drama and empowerment.
- Coach and be coached using the principles of TED*.
- Add powerful, practical techniques to your change management toolkit.
- Observe TED* at work in individual and group settings.
- Learn from colleagues who share your commitment to methods that work beneath the surface for long term gains.
Each participant will receive a copy of the first ever edition of The TED* Handbook, including narrative materials and dozens of exercises in addition to what will be covered during the seminar.
As a participant, you will receive membership in a private, interactive, web-based forum where you can discuss, question, and brainstorm the application of TED* to your life and work in the months following the workshop.
This is the only time this workshop will be offered this year, and the fee for future workshops will be increased substantially. In addition, this workshop is restricted to 50 participants. (Due to the widespread applicability of this material, we anticipate that future workshops will be larger.) If you are intrigued by the potential of TED* to empower your clients, team members, or employees, we encourage you to enroll today.
And if you register for the premium package (see chart below), you will be invited to three monthly teleconferences with the workshop leaders. During these telecons, David, Bert, and Molly will be available to answer questions and facilitate application of TED* to your real-time, real-life needs.
