SEATTLE, WA - When faced with challenges, many of us slip into familiar reactive roles: the helpless victim, the blaming persecutor, or the heroic rescuer. These roles form the Dreaded Drama Triangle, a destructive cycle first identified by Dr. Stephen Karpman in the 1960s. Today, Donna Zajonc champions a powerful alternative: TED* (*The Empowerment Dynamic)®, a framework developed by her business partner, David Emerald, Together, David and Donna co-founded the Center for The Empowerment Dynamic, where they continue to share this transformative work. With almost 25 years of professional coaching experience -- and sometimes called ?a coach's coach? -- Donna leads courses designed to teach coaches, HR professionals, and leaders how to break free from the drama cycle and embrace TED*. Instead of falling into reactive roles, TED* empowers individuals to shift into the more empowering TED* roles of Creator, Challenger, and Coach—offering a more constructive way to navigate both personal and professional challenges. Donna explains, ?The shift to TED* is a not a quick 'one and done', rather it is a journey. It requires self-awareness and an ongoing commitment to make more empowering choices.?
