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.? Her work, rooted in her book Who Do You Want to Be on the Way to What You Want, empowers coaches to help others transform their lives by embracing TED* roles.

San Diego, CA - LEANwRIGHT, Inc., an award-winning firm specializing in Lean Six Sigma Training and Business Management Consulting, helps medium to large-sized companies address critical challenges they face managing inventory efficiently. Jerry M. Wright, a seasoned industry expert and the founder of LEANwRIGHT, Inc., highlights significant flaws in the traditional approach to MRP. Established in 2013, LEANwRIGHT, Inc. is known for its transformational Lean Six Sigma training programs. While Lean Six Sigma is widely known for its rigorous, continuous improvement philosophy and structured belt system (White, Yellow, Green, and Black Belts), Jerry believes the firm's true strength lies in practical business applications rather than just theoretical knowledge. At LEANwRIGHT, the objective is to alleviate frustrations that supply chain and inventory professionals face. Wright paints a vivid picture of this workplace stress, from long hours and job dissatisfaction to being unfairly blamed for systemic issues beyond their control. One of the core messages in Wright's newly released book, ?The Insanity Trap: What Your MRP Consultant Won't Tell You? is the necessity of moving away from speculative forecasting. Instead, inventory management should rely on actual orders and demand signals. Wright shares an analogy involving AI and flipping coins to illustrate how even the most sophisticated forecasting tools fall short in providing exact predictions. ?Our business management consulting service isn't just about reducing costs. It's about making life better for employees and optimizing overall business performance,? concludes Wright. For more information about Jerry Wright, please visit https://LEANwRIGHT.com/
