- How TED* (*The Empowerment Dynamic) TM and its roles of Creator, Challenger and Coach serve as the antidotes to the toxic DDT that lead to resourceful and co-creative was of relating;
- Making shifts happen between the two Orientations and the DDT and TED* roles; and

Our entire executive leadership team read TED* and conducted several clarifying workshops. It has allowed us to be more aware and thus make different choices about the roles we play. It is a useful, effective and powerful tool in our leadership tool kit."
– Fritzi Gouldsby Woods, Chairman & CEO, Primesource Foodservice Equipment, Inc.
"On Tuesday I had a big meeting with one of the teams at work and I was thinking how they were in the drama triangle: all victims and feeling powerless. As the meeting progressed there was a question from one staff member who said that she did not feel powerful and where did the power come from? I was able to tell them about the drama and empowerment triangles and there was an “ah-ha” moment for several of the staff! It was cool. That started a long discussion that ended in them moving from talking about doom and gloom to “what if....?” They told me at the end that they could see that things could be different and that gave them encouragement for the future. What a powerful book!"
– B.M.
"By seeing a more full picture, I am able to make better decisions."
– Randy Eisenman, Managing Partner, Satori Capital
"David's book provides powerful and practical insight into the places we all get trapped from time to time. Not only insight in those places we feel immovable, but how to move from feeling stuck into a more meaningful perspective. The Power of TED* is eloquent in its simple yet profound message. I've already given a copy to my wife, father, and two business associates."
– Tommy Glenn, Entrepreneur and Former President, Netbank Payment Systems
"This is truly a valuable and special book. I recommend it highly to anyone seeking greater happiness and peace in their lives."
– Peter S. Carlsen, President, AIC Ventures
"On a personal level, The Power of TED* provided more insight into interpersonal relationships and the potential dysfunction of human relationships than my psychiatry rotation and the years of working in a public hospital.
Giving this look to others both in my personal and business life has allowed me to develop a common vocabulary that has facilitated first broaching difficult problems and then working towards mutually created solutions."
– Kenneth K. Adams, M.D.
"Experiencing The Power of TED* (EPOT) was the best investment I've ever made in myself... It was a life altering experience. Reading The Power of TED* gave me an awareness of how I was living in the victim orientation. EPOT brought greater depth to the awareness and the interactive group exercises gave me the tools and support I needed to shift to the creator orientation... I found a hidden door in the walls around my life and now that I have stepped through that door I will never be the same."
– Tracy Christopherson, Director of Interdisciplinary Integration, Clinical Practice Model Resource Center
"The Power of TED* is one of the most enlightening and powerful concepts in the world today. This dynamic affects everyone in almost every situation they are in. Being aware is critical, but David’s process of taking this problem and turning it into a way to improve your life – business, family, personal, makes this book a must read for anyone. I use it and gave the book to my wife and she uses it."
– Eric W. Bennett, Chairman and CEO, Tolleson Private Wealth Management
