As we all know too well, clients often bring their life dramas or “stories” into their coaching sessions. Sometimes those dramas can hook us by engaging our own “reactive triggers,” resulting in seeing the client or the session as being “a problem to fix.” As coaches, our challenge is to stay rooted in an outcome -focused Creator Orientation, as described by David, in his The Power of TED* (*The Empowerment Dynamic). By doing so, we resist the temptation to get pulled into the Dreaded Drama Triangle ™ and its roles of Victim, Persecutor and Rescuer – the latter being all-too-easy for helping professionals. Instead, coaching from an Outcome Orientation allows us to cultivate and reinforce TED* (*The Empowerment Dynamic) ™ through the resourceful roles of Creator, Challenger and Coach.

In this session, David will present and apply what Molly Gordon, MCC describes as the “utterly simple and endless nuanced” frameworks of TED* that can help you be aware of your own reactive triggers and develop a stronger presence for staying centered and unhooked during coaching conversations.
