Coaching with TED* (*The Empowerment Dynamic)
Foundations Coaching Course
Who Do You Want to Be?
Whilst I have had coaches and committed to personal and professional development over the years, I have not experienced a course like this before. It is beautifully designed, full of interesting and useful content and conversations. It simultaneously impacted how I delivered TED* and 3 Vital Questions to my own clients in a more heart-felt and thoughtful way than I would have done before.

Who Do You Want To Be? course curriculum is designed for you to experience The Empowerment Dynamic in new ways.
The Empowerment Dynamic rapidly helps you, and those you partner with, get free of old drama stories and feel more freedom, ease, and aliveness.
You will be guided on an experiential journey of:
- Becoming familiar with your body’s sensations when you are caught in the Drama Triangle roles of Victim, Persecutor, and Rescuer;
- Learning how to free yourself from the grip of your own limiting stories that seed the drama roles;
- Feeling your positive emotions shift toward passion, enthusiasm, and desire when your mindset shifts from problems to outcomes;
- The glorious experience of fully knowing and trusting your Creator essence;
- Boldly embracing your identity as a courageous Challenger;
- Letting go of over-doing, and over-caring that feeds the Rescuer role and be free to truly Coach and empower others;
- Awakening your inner observer and expanding your ability to witness and accept all emotions with compassion, insight, and deeper awareness of how you have previously made meaning of your life experiences;
- Incorporating body-centered exercises to feel, experience, and welcome the creative energy in the gap between what you want and what you really have, and;
- Trusting your experience with new confidence and the joy in expressing your unique and creative gifts.
This course is ideal for you if:
- You are comfortable with emotions, even strong emotions;
- You have a deep desire to serve the common good;
- You are an experienced professional coach, or a therapist, counselor, minister, or human development specialist with some coach education;
- Your thinking goes beyond the worrisome “What should I do with my life?” to excitement about what you are yearning for and creating;
- You are recovering from a fixing and pleasing mindset;
- You trust that clarity resides in the gap of “not knowing” and you want to be adept at relaxing into the tension of deep personal growth, and;
- You have an inkling of your deeper longings, and you want to hang out with others who are attracted to conversations about life’s meaning and purpose.
This course is not for you if:
- You are looking for someone to tell you what is the best coaching technique or skill that you should learn;
- You have done little personal growth work or have never been coached or in therapy;
- You look for external reasons for your struggles;
- You want to learn how to set up your business and attract more clients, and/or;
- You are simply looking for continuing education credits.
The compassion, integrity, and lack of judgment with which Donna presents the course material is a true gift. It has helped me to realize that my triggers and reactions are but indicators of what I value, and to treat those aspects with kindness and respect, as I retrain myself to listen more deeply to myself and others. This course is a gift that keeps on giving and I cannot thank Donna, enough.”
– Rev. Julie Chai, MDiv.
Please do not let this be just another class. If you do the personal work and unblock yourself from old habits, you will experience the epiphany that you are The Empowerment Dynamic now, not sometime in the future. Your life will change and how you coach will change, but it takes work, reflection, practice, and willingness to begin.”

After my clients go through coach training for leaders at their company, they feel quite lost in how to lead and hold their direct reports accountable. Coaching with The Empowerment Dynamic really provides a simple (yet complex) framework that is SO helpful in supporting my clients. Knowing they can step into the Coach and Challenger role has greatly impacted each of them and their ability to lead! Thank you!”
