Published
PROVIDENCE, UTAH — November 2, 2026 — The Center for The Empowerment Dynamic today announced a partnership with Hoh Kim, Ph.D., naming him an official TED* Master Trainer for South Korea. Dr. Kim is authorized to certify practitioners in the TED* (The Empowerment Dynamic) and 3 Vital Questions frameworks through Accreditation Workshops in Korean.
The partnership is the Center’s first master trainer appointment in Asia. Practitioners certified by Dr. Kim will become Certified TED* Practitioners, with the same benefits as other certified practitioners and a listing in the Center’s global practitioner directory.
The TED* Practitioner Certification equips coaches, facilitators, consultants, HR and learning professionals, and leaders to teach and coach the shift from reacting to creating. Practitioners learn the framework in depth and practice guiding clients from drama to empowerment through coaching and facilitation techniques.
"While The Empowerment Dynamic has been widely available for 20+ years, it has never been accessible in the Korean language. Working with Dr. Kim allows us to provide this life-changing work to people and organizations in South Korea to transform how they lead and shape organization culture. We are thrilled with Dr. Kim's partnership and passion for this work," said Daniel Rellaford, CEO of the Center.
“We all face unexpected challenges and disappointments in our work and lives,” said Dr. Kim. “I view TED* as an innovative internal compass that helps us navigate these challenges with absolute clarity. By shifting from anxiety-driven reactions toward outcome-focused co-creation, and by learning to ask more empowering questions, leaders can transform workplace drama, break free from the Dreaded Drama Triangle, and make highly conscious, strategic decisions.”
