Power Of Ted Fable
- Brian references the little fable 'The Power of Ted' by David Emerald to illustrate two life orientations.
- He describes the drama triangle (victim, persecutor, rescuer) versus the empowerment dynamic (creator, challenger, coach).
Ask The Targeting Question
- Shifting from victim to creator begins by asking a clarifying question: "What do I want?".
- This question replaces complaining with a target for focused action.
Use Two Questions Then Act
- After setting the target, follow up by asking: "Now what needs to be done?".
- Then take action and do what needs to be done to move from victim to creator to hero.
