Who Do You Want to Be on the Way to What You Want?: Coaching with the Empowerment Dynamic

by Donna Zajonc, Donna Zajonc MA, Donna Zajonc MCC

Deepen your creativity and strengthen your influence as a leader and coach.

How do I, and my clients, learn from our reactive habits instead of pushing them away? Why do the same habits keep reappearing in the first place? How can my drama patterns show me the way to being the person I want to be?

If you're familiar with David Emerald's teaching story, The Power of TED* (*The Empowerment Dynamic), you will recognize the main character in this Sophia, the coach who walks with Ted and David. In this new story, we look in on Sophia many years later, after she has become an experienced professional coach. You will hear Sophia's internal dialogue, her doubts, and worries, as she learns to quiet her mind in service of coaching a head strong client. The coaching dialogue here reveals tools and methods intended to help you coach and empower yourself as well as others.

This book was such a powerful reminder that growth isn’t about fixing ourselves—it’s about shifting how we see ourselves. I’ve read a lot on The Empowerment Dynamic, and Donna brings it to life in such a fresh, accessible way through storytelling. I saw myself in both the coach and the client, which made the lessons land on a deeper level. The reflective questions and tools woven throughout are so practical, and I’ve apply them in my own coaching practice and daily life. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in reactive patterns or wanting to lead with more intention and clarity, this book is definitely worth reading (and re-reading).
