WORKSHOP: React Less, Empower More: Intentional Communication at WorkIn today’s high-stakes, fast-paced work environments, reactive habits can erode trust, derail collaboration, and compromise outcomes.
This experiential workshop introduces *The Empowerment Dynamic® (TED), a framework that helps professionals recognize unproductive patterns—like blame, avoidance, and over-functioning—and shift toward empowered roles: Creator, Challenger, and Coach. Participants engage with real-world workplace scenarios, guided self-reflection, and structured practice to walk away with actionable tools for more effective, resilient communication. Why It MattersThis session tackles the interpersonal strain, miscommunication, and emotional fatigue that are increasingly common across industries—from corporate teams and client services to healthcare and frontline leadership. Based on research in positive psychology, coaching, and behavioral science, TED* offers a practical and immediately applicable alternative to reactivity.
Brittany is a fresh and engaging facilitator for anyone seeking practical tools to live authentically.
