## Key Concepts

TED* (The Empowerment Dynamic) is built around three core roles:
- **Creator** — focuses on outcomes and vision rather than problems
- **Challenger** — brings growth-oriented provocation and accountability
- **Coach** — supports others in discovering their own answers

The Three Vital Questions (3VQ) framework asks:
1. Where are you focusing your attention?
2. How are you relating to others, yourself, and your circumstances?
3. What actions are you taking?
