The characteristics of acceptance, authenticity and empathy encourage empowerment.
When a leader, and other group members, act and speak out of authenticity, others in the group are encouraged to be real. Individuals are not hiding or encased in a role; they are real. When a leader accepts the reality of others in the group, members are encouraged to speak in a more vulnerable way and take risks. When group members are greeted with empathy and understanding, they are encouraged to report a full range of their experience. This is the path to group empowerment.

About Zen 'n' Ink
Zen ‘n’ ink is a small publisher in the Pacific Northwest and for 15 years we have been releasing work that has the intention of improving the quality of life. We write and produce books,posters, T-shirts, CDs, audiotapes and pamphlets that encourage self-development and social responsibility. As you will see, we are especially interested in relationships, love, power, spirit, feeling and self-improvement. "The Little Blue Book on Power" is the primer for personal power and leadership. "The Way We Love" is a provocative text on relationships of many kinds. "Conversations with Dog" is a more philosophical look at life, religion, love and a relationship with a Border Collie. The themes of love, power and relationship run through many of the books and CDs/tapes. Explore the site and send us your feedback.
