Why Dare to Care?
The quality of our relationships defines the quality of our lives.
When we communicate well, we live well.
Yet many of us avoid conflict, silence our truth, and suffer from an inability to say no.
We long for relationships – at home, at work, in teams – that feel honest, connected, and whole.
But we live in a world where being held to account is rarely done well.
Dare to Care is an invitation to speak truth to power, kindly and clearly.
To say no – and mean it.
To ask for what you want.
To give feedback that uplifts, even when it is hard to hear.
To stand for what matters most.
Imagine having the tools to speak what must be said in ways that honour both yourself and others.
Where your team is free to do great work, and your words become a force for clarity and care.
Many of us care deeply – for our children, our planet and the future.
Dare to Care is about choosing to speak and act for what you love- with courage, clarity and compassion.
Do you want to…
Move beyond the fear of speaking truth, to power, to peers, to yourself.
Say “no” with clarity and conviction. Say “yes” with your whole being.
Restore and nurture relationships that truly matter.
Clear the residue of unspoken tension so you can live light and clean.
Find your voice rooted, bold and aligned with your essence.
Create exquisite, authentic connections with those you care about.
Speak with quiet authority when it matters most.
Stand in your vulnerability with grace, not fear.
Navigate conflict and rupture with dignity and care.
Speak truth to power, with unwavering integrity.
Stand in spaces where exploitation and marginalisation once lived and are no longer allowed by anyone.

A personal note from Christine
I created Dare to Care – Radical Truth with Compassion – over 20 years ago, delivering it throughout one of Australia’s biggest banks to support team building and performance. It was so impactful, it was requested at all levels of the organisation. Since then, Dare to Care has helped transform people’s lives – healing broken relationships, reuniting families, and restoring connection.
How do we communicate with care and stand for what matters?
How do we bring out the best in ourselves and others, especially when care feels absent?
When we lose the conversation with our work, we lose meaning.
When we lose it with loved ones, we lose joy and intimacy.
When we lose the conversation with ourselves, we become untethered.
Dare to Care offers powerful, practical tools to speak with care, radical truth, respect and wholehearted courage. Whether in work, relationships or your inner life, these tools will enrich how you show up and connect. When we Dare to Care well, lives are better.
Testimonials
Real voices. Real Transformation. Dare to Care in action.
“A caring business owner with a long-term vision would be ill-advised not to invest in such a workshop!”
Germany
“Incredibly well researched in its relevance and practical application. The workshop became a game changer for me because it inspired me to nourish clean, lasting connections and relationships and see how many new opportunities these bring.”
Aurica Pripa

“George Bernard Shaw said, “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” Many leaders rationalise that people know what they mean or want. Communication can inspire or deflate, connect or deflect, and keep us small in our positions and life when our hearts want more. Your program can open minds, hearts, and the courageous guts of for us all.”
