Why Dare to Care?
Do you avoid conflict and confrontation?
Have you ever diminished yourself because of your fear to speak?
Are you suffering because you cannot say no?
Do you long for relationships to be deeply connected, whole and real?
Do relationships at work or in your team or family exist as battlegrounds or black holes?
We live in a world where being held to account is rarely done well.
Imagine your life when you know you have the tools to speak what needs to be said in a way that honours you and the other, every time. Where your team are free to do their great work unburdened by messy relational breakdowns. Where your words and voice become a transmission, creating what you most need, want and desire for a world with a future for all.
Many of us also care about something greater than ourselves. Our children, the future, our home planet, justice, the work we do for a world with a future?
Do we Dare to Care to speak and act for that which we hold as worthy of our life force energy?
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 performance management and team building. It was so loved by people that it was requested to be delivered at all levels of the bank.
As a result of Dare to Care peoples lives have been changed for the better, relationships that seemed broken have been repaired, and families have come back together.
How do we communicate with care? How do we stand for things we care about? How do we support the best in ourselves and others?
How do we communicate respectfully when we are in situations where we feel care is missing from ourselves or the other?
When we lose the conversation and relationship with our work, we lose our meaning in work.
When we lose the conversation and relationships with our friends and family, we lose our connection to joy, happiness and intimacy.
When we lose the conversation and relationship with ourselves, we are lost.
The Dare to Care workshop provides powerful, practical tools to ensure our conversations are spoken with care, respect, radical truth and the generosity of wholehearted courage.
Whether you apply these tools and skills to your personal or work life, or to the conversation with yourself and your work, you will be enriched for learning them.
When we Dare to Care well, lives are better.

Testimonials
DARE TO CARE and you will have the tools to…
Transform defensiveness and blame
Build cultures of accountability and responsibility at every level. Leave behind powerlessness, justification, blame, sanctioned helplessness
Make requests, manage expectations, challenge assumptions and eradicate ambiguity
Start with clarity. Speak as transmission. Stand for something greater than self, enabling requests to be uncontaminated by ambiguity, manipulation or coersion.
Manage all forms of conflict resolution
Whether you are confict averse or conflict comfortable we can all find a better way to stand in the heat of untethered emotions, blame, judgements and critisism. Learn to understand first.
Set the context for the most difficult conversations
Context provides the space and place for a conversation. If we seek an exceptional outcome that dignifies all parties we need to be sure to establish a safe, respectful context.
Speak with vulnerable strength
The ability to be vulnerable is a strength. There is a fine line between vulnerability and maintaining clear and strong boundaries. Openness doesn’t mean being too ‘nice.’ Radical Truth with compassion requires a greater care.
Say no as a complete sentence
Learn to say NO and mean no. ‘No’ doesn’t require a story, justification or excuses. Learn to stand in the clarity of ‘No’ with respect and dignity.
This is the beginning of an amazing adventure

A taste of what we cover
Clean Communication
Working with others ensuring there is zero residue of emotional upset, blame, attack, judgement, ridicule or denial of equal access.
7 Step Process to Speak the Truth
A self-inquiry process before a conversation to ensure you show up in the best way possible to serve the other and the most dignified outcome for all
Staying Present to the Conversation
To stay present as the conversation unfolds is a gift of powerful listening dignifying the speaker. How are we able to stay present when the emotions and stakes are high?
Accountability and Responsibility
To hold each other and ourselves to account and accept our responsibility is requisite for any healthy team, family or enterprise.
Handling conflict
If you are conflict-averse we give you tools to ensure you stay in your body|being through conflict. If you are comfortable in conflict we give you tools to be sure the conflict flow is facilitated towards resolution.
Being comfortable in silence
Silence enables truth to emerge. To be able to stand in our own silence and the silence of others with ease gifts the opportunity for often acknowledged or unrecognised truths to emerge.
Acknowledgement and Feedback
To give acknowledgement and feedback is a skill and art form. We teach you to do both with elegance.

Still have doubts if this is for you?
Will it work?
There are many choices available as we learn to become better communicators and as a result better parents, partners, collaborators and citizens.
The difference that makes the difference with Dare to Care is we start with the inner journey.
How are we showing up for ourselves first? How does this translate into communication, even without words, to others?
True communication is the response we get. If the response we are getting is not towards a better relationship, what do we need to do to change how we communicate?
How do we hold the other, no matter our judgements or opinions of them, with the greatest dignity we can muster?
Every tool and skill we teach in Dare to Care translates into every form of relationship, be that at work, at home, or in the community.
Ultimately we get to have better and deeper connections, become comfortable with our own vulnerability, to be better leaders, parents and partners.
Connection. Care. Strong relational bonds.
These are the outcomes of the practice of Daring to Care.
Investment?
Because relationships are the foundation of human existence we believe Dare to Care is extraordinarily valuable. You have access to the Online learning portal ongoing to review any part of the Dare to Care workshop. The opportunity to also become a part of the Global Syntropic World community as a graduate is priceless.
We do offer scholarships to those who are deeply committed to the Syntropic Dare to Care journey yet cannot afford the payment plan. Please email us if you would like to apply for a scholarship or alternative payment plan.
Too overwhelming, Not enough time?
Yep, we get it. Our task as people who care deeply can seem incredibly overwhelming. We work with Kairos time – time in harmony with Universe. All the material is there for you to access at any time. The Community can be there for you when the time is right. There is no pressure.
The richness of Dare to Care comes through your fellow participants and their experience, contributions and questions, which is why we encourage attendance to the LIVE sessions.
FAQ

Exhale. We have got you. You should receive a confirmation email with immediate access to the Online portal, plus the downloadable calendar and access to Syntropia – our digital house. Please check your spam if the email doesn’t arrive. If you cannot find it, contact us.
Can I bring my team?
Absolutely. This is the best way to experience Dare to Care. We have special rates for teams of four or more. Please ask.
I cannot attend all of the Live Online classes. Are they recorded?
Yes, all of the live online classes are via Zoom. Everyone enrolled will be sent the link to the recording after the class has been held for that week.
I can only attend one day of the live in-person Dare to Care
If you can only attend Day One we can make exceptions. It will not be possible to attend Day Two without attending Day One.
Do you offer scholarships?
If the price is an issue for you please contact us and we will discuss dignified options that value all parties and makes it easy for you to attend.
We are a well established business. Is this relevant to us?
If you want to (1) create a culture of accountability, responsibility, care and love (2) ensure people develop their own leadership and communication skills as they work with you (3) allow the best opportunity for ecologies that enable synergy (4) enable a deep sense of humanity as the shared experience in the work place without falling into saccarine ‘niceness’ (5) create a culture of joy and coherence? Then YES.
Is this for individuals or business owners or leaders?
Dare to Care is designed for individulas, teams, whole enterprises, partnerships, community groups and families. Ideally we get a diverse mix in each Workshop, which enables a higher degree of co-learning.
How do I access the materials?
Your registration email will include instructions about how to access the Online portal, and Syntropia, our digital house. We have a short video to help you navigate the experience. If you are still stuck, email support@syntropic.world
Why we offer Dare to Care in 4 currencies
As an Australian, I am tired of paying for courses and events in $US or £ or € where my money is nearly halved. At the same time travelling to Europe the costs in Euro are similar to the costs in Australia for the same things, without the currency conversion. We wanted to make this a more fair exchange. This is based on trust. If you are a US citizen and you want to save yourself one-third of the fee, that is your choice. At the same time, if you can afford the full fee in your currency that means we at Syntropic World can continue to invest in advancing tools and models for a world with a future.

Dear friends,
Everyone knows the pain of miscommunication, being misunderstood, or failing to manage expectations.
We know the feeling of being judged, criticised, exploited, rejected and ridiculed.
We know the longing of wanting to fit in, to belong, to be a part of something with others.
We know we often get in the way of ourselves. We want to be HELD to OUR BEST, with love and care.
We want to work with others on projects we care deeply about and do so in an environment that allows the best of ourselves to be present.
We want ecologies of TRUST.
The quality of our relationships is the foundation of a quality life.
To be able to speak, communicate, request, negotiate, listen, understand, invite, enrol and commune with elegance and grace is a lifelong journey.
The tools and skills learned in the Dare to Care workshop will become foundation tools for your better life, your greater leadership, for profoundly rich relationships.
We would love to welcome you, please reach out if you have further questions,
warmly,
Christine
