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

“George Bernard Shaw said, “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” Many leaders rationalize that people know what they mean or want without clearly speaking it. 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.

Marcia Reynolds

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.
