DARE TO DO IT DIFFERENT
Get ready to change the way you think about conversation.
What is Daring Dialogue?
In a world where conversations are often reduced to soundbites, quick judgments, and opposing sides, Daring Dialogue was born out of a simple but profound realization: disconnected people can’t possibly evolve into great teams, make informed decisions, build strong relationships or create positive change. In a time when we’ve gotten really good at talking at one another, where polarization is the norm, communication tools grow while loneliness is on the rise … it’s time for something different.
Daring Dialogue is much more than a model or a framework - this is a mission and we hope you’ll join us! This is a convening place for those who don’t just want to say something - they want to change something.
YES - don’t worry - we will give you the tools, strategies and approaches but more importantly we will offer activation, motivation and maybe even inspiration, to communicate and engage in a whole new way. It lays the groundwork for meaningful connection and communication: at work and beyond.
We are not for everyone.
We’re for the ones who dare to do it different.
With Daring Dialogue, we break down communication into four dynamic, trainable dimensions that help you move from talking at each other to building something together.
why do we need it?
After decades of leading community and public engagement, Kim Hyshka and her team at Dialogue Partners witnessed firsthand what happens when communication breaks down - and more importantly, what happens when it’s done right. They saw how the quality of conversations directly shaped the quality of teams, decisions, relationships, and ultimately, lives.
That’s why Daring Dialogue was created. To help people, teams, and organizations bridge the gaps that divide us. This is about more than just talking. It’s about creating the space for real connection, navigating difficult conversations with care, and investing in relationships that matter. Because when we invest in better conversations, we invest in better futures.
And yes … this work takes effort. It’s not always easy. But the most valuable relationships, the best teams, and the strongest communities aren’t built on quick wins or scripted debates. They’re built through daring, intentional, and thoughtful dialogue.
If the old way of communicating isn’t working, maybe it’s time to dare to do it different.
3 WAYS YOU CAN DARE
WHO IS THIS FOR?
GROWTH-MINDED LEADERS
You’re not here for quick fixes—you’re here to lead with purpose and presence. Whether you manage a team or simply influence one, Daring Dialogue helps you cultivate the awareness, courage, and communication habits that create trust and clarity. You’ll learn to co-create—not control—conversations that move people forward, even when pressure is high. Whether it’s client pushback, stakeholder clashes, or team dynamics, this experience builds your capacity to engage with authenticity and humanity, not just react.
Expect more confidence in the moments that matter most, more clarity in your impact, more courage in your choices, and more alignment between how you lead and how you show up.
HIGH-FUNCTIONING HUMAN TEAMS
Tired of tiptoeing around what really matters? We help teams co-create conversations that build connection before conflict. Through shared presence and curiosity, your team will learn to see value in every voice and every moment—breaking through the noise to find alignment, trust, and flow.
Expect more clarity, more creativity, and fewer things left unsaid.
COURAGEOUS CULTURE FOR EVERYONE - EVERY DAY
Daring Dialogue isn’t just for the boardroom and it’s not just for working through conflict. It’s for dinner tables, community meetings, and all the everyday moments where connection can deepen or disconnect can divide.
We help people slow down, listen up, and speak in ways that build understanding and respect - without needing conflict to start the conversation. The result? A culture that knows how to hold complexity, lean into discomfort, and still get sh*t done.
Expect more connection, more moments that open the door to healing or change, and the ripple of presence that transforms how we show up for one another.
