About us

No one can resist a dare.

Barry Brand 

He's an energy-boosting creative director and innovation culture builder, a Breath-work and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) facilitator, and he is on a mission to make this world a happier place by helping businesses unlock the success that can come from becoming a force for good. 

In his long career in advertising, building creative departments worldwide, and working for some of the world's biggest brands, he saw the power of brands that genuinely cared more about their impact on people. He saw it created happier, more motivated work cultures and ultimately created more commercial success. 

​

So why wouldn't every business do it?

​

That "lightbulb moment" led him to create

"Dare to Care More" and dedicate his business to helping companies develop more success by simply caring more.

Justin Shill

Justin has been an artist since he was about 5. His father, being a printer, brought home reams of paper which he passionately coloured-in. He continued colouring-in throughout his long career as a graphic designer.

He was introduced to NLP (about 10 years ago), and he discovered a whole new set of invaluable tools to help him cope with the stress and strain of everyday life. He took that learning to a coaching level. Now, after reaching facilitator level, he has combined these two amazing things to help people deal with their stress and anxiety and live happier and more fulfilled lives.

He is also excited to be teaming up with Barry

and help create the processes that will help people

and the businesses they work for dare to care

more about people.

A bit more about the work

Barry and Justin have brought together a lifetime of learning to help businesses identify how they can build brands around kindness, empathy, and human connection.

​

This starts with a simple question:

As a business, what is getting in the way of you daring to care more about kindness, empathy, and human connection.

 

We help you identify the possible benefits to your business of caring more about these things.

​

We identify and agree on one area (one goal) where your business can authentically care more.

 

We help build the road map, including a program of workshops and educational tools, to create the culture change needed for you to achieve your identified goal.

 

We help you measure, along the way, and help you build a long-term strategy for continuing to care more.

 

And finally, we help you communicate it authentically to the world.

“The most dangerous risk of all: the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later.”
