The Dare to Dream events are geared to teach many EQ skills in a highly experiential and inspirational fashion!
Should I do the events alone or with friends?
Dr. Karyn recommends you do these events with at least 1 friend. This is not mandatory but encouraged simply because when we can learn with people from our support team we become more accountable to each other and we can cheer them on!
I think my friend would love this – but they are in a crisis. Would this be good for her?
These events are not designed for counselling but rather for leadership education. Therefore we do not encourage people to attend these events if they are currently in a crisis situation.
What age is most appropriate?
The Dare to Dream Pre-Teen / Teen Event is for young people from grades 8-12. The Dare to Dream Young Adult / Adult Event is for adults ages 19+. In our last event for adults we had several people in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s and a couple in their 70’s.
What types of adults come to the Dare to Dream Adult Event?
The adult event is a beautiful mix of professional students, young professionals & boomers exploring what their dream is for the next chapter in their lives.
How will Dr. Karyn deal with both pre-teen & teens during the event as they are in very different life stages?
The Dare to Dream event is very hands-on and experiential which works ideally with all age groups. However, for specific exercises the group will be divided according to age so that she can tailor the material more specifically.
How many people are able to come?
Each event has been limited to only 25 people since we want it to be highly hands-on and intimate.
What is the style of the event? Will I find it fun & interesting?
Absolutely! Dr. Karyn’s events are highly creative, interactive, fun and practical. The mood is casual and relaxed.
I think my pre-teen / teen would enjoy this but I think they will be reluctant. Any suggestions to get them onboard?
Let them read this document which outlines what to expect as well as teen testimonials (see below). You can also print off Dr. Karyn’s biography which communicates her experience and passion working with young people. Be sure to emphasize that this is a highly creative event to help them achieve their dreams! Finally encourage them to bring a friend which makes it not only empowering and interesting, but also a meaningful social experience.
I’m thinking of sending my teen to the teen event and signing myself up for the adult event so I can also learn what my teen learned. Would this be beneficial?
Absolutely! In fact, when Dr. Karyn first designed the Dare to Dream event for teens, she had so many parents inquiring whether they could attend that she created the Dare to Dream event for adults so that they could learn the same leadership skills their teens were learning!
Can I purchase my tickets at the door?
No - all registration must be done in advance. And we anticipate selling out quickly as we did for the last few events.
