FRAMEWORK

The Sphere of Care™

A relational framework for understanding the people, relationships, groups, and systems surrounding us, and the distinct roles, perspectives, access, and responsibilities held within those circles.

CLARITY OUTSIDE

No two Spheres of Care™ are exactly alike. The relationships may change, but you remain at the center.

You are the Center.

The position of each circle reflects proximity, role, access, and responsibility, not a person’s worth or how much care they deserve.

FOUR FOUNDATIONAL IDEAS

  • Understanding grows when perspectives remain connected.

  • Perspective is shaped by proximity, experience, and responsibility.

  • Different relationships hold different knowledge.

  • The individual remains at the center

The Sphere in Action

  • In Family

    Understanding relationships across generations and roles.

  • In Education

    Understanding the relationships surrounding a child's educational journey.

  • In Leadership

    Recognizing the people, roles, perspectives, and responsibilities surrounding a leader.

  • In Life

    Understanding how our relationships shift across roles, transitions, and seasons.

The Sphere in Education

The first public application of The Sphere of Care™.

When we apply the Sphere to a child's educational journey, the framework reveals the network of people surrounding that child.
Each holds a different piece of the picture.
