Services
The way the people in your organization communicate drives your productivity, culture, impact, and profitability.
We help you and your team surface conflict and navigate difficult conversations in every meeting and project.
Training
We design custom trainings that shifts your team’s mindset and drives meaningful behavior change.
At Habitus, we understand conflict as not just a disagreement between two people but as a tension that emerges in meetings, project plans, and across partnerships. We teach you effective communication techniques so that you can:
- Design and facilitate productive meetings that engage your participants and end on time.
- Navigate difficult conversations such as delivering feedback as a manager or project lead.
- Negotiate with colleagues, stakeholders, or customers to arrive at a solution every one can say yes to.
The methods we teach center a collaborative approach to problem-solving which leads to better results and stronger, more honest relationships.
Our trainings and individual coaching sessions can be applied broadly to programmatic, people & culture, sales, and executive teams.
Facilitator Services
Efficient meetings are the backbone of impactful organizations.
We help clients design meeting agendas that capture and engage the attention of the room, ensure relevant voices are heard, and arrive at successful decisions and a clear path forward.
Our Facilitator Services can include any of the following:
- Agenda Design: With your input, our expert facilitators will design an agenda for your desired meeting whether that’s a weekly team check-in, annual retreat, or a multi-stakeholder convening.
- Facilitation Coaching: You or a member of your team will receive 1:1 training to facilitate your desired meeting.
- Co-Facilitation: You or a member of your team will collaborate with our expert facilitators to co-facilitate your desired meeting.

Mediation
Despite the best intentions, sometimes ruptures or impasses happen in partnerships, coalitions, or employee relationships.
Everyone has their side of the story to tell. We guide impacted parties through constructive and facilitated conversations where needs can be expressed and areas of shared understanding can be uplifted. Move from stuck to next steps and begin to repair your relationships.
Coaching
Coaching is an impactful investment you can make for your career and your organization.
In a one-on-one or small group session, you can receive personalized feedback to transform your communication and interpersonal skills. Our coaches provide you the space to reflect, learn concrete tools and frameworks, and prepare you to step into your growth areas. Our approach is highly personable, responsive, and adaptable to leave you with the confidence you need to move forward and to create lasting change.
Our coaching services can be provided in a single or multi-session package. We work with clients on topics such as:
- Designing and facilitating a complex, multi-stakeholder meeting
- Preparing for a difficult conversation or a meeting where there will be high conflict
- Building your personal skills as a meeting facilitator and/or agenda designer
- Engaging diverse stakeholders to receive feedback
- Designing a strategic planning process
- Developing a job search or career transition strategy

Strategic Planning
We help leaders understand the evolving ecosystem they operate within and provide a process to align an organization around strategic decisions from concept to implementation.
We help clients develop a sustainable strategy to achieve their mission. Our strategic planning process dives deep to:
- Understand the perspectives of diverse stakeholders.
- Create a shared, energizing vision that sets an organization’s perspective.
- Engage your organization by naming specific actions and providing the tools and workflow to track and celebrate progress
Our strategic planning team provides expert support for nonprofit organizations, government agencies, companies, and collaborative/multi-stakeholder initiatives.

“Strategy Arts [now merged with Habitus] did an exceptional job with helping us create a strategic plan and determine an action plan. Our consultants provided a structured framework, while willing to be flexible, that they based on our needs. They listened well, provided helpful suggestions and feedback, and kept us on track throughout the process. I would absolutely recommend Strategy Arts.”
