Summary of Self-Description: Community Heart & Soul engages a motivated and dedicated group of individuals to help your town identify what matters most. We help people shape the future of their communities by actively seeking the collective wisdom of all residents, improving local decision-making, creating a shared sense of belonging, and ultimately strengthening the social, cultural, and economic vibrancy of each place.

Summary of Self-Description: Crucial Conversations mission is to improve the world by helping people improve themselves. Through courses and books, we help people learn behaviors that have a disproportionate impact on outcomes. We call these behaviors crucial skills. Skills target the moments in life that have greatest potential to affect outcomes – moments of disagreement, risk, or change. We help people learn to communicate effectively when both risk and opportunity are greatest: when opinions vary, stakes are high, and emotions run strong. In other words, when it counts. More >>

Summary of Self-Description: We act as bridge builders, trusted counsel, and critical friends to cultivate relationships between companies, advocates, and stakeholders. Because each situation between companies and their stakeholders is unique to their respective cultures, we tailor our approach to allow companies and advocates to step outside of their respective echo chambers and hear what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. We depolarize, we humanize, and we work collaboratively to enable companies and stakeholders to advance durable, positive change. More >>
