Using an evaluation and planning process, he can turn around an organization in 6-18 months. Contracts depend upon availability. His track record speaks for itself. (See client list for details)
Strategic Vision Planning & Facilitation-
Many consultants can get your organizational leadership in a room and hammer out a vision plan. But these plans are often thrown in a drawer for three years and never touched again. That is not helpful. Zoot’s process starts with a comprehensive 90-day evaluation and report because you can’t know where you are going until you know where you are coming from. That is followed by a facilitated stakeholder retreat and a final 3-year vision plan created by consensus with all major stakeholders. But it doesn’t stop there. Those goals are tied to objectives with timelines and budgets and training on how to use them, update them, and report on them as a living document to manage and achieve goals set.
Staff or Board Training & Development
From a 45-minute board training to a full semester class and everything in between. Zoot is the official trainer in Nonprofit Leadership for two universities.

Experienced in finding the best candidates for your needs with new techniques using social media for recruitment, a multi-step process for finding the best candidates, and GRIT as a benchmark.

Resource (Fund) Development Planning-
Evidence shows that everything we think about Fundraising is backwards!

These methods are proven to increase funding and resources significantly. Workshops are now available through the current book tour and online.
