Keith Padgett

Over 45 years ago I began a career that turned out to be more dynamic and rewarding than I could have possibly imagined at that young age.  With a freshly minted college degree and emboldened by the faith of very dynamic mentors, I began my career in non-profits.<br> <br>I became a student of the business, learning from my mentors, my successes and my mistakes.  I traveled extensively, learned and listened and earned a Masters of Public Administration while working full time and raising my son as a single parent.  I studied top business leaders and nonprofit experts. I was fortunate to work for startups, mid-size and multimillion dollar organizations in San Diego, Sacramento, Seattle, Los Angeles, El Paso and Central Florida. Much of my work has involved working for affiliates of major national non-profits.<br><br>With strong teams of staff, boards and volunteers, every organization I served experienced tremendous programmatic, public awareness and economic growth. <br><br>I developed a leadership philosophy and fundraising skills with proven success—techniques and philosophies that have worked time and time again.<br> <br>KPA is capable of teaching these techniques to help others achieve their goals to become high impact non-profits and mission-centered professionals. I base all of my consulting on the same “nuts and bolts” approach I used to be extremely successful over 45 years as a nonprofit CEO.<br> <br>I realize that taking that first step to engage a consultant to help you reach a higher level of impact is not as easy as it sounds.  After all, your investment–and your time–are important and deserve every consideration.  I share your feelings.  I believe that how you approach engaging a consultant matters…that you should get what you pay for, and then some…that you should enjoy your time with your consultant as you are benefiting from it…and that you should never settle for the ordinary.<br> <br>If you are ready to take the first step, email me at keith@kpasolutions.info
