A resource for those who are ready to get to work.

Every town has excuses for why it got worse, and most of them obscure the real problem: people stopped believing their town was worth the effort.

The Civic Health Workbook walks you through why your community lost its self-respect, why residents feel embarrassed instead of proud, and why no state program or consultant parachuting in for a weekend is ever going to fix that for you. Then it helps you get to work: raising standards, sharpening aesthetics, rebuilding the kind of community bonds that make people actually want to stick around, and taking ownership of a place instead of just occupying it.

Workbook + Webinar
$2,500

Includes 15 workbooks and a live session with Jeff, built around the exact material in your team's hands. This is for the organization who knows that reading alone won't cut it – people need to talk it out, argue a little, and leave with a shared understanding instead of fifteen different interpretations of the same material.

Workbook + In-Person Visit
$12,500

Includes 25 workbooks and a full day with Jeff on-site. Slides don't move a room the way a direct conversation does, and this is built for that: real engagement, real pushback, real momentum.

Year-Long Partnership
$25,000

Most civic initiatives don't fail from a bad plan. They fail from nobody checking in six months later. This package starts with Jeff on-site, puts 25 workbooks in your team's hands, and keeps him in the work with you for a full year so the momentum that starts on day one doesn't quietly die by month four. Built for communities that are done with starting over.

“When you are starting a new organization, it can be overwhelming to know where to begin. Jeff has created a workbook that has saved me hours of research and compilation of resources in one easy to follow guide. He also doesn't sugar coat things. This book will make you uncomfortable, and that's how it should be. If you are uncomfortable, that means you need to take action to correct the issues at hand. It is presented in a logical manner that encourages you to look critically at your community to identify key areas to focus on. The checklists and worksheets further solidify the path you need to take. I have no doubt we will be able to immediately see results by implementing the action plan in The Civic Health Workbook.”
