Hi. I’m Zach.

I am a qualified and professional organizational leader with twelve years of proven experience in leading organizations. I was an 8th grade teacher for eight years before I got into organizational leadership. I believe your organization is both a ministry and a business.

I believe everyone gets better when the leader is at their best. Naturally, I am a strategic, action-oriented visionary. I do best when starting new initiatives, which is why I’ve started three successful organizations. I am a jack-of-all-trades who loves creating compelling visions, executing a clear strategic plan, and helping put words to that feeling that you can’t quite explain. I also dabble in marketing, communications, and org charts. I ask a lot of questions and think that you are capable of more than you think.

I’m an Enneagram 3w4 and my Culture Index profile is a Trailblazer. My top 5 strengths are futuristic, strategic, activator, positivity, and belief. I’m 6’8, but I’m a gentle giant. Lastly, I love hanging out with my family, shooting three pointers, and eating tacos.

So that’s me. Now let me do what I do best: guide you to your best self.

Zach Garza is passionate about relationships because the Lord used a mentor to change his life.

Out of his passion, he founded the Dallas-based Forerunner Mentoring Program in 2011 and grew it into a flourishing organization serving hundreds of families and faithfully stewarding a $1.2M budget.

In 2018, Garza founded "You Can Mentor", a non-profit that helps equip and encourage mentors and mentoring organizations all across the world. He also has a podcast and a book by the same title.

In 2021, Zach teamed up with the East-Texas based Mentoring Alliance to expand their reach and to start a new mentoring programs in public schools in Waco, Texas.

Garza has a gift of vision, strategy, and communication and wants to use those gifts to help other leaders avoid the mistakes he once made as a non-profit entrepreneur. His desire is to see leaders lead in a healthy and sustainable way. He believes you must be filled up with encouragement, vision, and joy so you can pour out to whoever God has placed in your life.

Above all, he wants to come along side you to help envision, encourage and equip you to thrive while being faithful to the people you have been called to lead.
