John Bauer Consulting, LLC, is a practice I established to provide support and resources to chief executive officers and boards of directors of nonprofit organizations. My entire 40+ year career was spent in the nonprofit world and I have experienced life on both sides of the board room table – as the chairman of numerous local, regional and national boards of directors, and also as the president and chief executive officer of a large, national human service organization. I know both the joys and challenges of leading and governing. My purpose is to help mission-driven nonprofit organizations become more effective and to be more impactful to the communities they serve.

Ways in which I can help you achieve your preferred future:

Board Development – Board retreats and workshops, executive coaching on working with boards, board effectiveness evaluation, and consulting around best practices in non-profit governance. 

Organizational Development – Board and staff retreats and workshops for visioning and strategic planning, risk assessment and mitigation strategies, strategic restructuring, and organizational redesign. 

CEO Support –  Consulting with Boards to find ways to rescue otherwise effective leaders, develop appropriate policies, design and implement counseling and development plans, support boards and executives with systems of recovery, advice and counsel related to exit and separation strategies when needed.
