Bouffard Associates is a San Francisco-based management consulting firm specializing in creating sustainable change through Leadership Development and Creating Exceptional Workplaces. We offer a broad range of highly individualized management consulting, training, facilitation and coaching services to businesses, governmental agencies and nonprofit organizations.

We believe that greatness is possible for those who are ready for change. Bouffard Associates coaches leaders to ‘lead from the core’ – by understanding their personal strengths and by
re-orienting the organization towards its natural strengths. Our approach to workplace transformation is systemic. Change must be aligned with both the leaders' and the organization's core values and be rooted in knowledge of the organization's purpose, mission, and higher capacity. We help managers at all levels examine how their beliefs and behaviors impact others, and we assist them in developing the skills and tools needed to lead others towards a greater future.

Founder, John Bouffard, brings 20 years of direct management, small business ownership and consulting experience to his practice, including six years studying the nation’s best workplaces, and a decade working with community organizations. He has assembled a dynamic and complementary team of premier organization development, human resource and strategy specialists. Working in partnership, we create sustainable change by cultivating exceptional leaders, workplaces and organizations.
