Mark Niles

Mark Niles began consulting with non-profits after 10 years in Human Resource consulting.  With a Masters of Marriage & Family Therapy, Niles practices two of his passions:  continuing to help others maximize their effectiveness and bringing “best business practices” to the non-profit arena.  He has created programs, adapted from his HR experience and his General Systems Theory training.  He provides targeted, practical solutions with his added understanding of systems and human interaction.  Mark is passionate about the focus of Niles & Associates, believing that all organizations can operate more effectively, exploit current resources more fully, expand their scope of services, and more effectively serve the community. 

In recent years, as a business coach and strategy consultant, Mark has helped men, women and organizations discover their mission and direction and he has then empowered them to go out and live it.  In the non-profit sector, many organizations turn to Mark to facilitate discussions in which mission is set, values and vision are defined, and a plan to move forward is written and executed.  Mark has a unique ability to involve key stakeholders in the process, so that when the work is done, not only is there buy-in on the design, there is also an eagerness to get it done.

He knows when to use his authority to get things done, when to motivate through supportive strategies and when to work collaboratively to achieve win-win results.
