Helping Leaders and Their Communities Have More “Best Days”
Coaching, strategy, and support to help school leaders thrive.
Meet Best Days Consulting
Best Days is a leadership coaching and consulting practice founded by John Clark, a veteran school leader with over 17 years of experience.
After founding high-performing middle schools and supporting turnaround efforts, John started Best Days to help other leaders thrive through deep connection, adaptive coaching, and strategic support.
Inspired by his son lan's words — "I have a lot of best days, Dad" — John built Best Days so school leaders can experience that too.

Pricing & Partnership Approach
Every school and leader is different and so is the support they need. I offer flexible options including hourly consulting, coaching retainers, and project-based engagements.
Most of my partners prefer a project-based approach that reflects the scope of the work, not just the time spent. This allows us to focus on outcomes, not the clock.
Let’s start with a conversation to determine the right level of support for your goals and budget. You can schedule a free consultation using the “Book A Call Now!” button above or the contact links and forms below.
