Here’s when our partnership makes the most sense

We’re the right partner when you’re looking to invest in leadership that actually sticks—whether you’re addressing a challenge or building for the future.

  • Team Misalignment or Trust Challenges: Your team is experiencing silos, breakdowns, or unclear leadership expectations, and you need a structured, values-aligned reset to build alignment, trust, and momentum.

  • Staff Development During Strategic Growth: You’re preparing for a new fiscal year, planning a retreat, or investing in your internal leadership pipeline, and want a thoughtful, culturally grounded partner to help you do it right.

  • Retention and Engagement Gaps: You’re losing high-potential talent, especially from underrepresented backgrounds, and want to create conditions where they can thrive and grow.

  • Overextended People Leadership: You're holding too many pieces—culture, performance, leadership—and need a partner who can drive progress without adding more to your plate.

  • Leadership Development That Reflects Today’s Workforce: You're looking for leadership support that’s culturally responsive, contextually-aware, and designed to work in real organizational complexity—not something generic.

  • Tools That Reinforce Your Values and Deliver Results: You want resources, facilitation, and advisory support that feel human, but are also rigorous, measurable, and aligned with your goals.

Case Studies

  • Our collaboration with the MHTTC Network led to the creation of the "Untapped Leadership: A Wellness Workshop Series." This series was specially designed for BIPOC-identifying school mental health professionals and their allies. It focused on enhancing wellness, leadership skills, and creating supportive networks among peers. This initiative not only empowered participants but also fostered an inclusive environment for sharing and growth, addressing the unique challenges faced by BIPOC individuals in the mental health sector.

  • Our partnership with Caruso included a multi-session series focused on leadership development at the intersection of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The series kicked off with an organization-wide session on "Uncovering Untapped Leadership: Exercising Contextual Agility to Lead Effectively," setting the stage for a deep dive into identity, intersectionality, systems thinking, and inclusive leadership. By exploring these critical areas, participants developed a understanding of their unique leadership capacities and those of colleagues, learned to navigate organizational dynamics with agility, and devised strategies for inclusive leadership.

Testimonials

  • “Untapped Leaders allows you to connect with yourself and other leaders by tapping into the various ways we show up in the world and workplaces, with our identities, power, privilege, oppression, and experiences. I appreciate the intersectionality, and the opportunity to talk about topics that may not ever be discussed in leadership development opportunities and programs, like code-switching, how to actualize DEI, and what may be bubbling up in my heart, mind, and body.”

    – Lyncy, Nonprofit and Public Sector

  • “This program has significantly expanded my perspective and network, connecting me with like-minded leaders and providing invaluable insights. It’s been instrumental in my growth, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their leadership skills and impact..”

    – Jose, Higher Ed

  • “This program helped me look at the full picture of who I am and how those experiences in my life can serve as vital aspects in my continued growth as a leader. I feel better prepared to continue to enrich my skills through an intersectional lens, versus suppressing those aspects of my identity as a part of my narrative as a professional.”

    – Betti, Nonprofit

  • “I felt challenged, heard, and well-received; I was also given great advice on how to be more effective in my organization. ”

    – Tony, Education

  • “Crafting the intentional space for diverse leaders to radically imagine new possibilities was magical.”

    – Dr. Charli, Nonprofit
