The Untapped Leadership Course 

For underrepresented professionals ready to lead and thrive.

Unlock Your Authentic Leadership Potential

Master the skills to advocate for yourself, navigate systemic challenges, and accelerate your career with this on-demand leadership course.

The Untapped Leadership Course empowers early to mid-career underrepresented leaders— professionals of color, women, LGBTQ+, and all those marginalized across identity spectrums— to break free from outdated models, harness their authenticity, and lead with bold impact.

It is designed for those ready to transform their leadership journey and embrace their identity as a strength.  

  • You’re tired of feeling unseen, stuck, or frustrated in a system that doesn't acknowledge your unique strengths and perspectives.

  • You’ve been overlooked for promotions or leadership opportunities despite your talents and contributions.

  • You find yourself in leadership programs that don’t resonate with your lived experiences or your values.

  • You’re wondering if it’s possible to lead in a way that is truly aligned with who you are—without having to fit into someone else’s mold.

Does this sound familiar?

You are not alone.

For far too long, leadership has been defined by a narrow view—one that fails to capture the diversity, brilliance, and potential of leaders like you. But now is the time to reclaim your power. The future of leadership is waiting for voices like yours.

Meet Dr. Jenny Vazquez-newsum

Hi there. I’m Jenny. Leadership strategist, author, and keynote speaker.

I’m convinced leadership can be done better, and I leverage overlooked perspectives to prove it. Over the course of my career, I’ve worked with 500+ leaders ranging from established executives at large corporations to high school students beginning their leadership journeys -- witnessing the untapped capacities that exist across all stages in career paths.

I wrote Untapped Leadership: Harnessing the Power of Underrepresented Leaders to fill the glaring gaps in leadership bookshelves and business school syllabi.

By joining this course, you’re accessing the tools and frameworks built by and for historically overlooked career-driven professionals. We don’t use the same playbooks because the rules of the game are not the same for us.
