Organizational consulting for nonprofits and values-driven organizations
Leadership alignment through organizational change.
Growth, restructuring, and executive transitions change what leadership requires. Untapped Leaders helps leadership teams understand where expectations, authority, and ways of working have fallen out of alignment, then build practical agreements and systems that fit the organization they are becoming.

When change reaches everyday work
The organization has changed.
Have the ways of working caught up?
A new structure can leave familiar questions unresolved. Who makes this decision? What needs to be coordinated across teams? What does accountability look like when responsibility has changed? We help leaders work through these questions together.
Authority has not moved with responsibility.
Decisions keep returning to the same few people, even after responsibility has been delegated.
New roles leave ownership unclear.
New reporting relationships create uncertainty about who can decide, act, and carry a commitment forward.
Shared mission, different expectations.
Leaders support the mission but interpret priorities, commitments, or measures of progress differently.
Informal relationships carry too much.
Work depends on individual relationships that are becoming harder to sustain as the organization changes.
Relevant work / Build Hope, Inc.
From organizational values to executive-team practice.
As Build Hope scaled, Untapped Leaders facilitated an executive retreat connecting organizational values to leadership practice. The team developed trust commitments, feedback practices, and a shared leadership vision, with tools for use in ongoing meetings.

Build alignment that can guide everyday work.
The engagement begins with your context. Depending on what the situation requires, our work may include leadership interviews, facilitated working sessions, clearer decision rights, team agreements, or support putting new practices into use.
Scope follows the evidence and the changes the organization needs to make.
- A shared understanding of the patterns affecting leadership and coordination.
- Clearer expectations about decisions, responsibility, and how work moves across teams.
- Practical agreements and routines that leaders can test, use, and refine.
Our approach / Contextual agility
Four lenses for understanding the challenge.
Our approach brings individual experience and organizational conditions into the same conversation. These lenses help us understand what is happening and where leaders can act.
Lived Insights
What are people experiencing, and what does that reveal?
Systems Thinking
Which structures, histories, incentives, and power dynamics shape the situation?
Personal Agency
Where can leaders act, influence conditions, or choose differently?
Shared Vision
What are we trying to make possible together?
Begin with your context
Start with the situation
you are navigating.
You do not need to arrive with a completed scope. In our first conversation, we will explore what prompted you to reach out, who is affected, and what useful movement could look like. Together, we can determine whether a facilitated experience, a consulting partnership, or ongoing advisory support fits the need.
Common questions
A starting point that fits the situation.
Do we need a retreat or a longer consulting engagement?
That depends on the challenge. A focused session may help a team work through a defined question. Issues involving authority, coordination, or organizational structures may require preparation and follow-through over time.
Can you work with a team during an executive transition?
We can support leadership alignment, working relationships, decision-making, and the organizational conditions around a transition. The first conversation clarifies the support your situation requires.
How is the engagement priced?
We develop a scope and fee around the work required. The initial conversation helps us understand that scope before recommending an engagement.
