Hello. 👋🏼
We're Josh and Matt. Both born and raised in Indiana, we are Mishawaka and South Bend locals.

Our Story.
At Leadership Tap, we believe thriving organizations start with leaders who genuinely see, connect with, and empower their people.
With over 40 years of collective experience in leadership development, coaching, and organizational growth, we've learned that great workplaces don’t just happen—they’re intentionally cultivated by skilled leaders who understand both people and performance.
We get it. Most leaders step into management with plenty of talent and ambition but little formal preparation. Suddenly, they're navigating team dynamics, driving results, and shaping culture without a clear roadmap. It's overwhelming—and often lonely.
That's why Leadership Tap exists.
We’re your trusted guide, blending practical experience, real-world strategies, and powerful insights (including our proprietary LEQ™ and VennSight 360™ diagnostics) to help you build the culture you've always envisioned. Our approach is relentlessly practical, deeply personalized, and rooted in measurable outcomes.
Working with us means you'll become the kind of leader people want to follow—curious, confident, and connected. You’ll see increased morale, engagement, and productivity ripple across your team, creating a workplace that feels rewarding for everyone involved.
Because when leaders truly care for their people, everything improves—morale, culture, productivity, and profitability.

Meet the team.
We are obsessively relational, relentlessly practical, and unconventional by design. We offer customizable Leadership Development solutions for a world too complex for cookie cutter answers.
Matt is irrationally scared of zombies. He can’t watch sitcoms because he gets embarrassed on behalf of the goofy characters (poor Ross in Friends). He secretly wants to be a farmer but has trouble keeping houseplants alive. His version of heaven is long walks with his wife and laughing with his four kids.
Josh’s professional story began as a College Resident Director where he spent a decade training students in the art of personal, career, and leadership development. That’s a classy way of saying he spent 10 years living in a freshman male dorm and managed to survive!
The principles that drive everything we do.
Everyone Seen
We believe in the inherit good and value of all humans. We're better when we see people as people. Stay curious. And dignify those life brings across our paths.
Life Attracts Life
An open heart and mind attract open hearts and minds. The world is abundance. Those who believe this succeed. Those who embrace scarcity, find the world is scarce.
We're All Born Juicy
None of us are mistakes. We're all good. We all have innate brilliance. Getting back to a place of recognizing our "juicyness" unlocks limitless potential.
Yes, And
Improv teaches us how to succeed in life, business, and relationships. 1). Say yes, and. 2). Set your partner up for success 3). There are no mistakes.
Embrace Chaos
Life's an infinite game. When you stop complaining about what's "fair" and embrace uncertainty and adventure, you discover new levels of happiness.
Growth by Discomfort
What do weightlifting, relationships, and business have in common? In order to grow stronger, you must embrace (and even seek out) discomfort.
Great leaders aren't born — they're trained.
