"Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much." — Helen Keller
Jennifer Budd founded Development Unbound with a simple goal: Ending suffering at work.
Each of us has experienced the satisfaction, fulfillment, and joy of working on high-functioning teams—teams built on strong relationships and capable of achieving exceptional results. We’ve also experienced the opposite: the frustration, tension, and discouragement of serving on teams that just don’t work.
Driven by these experiences, we have dedicated our professional lives to mastering the concepts, skills, and tools that enable good teams to excel and struggling teams to hit their stride. Our methods are as varied as the teams we work with. Based on our clients’ individual needs, we offer services ranging from facilitated working sessions to workshops and speaking events to extended team coaching, leadership development, and team development engagements. We’ve also spent years training and mentoring others, including internal HR practitioners, in the work that we do.
Our greatest satisfaction comes from seeing the renewed hope and energy of our clients as persistent team challenges get thoroughly, and sustainably, resolved.

Our Approach
Our approach to supporting teams combines deep expertise in teaming, team leadership, and complex organizational systems with adaptive, inquiry-based exploration. As seasoned coaches, we know that any successful engagement begins with clearly understanding our client’s unique needs, goals, and context. We partner closely with our client contacts—including team leaders, team sponsors, and internal HR/OD professionals—to clarify the specific outcomes that will best serve the team and the larger organization. From there, we draw from our extensive range of tools and methods to select or custom design a solution to achieve those outcomes.
All our solutions are developed with an eye to effectiveness and efficiency—ensuring that clients attain the results they seek while making the best possible use of their valuable time. Having led teams ourselves, in contexts ranging from small businesses to large corporations and government agencies, we know how hard it can be to prioritize learning and development in the midst of ongoing work demands. Development Unbound engagements often integrate real work challenges, resulting in concrete goal achievement as well as greater awareness, skill, and cohesion. We’re also experts at streamlining content and adapting delivery formats to accommodate clients’ logistical constraints.
