Welcome to the next installment of our EO Community Catalyst Spotlight series. We firmly believe that navigating the Employee Ownership landscape is best done through shared experience. Here, we gather practical insights from leaders at every stage of the EO lifecycle to help guide your own journey.

Today, we are thrilled to feature Sarah Hewett from People Untapped, a global leadership and management development consultancy.

People Untapped is relatively early in their Employee Ownership (EO) journey, making Sarah’s insights incredibly valuable for founders and teams who are just starting to navigate this structural and cultural shift. Following her attendance at the recent EOCC event in March 2026, we caught up with Sarah to discuss the power of curiosity, the reality of “Financial Freedom Day,” and why employee ownership is so much more than just a change on paper.

Here’s what Sarah had to share.
