Inclusive Leadership is embracing your values, empowering your team, and elevating your community.

Saterman Connect is a team of natural, instinctive collaborators with a deep-rooted passion for culture change. We’re driven by shared beliefs that allow us to work with all types of organizations, across a wide range of industries, to produce remarkable results.

Mission. Vision. Values.

MISSION.

To amplify people’s potential to deliver impactful business results.

VISION.

To live in a world where inclusion no longer needs to come before the word leadership.

VALUES.

Courage

We believe that it takes courage to be an inclusive leader and create a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion that bolsters and fosters sustainable belonging.

Fulfillment

We believe that fulfillment is living a deep and meaningful life – a life of purpose, dreams, accomplishments, contentment, and happiness.

Gratitude

We believe demonstrating gratitude creates a culture where people feel seen, heard, and valued – improving connection, building community, increasing productivity, and enhancing engagement.

Growth Mindset

We believe that a growth mindset is grounded in an organization and its people to continuously learn — this opens up boundless potential for innovation and infinite potential.

Vulnerability

We believe that vulnerability is critical to effective leadership — this builds trust, humanizes our workplace, and builds empathy within the organization, the team, and relationships.

Ubuntu ('Oneness’)

We believe that Ubuntu is the core for human dignity, respect, and compassion — these values make us whole and complete. We are who we are because of those around us.

Our Approach.

Give Back.

At Saterman Connect, we strive to impact our community. We support many organizations including Hetrick-Martin Institute, Strong Women Strong Girls, Heifer International, The Honor Foundation, and more.

These young people are looking for community, safety, love, and support. Each year, Saterman Connect gives a percentage of its profits to HMI and the other organizations mentioned. Saterman Connect is also a LGBT Business Enterprise (LGBTBE) Certified, and Saterman Connect qualifies as a certified diverse supplier.
