Celebrating 5 Years of Saterman Connect: Reflecting, Evolving, and Amplifying What's Next

To our Clients, Colleagues, Collaborators, and Community,

Five years ago, we launched Saterman Connect with a bold vision: to amplify people’s potential and impact business results. Today, we pause with gratitude to reflect on the journey — a journey filled with learning, challenge, laughter, growth, and partnership.

Building Together

Over the past five years, we’ve:

  • Partnered with 125+ global clients across industries, roles, and regions

  • Delivered 625+ engagements focused on talent development, culture and engagement, and inclusive leadership—through our core solutions:
    Academies & Workshops, Coaching, Consulting, eLearning, Off-sites, and Speaking Engagements

    • These experiences have reached over 72,000 employees worldwide—from intimate Team Coaching for 5 people to Keynote Speaking engagements for 1,000+ people

    • Our impact is meaningful for both small teams and large organizations

  • Grown our team, welcoming new collaborators and honoring farewells along the way

  • Built a business that learns alongside our clients—adapting, evolving, and co-creating every step of the way

We’ve been privileged to navigate and empower individuals and teams to step into their full potential — and we’re still learning right alongside you.

125+ global clients, 625+ engagements, reaching over 72,000 employees worldwide

Celebrating Nettie

A foundational part of our story is Nettie Nitzberg, a co-founder, strategist, and brilliant thought partner. Nettie has made the decision to begin a new chapter — moving into partial, and in the future, full, retirement.

Her leadership shaped the strategies and initiatives that brought our mission to life. While she’s stepping away from daily operations, Nettie remains deeply connected as:

  • A Strategic Advisor

  • A Lead Champion for our eLearning platform

  • A Brand Ambassador and lifelong advocate

We are so proud of her — and excited to support her new interior design business, Four56 Decorating.

What's Next: New Platforms, Broader Access

This moment isn’t just a reflection — it’s a launchpad. We’re excited to share two major evolutions:

1. Our very own eLearning Platform (Launches NOW)

  • Soon to be over 10 engaging, interactive eCourses (and growing!)

  • Topics include: Developing Your Direct Reports, the 5 C’s of Effective Leadership, Navigating Change, and more

  • Designed for all levels — emerging, rising, growing, advancing, and senior executives

  • Available via licensing for companies or as individuals through our new LMS (learning management system) at SatermanConnect.com

  • Open enrollment format for emerging and rising leaders

  • Built around our Arrive. Drive. Thrive. framework

  • Practical tools for people navigating their first steps as a people leader — or assessing if that path is right for them

We believe leadership development should be accessible, inclusive, and impactful — for everyone.

Looking Forward

Stepping into a new leadership role—or still finding your voice?
We are grateful — deeply — to every client, colleague, and contributor who has shaped our story to date. You’ve challenged us, trusted us, and grown with us.

Our vision remains clear: a world where inclusive leadership isn’t an initiative — it’s the standard.

So here’s to you — and to us.
To the next five years and more.
To learning that leads to impact.
And to leadership that brings everyone forward.

With appreciation and excitement,
Josh, Nettie, Michael, and the Saterman Connect Team
