Brad Sattin

Meet the Lead Trainer

For thirty years, Brad Sattin watched how leaders communicated under pressure — and what happened when they didn’t. As a four-time Emmy Award-winning journalist who covered crises, controversies, and high-stakes public moments across ABC, CBS, CNN, and Fox, he built a front-row understanding of what effective communication actually looks like when everything is on the line. Today he brings that perspective directly to school administrators, government leaders, and communications teams who deserve to be genuinely prepared.
