This fundamental value permeates every aspect of the company, ensuring that all advice and guidance are delivered with unwavering honesty, always, coupled with ethical rigor.
Complementing this foundation is Sarah's approach to practical leadership. This isn't about abstract theories – it's about providing clear, actionable guidance rooted in real-world experience.
Sarah Windham, the founder and owner of Anchor and Ethos, leads with a commitment to building organizations guided by trust and rooted in principles. Her HR career began at the University of Iowa, collaborating closely with department heads to support strategic personnel initiatives. In 2017, she joined BlackhawkDM, where she developed and implemented human resource guidelines that helped shape a more compassionate and people-first workplace.
Our dedication to integrity and practical leadership defines our very ethos. We aim to be a steadfast partner for our clients, providing a reliable anchor in the often-turbulent waters of HR. By leading with conviction and truth, the company empowers businesses to build strong, ethical, and successful workplaces.
To be the trusted HR partner that enables thriving businesses through ethical guidance and effective people strategies.
To empower small to medium-sized businesses with practical HR solutions that build strong teams and foster positive workplace cultures, grounded in integrity and trust.
Sarah Windham graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2004 – Hook ’em Horns! She has been married to her husband, Jonathan, since 2005. They have three amazing kids, three dogs, and two cats – all of whom think they run the house. Spoiler: they do.
When Sarah is not juggling work and family, you can find her reading or doing CrossFit. She lives by a “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take – Wayne Gretzky – Michael Scott” mentality and tries to channel “I am Beyoncé, always” energy whenever possible.
Life’s messy, loud, and hilarious – and Sarah wouldn’t trade it for anything.
