10: Professionally Stretching and Growing with Restaurant Consultant, Sarah White
Sometimes your career takes you to places you never considered or dreamed, but are so grateful it did because you are doing work you genuinely enjoy and love. For Sarah White, having a career in the restaurant industry wasn’t something she sought out to do, but her journey led her there, and she’s found her passion. Additionally, Sarah recently announced she is running for political office as a district representative for Virginia.
Listen to Sarah’s story and how she clearly defines where she can add the greatest value to her organization, clients, and customers. Her passion is infectious, and it’s that kind of energy we could all hope for in our careers.
John gets on the mic to talk to Sarah White about how she got involved in the restaurant business, helps restaurant owners transform their restaurants from “good” to “great,” and her desire to pursue her passion for political office in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Also, Sarah shares her big takeaways from being a member of John’s #SHOWUPChallenge and how it helped her define what it means for her to #SHOWUP in her career and her life.
