Sarah Whitten

I started working at FIVE STAR the beginning of 2006. I was hired to do marketing - the first attempt in intentional marketing at FIVE STAR. I have a back ground in agency business, so I was really excited to transition over to the client side. Little did I know what I was getting myself into... FIVE STAR is a company made up of hard-working, self-motivated people that think innovatively, see the big picture and truly love the work they are doing. That is a rare find. When you find a company that has all of these things with endless resources to grow - you seem to adapt to that bell curve of growth and run with it.. as far as it can take you! Oh, but don't get me wrong, working with the FIVE STAR staff is only half of it - we have at our fingertips some of the most amazing and remarkable speakers within the industry! Some are famous by being experts in their field, or by living their dreams, or by research or fame. It's truly an extraordinary business.. and to be able to work with these great speakers everyday - it makes my job meaningful! To market these great people and help guide our sales team to promote them with the perfect-fit client, makes my job successful!

Who inspires you? Positive, high-energy people that make a difference.. or at least put a smile on my face!

Where did you go to school? Drake University – GO BULLDOGS!

Name something (or multiple some things) you do that make you unique. I chew on pens. I spray butter all my food. My day is incomplete without a laugh so hard I cry. I add multiple exclamation marks &  smileys to almost every email. Oh, and my little dog Corbin quacks! (That makes him unique! :) 

What is your favorite television show? Sex and the City, Friends, Entourage, Modern Family, So You Think You Can Dance, The Office, Chelsea Lately, the E! Channel... okay, it sounds like all I do is watch TV... =)

What are your favorite things to do on the weekend? walk my dog around the Plaza & to the library, Pilates, working-out, ZUMBA!, running, yoga on Sundays, cooking (and eating!), catch up with my friends, long un-needed trips to Target, crafternooning, reading a great book, watching TiVo from the week, planting flowers, going out to dinner with friends, wine, going to a patio for some cocktails and laughs, going to coffee shops, people watching, spending time with my family & friends and all those that bring out the best in me, shopping, volunteering, and enjoying the quality of life! 

Your office is on fire, what do you rescue? I guess my boss (does that prompt me for an immediate raise?!)  =) I  would definitely save all the people I work with - if I had time, I would then save all the other things - computer, iPhone, planner, pictures, and my gas station art collection! 

What keeps you going? Life and the people that are in mine.

What are your worst fears? Heights, poor health, poverty, hunger, identity theft (so glad we have a partnership with LifeLock), expired dairy, and any kind of small (or large) bug

What is your favorite drink? It really depends on the time of day…

What is your favorite quote? "I do not like that man. I must get to know him better" - Abraham Lincoln, “To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world.” - Brandi Snyder, “It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice." - anonymous

How many times have you been in a car accident? More than I should… I do count my blessings, but I'd also suggest if you see me driving on the road, to go the other direction! (I think I'm the reason they stereotype women drivers as 'bad' - sorry ladies!!)

What is your favorite daily thing to do? Laugh. A lot. 

What is your favorite dessert? Cookies!!! Cookie cake. Cupcakes. Cake. Chocolate. Candy.

Favorite book? The Tipping Point - actually, all Malcom Gladwell; Eat, Pray, Love; The Happiness Project; The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Series; all John Grisham; all James Patterson; all of Chelsea Handler; all Jodi Picoult; the Twilight Series... I love to read, so there are too many too list!

Favorite movie? When Harry Met Sally hands-down.

Favorite thing to get out of a vending machine? Baked Lays
