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? It's too embarrassing to list them all. Some that really know me have seen the TV schedule in the Outlook Calendar!   

What are your favorite things to do on the weekend? walk my dog, Pilates, run, cook (and eat!), catch up with my friends on the phone, long un-needed trips to Target, craft-ernoon (knitting, painting, making jewelry), hanging out with my friends, reading a great book, watching TiVo from the week, doing yoga, planting flowers, going out to dinner, going to a patio for some cocktails and laughs, going to coffee shops, shopping, one-liner t-shirt making, and enjoying the quality of life! 

Your office is on fire, what do you rescue? I guess my bosses (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, phone, 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, expired dairy, and any kind of small bug

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

How many times have you been in a car accident? Enough… I do count my blessings…
