## Story

Franchise brand Saladworks VP of Growth Jena Henderson was featured in an article highlighting women leadership in the restaurant sector. She elaborated on her advice for women trying to make their way into the field.

"Make yourself professionally uncomfortable. The greatest achievements I've had in my career are because I took on a role or a project that I was unfamiliar with. I had to learn it before I could make it better," said Henderson to FastCasual.

com. "This intellectual curiosity allowed me to build not only my professional level of expertise but it has allowed me to leave every department better than when I found it. When you aren't encumbered by prior knowledge or an antiquated way of doing things, you are able to find more effective and efficient ways of doing business.

Your success will translate to the organization's success."
