FOR ON-THE-GO HEALTHCARE STAFFING EXEC SARAH SNETZER, FLEXIBILITY IS KEY. WHAT I DO: “I run daily operations for Sadiant Health, an on-demand app and web-based clinician staffing firm.” STYLE ICON: “Michelle Obama; she is a risk-taker and loves to experiment with fashion. She emphasizes function and affordability over form, and she always looks classy with a little bit of edge. I love that mix.” ON THE JOB: “I am always on the go, and no hour in the day is the same. I could be with a customer, working alongside our operations team, or running a technology demo with a prospect. This variety requires my clothing to be both yoga-pant comfortable and fashion-forward.”

STYLE STRATEGY: “I love tops that can be easily dressed up and down, and I love dresses with pockets. Pearl earrings and the right shoes can completely change my outfit from Zoom-call to customermeeting appropriate.”
STYLE ESSENTIALS: “I never leave home without earrings, mascara, and an extra blouse. I’m always prepared, just in case a drink spills on the way to an important meeting. I believe in always having a plan B!”
GO-TO LOOK: “Dressy dark jeans with a long, monochromatic blouse and boots. My favorites are Frye cowboy boots. Having been born and raised in Texas, these are essential.”
STYLE DEFINED: “Urban essential. I love M.M.Lafleur; every piece is modern and extremely comfortable.”
HOW I ACCESSORIZE: “I always wear earrings and simple, small necklaces. I am not into a lot of bling or flash. And

because I am a redhead, I try to accentuate that with purple lowlights. My colorist Michael Beckett is great with redheads.” DOWN-TIME LOOK: “I love to exercise and practice yoga; so, in my spare time, you’ll find me in yoga pants and tops. I also love the TIEM shoes that I use for my Peloton, which I ride every day to help with stress.” FAVORITE STORES: “M.M.LaFleur and Beyond Yoga for every day. I also love small boutiques like Scout and Molly’s at The Shops at Legacy in Plano and Sunny Paige in downtown Frisco.”
When Hurricane Erin hit eastern Florida in 1995, a teenage Brendan McGuire (now president of PNC Financial Services) and two friends were finishing dinner shifts at a local restaurant. As the storm approached, the trio headed for the beach. “We changed into board shorts and ran into the water with our bodyboards, screaming like maniacs,” McGuire recalls. “The waves were crashing violently. It was a battle to get out to where they were breaking.” He caught a wave back to the coastline, where he was thrown onto the sand, causing an abraision above his eye. “I was bleeding and rolling over, gasping for air,” he says. “When I looked up, I saw my buddy. We high-fived then went back in.” McGuire still surfs today. “Surviving that experience was definitely a confidence booster. Even now, if I’m in the water, I’ll find ways to challenge myself.”—Mariah Terry
