From Medical Field to Bar Management: A Mother's Inspiring Journey
Manage episode 500997174 series 3408852
Dreams can materialize faster than you imagine when you combine determination with clear vision. Shonda's remarkable journey proves this as she shares how she transformed her life by leaving a 25-year career in medicine to pursue an opportunity in hospitality. What began as a practical decision for a single mother needing steady income quickly evolved into something much more significant.
"My goal in less than a year is to become management," Shonda boldly declared during her interview at Copeland's. The universe responded to her ambition, and within just three months, she achieved what many might consider impossible. Rising from server to catering manager and eventually to front of house and bar manager, her trajectory showcases the power of intention and hard work. Beyond personal achievement, this career pivot completely changed her financial situation, turning around life for both her and her daughter "110%" as she describes it.
The success story extends beyond rapid promotion to highlight the importance of workplace culture. Copeland's, a family-owned business, has cultivated an environment where employees routinely stay for decades – a testament to genuine care and connection. "We're owned by a family and so we treat everybody else as family," Shonda explains, touching on why the restaurant has become her second home. Now she's extending that sense of community through regular Friday night events offering "great music, great people, great food" and a chance to unwind in a safe, welcoming space. Want to experience this unique atmosphere for yourself? Join Shonda and the team every other Friday – your weekend deserves this perfect start.
