LGC Stories<\/em> | Meet Brandy Slusher, Regional VP and Director of Training and Professional Development<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Brandy Slusher grew up in the small town of Winchester, Indiana, and began her career managing food and beverage operations at a family-owned bowling alley in Noblesville. After nine years in that role, she discovered a passion for restaurants and the hospitality industry. But when the business changed ownership, Brandy decided it was time for a new chapter.<\/p>\n

While exploring her options, Brandy came across a posting for bartending positions at LGC. She applied, but during the process, she was invited to interview for an Assistant Manager position instead. After her second interview, a few days of silence led her to accept a waitressing job in the meantime.<\/p>\n

However, fate intervened. When she returned home after her first day of waitress training, she found an email waiting for her\u2014a job offer from Kim McGuire, who was then the Indianapolis Branch VP. Trusting her instincts, Brandy decided to take a chance on LGC\u2014and she\u2019s never looked back.<\/p>\n

From Doubt to Determination<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Brandy\u2019s first week on the job wasn\u2019t easy. The work felt unfamiliar, and she questioned whether she\u2019d made the right choice. But something inside her said that LGC was where she was meant to be. With determination and resilience, she pushed through those early doubts, working hard and proving her value to the team.<\/p>\n

Since joining LGC in 2015, Brandy has worn many hats, including Staffing Manager, Branch Manager, Area Manager, and now Regional VP and Director of Training and Professional Development. After nine years, her enthusiasm for her role hasn\u2019t waned.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love working with my teams and being able to help guide them in their careers to be the most successful they can be,\u201d she shares. \u201cI also love helping with training in our company and getting to see new managers grow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leadership Built on Experience<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Brandy\u2019s success at LGC is rooted in her determination and perseverance especially when things are challenging or uncomfortable. This perspective makes her an exceptional leader and mentor, especially for those just starting their journey with us. She believes that strong leadership is key to professional growth, and she credits her own mentors for shaping her career:<\/p>\n
