During a 2000+ strong sales convention - by the legendary sales trainer, Tom Hopkins - in London in the early 1990s, she was recognized and lauded by Hopkins for her answer to his question, "What business are you in?". Other professionals were saying Finance, Cars, Insurance, Double-glazing, etc. When the mic was put to Sarah's mouth, she said "The People Business"!
Human Resources = human capital = simply, people.
