With all this messaging about...

  15. 030: Are We Perfect Yet?

    But why? Diana + Paige explore the motivation behind building a personal brand. To look cool? To "succeed"? To reach your highest potential? (Uh oh.)

  16. 029: Understanding Branding

    What is branding, anyway, and what does it have to do with you? It's not (just) about logos and wardrobes. Diana + Paige define branding for both people and things, and it might not be what you think. Problem solving, La Croix, necklines — in this episode of A Workplace.

  23. 023: All Those Times We Did It

    Ever wonder how you got here? Not in an existential way, but in a "How am I this much of a biz bada$$?" kind of way. Diana + Paige reflect on their biggest milestones throughout their careers. And yes, that includes the Lemonade Stand. Welcome to (3 decades of) A Workplace.

In and...

  30. 016: Think Bigger! Actually, Hush.

    Which one is it? Sometimes, we need to get out of our own heads. Sometimes, the best thing to do is take a bath. When to take center stage in the room, and when to just listen?
