EPISODE GUIDE

April 1 marks the calendar for office mandates saying it’s time to go back to working in office 4 to 5 days a week. But for many, this return feels like more than a logistical shift.

It’s emotional. It’s generational. And it’s bringing up big questions about purpose, productivity, and power.

In this episode, Lisa unpacks why the return-to-office conversation hits such a nerve and how we can make this moment work for everyone.
- Why returning feels so personal and what generational tensions have to do with it.
- The pros and cons of working from home vs in office.
- What employees and leaders can do to navigate this transition.
- How dressing for work has changed and how to find your new “power look” (yes, sneakers count).

Whether you’re remote forever or back to a badge-in culture, this episode offers tangible strategies for navigating this modern workplace moment with confidence.
