CLICK HERE for Word document
Viewed as an expert in the world of balancing motherhood and career, Diane Lang holds a variety of positions, in numerous mediums, that maintain her proficiency in the motherhood-career arena.
Recently adding author to her list of credentials, Lang’s first book Baby Steps: the Path from Motherhood to Career, was introduced last year. Baby Steps helps women sort through the thinking and second-guessing that accompanies returning to the workforce, and stresses striving for balance, health and happiness rather than "having it all".
As a speaker, Lang presents her workshop "The Mom Series" in NY metro area locations, to assist mothers returning to work. Seminar topics range from the highly personal, including postpartum depression, overcoming guilt and finding a new identity in the workplace, as well as the practical, such as interviewing, networking and dressing for success. The information she compiled for the seminar was the impetus for her Baby Steps book. Additionally, Lang is a regular contributor to working mother and parenthood blogs such as MomsontheMove.com and MommyTalk.com.
Alongside her work in the motherhood-career forum, Lang works as an Adjunct Professor in Psychology at Montclair State University and Centenary College. Her college work also includes mentoring students for individual career counseling and personal issue advisement. Lang also serves as co-host and guest expert on the Expat radio show, a global radio show for and about expatriates, discussing topics such as the stress of moving abroad.
A therapist at the Universal Institute in Livingston, NJ, Lang counsels patients with traumatic brain injury and substance abuse issues. Her clinical experience includes patients with different forms of mental illness, physical and emotional abuse, and marriage and relationship problems, among others.
Lang made her debut as a therapist for ourprisoner.com, a reality based Internet show, where she held weekly sessions with the "prisoner" dealing with identity, insecurity and emotional abuse issues. Her other on camera credits include Host for Generation X-tinct, Absolute Fitness and various educational videos.
A Mother to six year-old daughter Lauren, Lang’s academic credentials include an M.A. in Counseling and a B.A. in Liberal Arts from the New York Institute of Technology.
