It should be illegal to work at Shopify and not know Dayna. Life at Shopify without Dayna is a bit like being at a beach when it’s windy and the sand is whipping you in the face. Dayna is the sun—always warm and guaranteed to brighten your day. You want to work with the sun.
To help you understand exactly how Dayna would impact your day-to-day life at Shopify, here’s a quick breakdown of her personality traits:
📊 What the research shows:
👀 Why it matters:
- Smart. Whether it’s helping you level-up your work with her “salty thoughts and colorful commentary” or giving you advice on how to not blow a fuse at work, you want to hear what she has to say. She will lend an ear and offer her insights and you will be better for it.
- Hilarious. She will match your lunacy; she’ll hop on the emotional rollercoaster with you; and she’ll be cracking jokes the whole way. She makes stressful situations pretty, pretty entertaining.
- Creative. Her homes are professional movie stages that people pay money to stay in. She upholsters her couches herself. You are not this creative. But you’ll benefit from having her on your team. No boring ideas here.
- Caring & empathetic. She’s always willing to help, even though her own plate is overflowing. And she has an incredible ability to put herself in someone else’s shoes, even if she fundamentally disagrees with their behavior. We all need a person like this in our lives.
- Pure, unadulterated rage. LOL. This Dayna is fun. Just take my word for it.
