About Candice Harvey | Performance Coach & Speaker

From corporate zombie to team energiser

Keynote speaker, workshop facilitator, MC, podcaster, author, and your go-to for getting teams clarity, momentum, and results that actually stick.

I wasnโ€™t always this fired upโ€ฆ

There was a time when Mondays felt like groundhog day โ€” I was bored, unfulfilled, and bringing that energy home. Not because of the job, but because I didnโ€™t have the tools I now teach.

I resisted personal development for years โ€” it all felt a bit โ€œwoo-wooโ€ to me. But eventually, I realised the problem wasnโ€™t work. It was how I was showing up for it.

I called coaching fluff for years. And thenโ€ฆ I became a coach. The irony isnโ€™t lost on me.

I actually did the work.

Confidence up. Clarity locked in. Life and career aligned.

What I learned changed everything. Not just for me, but for how I now help teams. Because most teams arenโ€™t broken โ€” theyโ€™re just busy, disconnected, and running on empty.

I help them refocus, re-energise, and remember why they do what they do.

You donโ€™t need to quit your job. You need someone whoโ€™s been there โ€” and isnโ€™t afraid to call it like it is.

No fluff. No trust falls. Just results that last. Youโ€™re. Welcome.

This isnโ€™t my first rodeo, promise.

20+

Years of people & performance experience. Years in HR, leading teams worldwide, with a side of questionable British and Texan accents.

4,950+

Hours of 1:1 performance coaching. Helping directors, team leaders & employees level up, crush the busy, and build a life and career they genuinely LOVE!

88+

Students through my Peak ST8 group program. Turning overwhelm into action, mindset into momentum, and work/life into something you genuinely enjoy.

300+

Corporate workshops and counting. Injecting insight and practical solutions into workplaces โ€” helping teams perform, focus, and thrive. And yesโ€ฆ I'm hilarious too.

My philosophy

You don't fix low energy with more training. You fix it with honesty, laughter, and a proper shake-up. When teams love their work again, the whole business moves faster.

The human stuff


Read the shirt

Vegan. Decaf. 0% alc. Kids & pets free household. Still a hoot to be around (just ask me).

Real convos

Give her a decaf coffee, a real conversation, and someone ready to get uncomfortable in the best way โ€” thatโ€™s my love language.

At least one

Firm believer every presentation needs at least one well-placed swear word.

No coasting

Driven by the belief that life's too short to coast โ€” especially at work.

The boring stuff

(Useful, yes. But the real flex is the thousands of humans Iโ€™ve helped move from coasting to caring.)

What I Actually Do now

  • The Energiser

    Team alignment workshop (eDISC-based)

    Every team needs to start here. In just three hours, your people will gain powerful self-awareness, understand their teammates on a whole new level, and leave with the tools to communicate better, collaborate faster, and perform stronger โ€” together.

  • The Shake Ups

    Team development workshops

    When your team needs a reset, a fresh perspective, or a serious kick of momentum. These sessions shake up how people think, work, and show up โ€” so the energy and performance boost actually stick.

  • Keynotes & MC

    Event leadership

    Conferences, award nights, corporate events. High-energy keynotes and MC work that keeps your audience engaged, energised, and inspired. Because the right voice can turn a good event into a great one.

  • โ€œCandice is personable and charismatic, while delivering hard-hitting insights that truly land. She takes the time to understand the business, then tailors the workshop so the team feels as though it's been designed just for them.โ€

    Scott Baker
    Managing Director, Baker Advice Group

  • โ€œThe feedback from staff was overwhelmingly positive, and it provided the perfect boost we needed to carry us through the final stretch of what has been a full-on year. Candice's energy and humour are truly unmatched; her positivity is infectious and left everyone feeling uplifted and motivated.โ€

    Tara Watson
    Executive Manager, People and Culture, See Differently

  • โ€œCandice has held multiple workshops for the OzeIT team over the last 12 months and without a doubt, what the team has gained is invaluable. Her ability to communicate and involve everyone is out of this world.โ€

I wrote a book

Because you and I both know youโ€™re not here to collect cute shelf decorations.

This book is a proper shake-up. 24 chapters that make you rethink what actually matters, laugh-snort at the realness, and get brutally honest about the life youโ€™re living.
