Today’s episode is a big one — and it’s all about getting ahead before 2026 arrives. As someone whose job is to help people perform better — at work, in life, and everything in between — I’ve noticed a pattern. Most people want next year to be better but aren’t sure how to make that happen.

So this episode is your head start: I’m sharing the 5 things high-performing individuals and teams will prioritise in 2026 to make it their best year yet.

Plus, I’ve updated this year’s Goal Getting Guide with a fresh look to help you crush 2026 like never before. Because let’s be honest: setting goals is easy. Doing the work? Not so much.

What to expect

Not your typical business podcast.

Every week

I chat about human behaviour (why you do what you do, and why you don't do what you really want to), share what's happening in my world, and have conversations with people doing interesting things.

You'll get

  • Honest insights on performance and leadership

  • Behind-the-scenes from workshops and coaching

  • Practical hacks you wish you knew sooner

  • Conversations that make you think differently

  • Zero boring corporate speak (you’re welcome)

Conversations with people worth listening to

Got a story worth sharing? I'm always looking for guests who challenge conventional thinking, have failed spectacularly and lived to tell about it, and can share practical strategies (not just inspiration).

  • Little Keyz

    Knowing when to push and when to pause

    I only discovered Candice recently, and this episode hit hard — uncomfortable in the best way. Her mix of honesty, experience and practical advice made me reflect on how I get in my own way. It’s rare to find someone who can challenge and encourage you at the same time. Brilliant listen.

  • Sumthin@

    Full of energy

    Wow. Love this podcast, Candice is so full of energy and enthusiasm, you can’t help but feel enthusiastic and excited right alongside her. It felt like she was speaking directly to me, I even felt a slightly guilty when she was describing exactly what I do when trying to get motivated. Definitely worth a listen.

  • ClaireMFoster

The topics covered are thought-provoking, and the storytelling is masterful. Each episode keeps me captivated from start to finish, and I find myself eagerly waiting for the next one.

About your host

The one doing all the talking

I'm Candice, and I'm allergic to boring business podcasts.

I've spent 20+ years in HR, coaching, and running workshops that people actually remember. I started this podcast because I wanted real conversations about what actually works — not recycled advice from people who've never worked a 9–5 or had a meltdown in a meeting room.

If you're after motivational quotes, this isn't it. But if you want honest talk that makes you think differently? You're in the right place.

Every episode connects to the work I do with teams in workshops. If something resonates, let's bring it to life in your workplace.
