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 wasn’t always this fired up…

There was a time when Mondays felt like groundhog day — I was bored, unfulfilled, and bringing that energy home. Not because of the job, but because I didn’t have the tools I now teach.

I resisted personal development for years — it all felt a bit “woo-woo” to me. But eventually, I realised the problem wasn’t work. It was how I was showing up for it.

I called coaching fluff for years. And then… I became a coach. The irony isn’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 aren’t broken — they’re just busy, disconnected, and running on empty.

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

You don’t need to quit your job. You need someone who’s been there — and isn’t afraid to call it like it is.

No fluff. No trust falls. Just results that last. You’re. Welcome.

This isn’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 — helping teams perform, focus, and thrive. And yes… 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 — that’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 — especially at work.

The boring stuff

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

I wrote a book

The Shake Up is not another self-help book. 

Because you and I both know you’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 you’re living.
