Ep 92: The Corporate Chameleon Trap. Why changing yourself to fit in is killing your career growth.

Today, we’re talking about why changing yourself to fit in at work is quietly killing your career growth — and what to do instead. Because here’s the truth: most people have two versions of themselves — their work self and their real self...

Ep 91: Why Overwhelm Is Gold. The surprising upside of being stretched (and how to use it to level up).

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).

    BEST PODCAST EVER

    This podcast is NOTHING like I have ever heard before. Candice is one of the most incredible people I have met & her show is the perfect Friday listen. The episodes are motivating, funny & so inspiring & I can’t wait for more!

  • KJC

    I’d call this a WIN 🏆

    What could be as fun and thought provoking as a conversation with Candice Harvey? The Shake Up Podcast with Candice Harvey!!! It’s real life, raw and kind of like having Candice in your pocket 24/7 so you can call on her for that little spruce pep up anytime you like! That’s a win in my book! Do yourself a favour and have a listen 🤗

    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.

    Amazing!

    I can't express enough how incredible this podcast series is! It has been an absolute joy to listen to, and I'm sure it will resonate with so many others as well. 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. I can't help but share it with everyone I know, as it's too good not to be shared! Highly recommend listening to this amazing podcast series. You won't be disappointed!

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.

Want more than just listening?

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