The Shake Up Podcast with Candice Harvey
Welcome to The Shake Up — your weekly dose of real talk with me, Performance Coach Candice Harvey. I’m a former corporate HR professional, and since 2018 I’ve been running my own shake-up business helping teams and individuals thrive.
I know Monday to Friday in the corporate world isn’t always cute outfits, hanging with your work bestie, and popping out real quick for a matcha—It’s more like surviving back-to-back meetings that should’ve been quick calls, dodging the people you can’t stand, and pretending you’re still productive by 3pm.
Most of the time, we’re stuck in our own heads, running on autopilot, watching the clock and wondering why we can’t just do the damn thing we said we were going to do.
That’s where me and my fancy rode mic come in. I’m here to shake you up — with straight-talking strategies, a smidge of humour, and my obsession with human behaviour in the workplace… because I get it, I did it for 15 years.
I’m a former corporate HR pro, and since 2018 I’ve been running my own shake-up business, helping teams and individuals go from “things are busy” to “things are GREAT!”
So, if you’re ready for a nudge at work, a perspective shift, or maybe even a loving kick up the bum… you’re in the right place.

102. What's Your Work Legacy? Why You Should Care About The Mark You're Leaving
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
From your very first job (yes — Hungry Jack’s counts) to the role you’re in right now…
Have you ever stopped to think about what people actually say about you once you’ve left a team?
In this episode, I invite you to reflect on your work legacy — the impact, reputation, and feeling you left behind long after the job title is gone.
Because a work legacy isn’t about KPIs, spreadsheets, or how early you arrived.
It’s about how you made people feel, the culture you contributed to, and whether you’re remembered as someone people genuinely miss… or not so much.
In this episode, I explore:
- What a work legacy really is (and what it’s not)
- Why most people never think about the mark they’re leaving
- Honest reflections from my own corporate HR career (including some cringe moments)
- Why your legacy follows you long after you resign, get made redundant, or move on
- How to Start Building Your Work Legacy in 2026
This episode is a reminder that your work legacy isn’t a future problem —
It’s a daily choice.
If 2026 is the year you want to show up differently at work — more intentionally, more consciously, and with pride — this episode is for you.
🎧 Listen in, reflect honestly, and start leaving a mark you’re proud of.
