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.

We naturally gravitate towards people who think like us, move like us, communicate like us. And the friction? It usually comes from difference - different pace, different priorities, different styles.
But here’s the shaker...
Your biggest growth at work won’t come from finding your bestie.
It will come from learning how to work well with people you don’t naturally click with.
In this episode, we discuss:
• Why career growth and influence come from adaptability - not just competence
• How the DISC framework (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, Conscientiousness) explains workplace friction
• Why behaviour makes more sense - and feels less personal - when you understand communication styles
• Practical ways to work more effectively with each DISC style (even the one that drives you bananas)
• How expanding your range makes you more trusted, respected, and promotable
This episode is your reminder that you don’t need to like everyone you work with - but you do need to learn how to work with them.
Because the people who go far in their careers aren’t the ones with the least friction.
They’re the ones who know how to move through it with skill and self-awareness.
If you can work well with the person who tests you the most?
You can work well with anyone.
