Nina Dar. The Change Troubleshooter
Change doesn’t only happen on big stages or inside shiny transformation programmes.
It happens in real lives, real communities and often far from the spotlight.
Nina Dar: The Change Troubleshooter is a podcast that gives space to those stories.
Hosted by Nina Dar, transformation leader, executive coach and founder of Cheeky Monkey Business Solutions, the podcast features conversations with people who’ve driven change from the grassroots up, challenged the status quo, or quietly shaped the world in ways you may never have heard of, but should.
Some episodes are planned. Some are wonderfully accidental. All are real.
In 2026, the podcast leans into the themes of Nina’s book,
Your Move: The Human Reset 100 Coaching Moments for Conscious Transformation in the Age of AI, exploring what it really means to stay human, awake and courageous in a world accelerating faster than our systems, and sometimes our thinking.
No hype. No hero worship.
Just honest stories, human insight and the belief that real change starts closer to the ground than we’re usually told.

Trailer for Episode 4: Can we be Fans of the Companies we work for?
Can you turn a workplace into a fanbase? Nina and her guest, former FanatiCo employee, James Ashworth tried to do this. They take a look back to discuss what they learned from that experience.
In this episode Nina and James discuss why we fake it when we talk about changing culture at work. In 2015, with Steve Smith (chairman of Ear to the Ground) they saw the opportunity to combine their expertise and created FanatiCo. Their mission was to turn workplaces into fanbases. Despite the fact that they did some fabulous work with amazing brands, the element of turning workplaces into fanbases was more of an exciting and thought-provoking conversation rather than a strategy the corporate world wanted to deploy. This was in stark contrast to the fan intelligence work Steve was doing with Ear to the Ground which was being taken very seriously and Nina being used as a change troubleshooter to sort out change that hadn't delivered successfully.
