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.

What does an Activist look like?
Welcome season 2 of The Change Troubleshooter – The sustainability Season.
Today’s episode is called: What does an activist look like?
What image is conjured up we hear the word activist? We may think of dirty, straggly haired ultra extremist radical types, chained to railings or dug in in tunnels, risking life and limb and even arrest and imprisonment, in defence of their true and noble cause, so strong are their convictions.
But if we’re honest with ourselves, we know they’re not all like that. So, what does an activist look like?
Nina spoke to Zoe Cohen, Director of Shine Coaching and Consultancy, a highly experienced Master Coach who has worked with senior leaders across every sector in the economy.
She’s run her successful coaching practice for over 10 years and has been passionate about sustainability all her life.
Zoe is also an active member of Extinction Rebellion.
