Candice Harvey is the woman you call when your people, leaders, or entire organisation need a serious shake up – the kind that drives real action and better results.

With 20+ years’ experience across HR, people leadership, and senior roles in Australia, the UK, and the USA, Candice has worked inside the very environments she now helps improve – from high-pressure corporate teams to people at all levels navigating change, pressure, and culture challenges.

After years in senior HR roles, she saw the same pattern repeat: smart people, clear intentions… and very little follow-through. That insight reshaped her career and now underpins everything she does – helping people move from awareness to actual behaviour change.

Candice delivers high-impact workshops, keynotes, and MC’ing at live events that lift energy in the room, challenge thinking, and turn insight into action. Her style is direct, practical, and built to create momentum that sticks long after the session ends.

She is also an Amazon Best Selling Author of The Shake Up and host of The Shake Up Podcast, where she explores performance, mindset, and what it really takes to create lasting change.

Candice is known for cutting through the noise, saying what others won’t, and helping people leave the room thinking differently – and actually doing something about it.

Keynote Topics

High-energy talks that engage audiences and deliver insights they’ll use. Every keynote is tailored to the event, audience, and outcomes – no cookie-cutter presentations.

Energy Is Everything – Because time management is useless if you’re exhausted.

For teams and leaders feeling flat, busy, or running on autopilot. Unpacks why energy is contagious, how to fuel it on purpose, and the shifts that transform productivity, collaboration, and culture.

• Perfect for: teams feeling flat, leaders managing burnout, anyone running on empty

Not Done Yet – When everyone else is coasting, you’re just getting started.

Momentum beats motivation, every time. For organisations that refuse to coast, settle, or lose steam. A blend of strategy, humour, and real talk on finishing strong, keeping standards high, and creating lasting progress.

• Perfect for: end-of-year events, mid-year resets, anytime motivation dips

Discomfort Is Key – If it feels uncomfortable, you’re probably in exactly the right place.

Reframes discomfort as the ultimate growth strategy – why the things we avoid are often the gateway to better results, stronger leadership, and more fulfilment at work.

• Perfect for: leadership summits, change initiatives, teams playing it too safe

MC Events:

Keeps event energy high from start to finish – no awkward scripted transitions. Reads the room, adjusts on the fly, makes every speaker look good (even the nervous ones), and handles the unexpected with humour, not panic.

Workshop Topics:

The Energiser (Fuelled by eDISC)
Work better, stress less, understand more.
For teams who know the goal isn’t for everyone to be the same. Walk away with clear insight into what makes people tick, real strategies for working with people wired differently to you, and tools to turn clashes into collaboration.

Not Done Yet
Finish strong, because you’re not done yet.
For teams coasting toward year-end or stuck in “we’ll do it next year” mode. Walk away with crystal-clear priorities that actually matter, a plan to smash through obstacles and finish strong, plus a fresh hit of motivation and accountability.

Reboot Reset Refocus
The ultimate team recharge.
For teams feeling off-track – even the best teams hit bumps. Walk away with insight into the secret ingredient that makes workplaces truly great, a clear reset plan (team and individual), and a fresh surge of energy to own what’s next.

Strengths Fuelled Future
Play to your strengths and watch productivity take off.
Perfect for teams with untapped potential or anyone feeling a bit “meh” about their role. Walk away with clear insight into personal and team strengths, strategies to spend more time doing what you do best, and a strengths-based action plan.

Discomfort Is Key
Because growth doesn’t happen in the cosy comfy zone.
For teams that have plateaued or play it safe and need a nudge (or a loving shove). Walk away with a new relationship with discomfort – seeing it as progress, not pain – confidence to take risks and speak up, plus momentum to keep growing. (For those willing to get uncomfortable)

Happiness First
Happier humans = higher performance. Always.
Perfect for teams who could use a mindset shake up and a morale boost. Walk away with clarity on what happiness and fulfilment look like for them (in and out of work), practical habits to lift energy, focus, and culture, and a renewed sense of purpose and connection.

Chaos to Calm
From freaking out to focused. The stress detox every team needs.
Perfect for teams who are busy, overwhelmed, or struggling to prioritise. Walk away with a 3-step method to ditch overwhelm and take control, tools to prioritise and manage competing demands, and mindset shifts that replace stress with calm and focus.

Direct Feedback
Honest insights. Real growth. Zero fluff.
For managers serious about leading better and building real trust. Walk away with honest, actionable insights straight from their team, a clear picture of what’s working and what’s not, and a plan to level up communication, culture, and leadership impact. (Loving this shake up since 2009)
