  In this solo episode of Ways to Change Your Workplace, Prina Shah tackles a workplace problem many leaders recognise but often avoid addressing: the brilliant jerk.

• 172. Tiny Culture Change - Celebrate Growth Before Results with Prina Shah 23.05.2026 1分

  In this short but powerful episode of Ways to Change Your Workplace, Prina Shah explores why workplaces often celebrate outcomes while overlooking the growth that made those outcomes possible. Results matter - but they are usually lag indicators. If leaders only recognise the final achievement, people quickly learn that effort, learning, experimentation, and progress do not count unless they produce immediate success. Prina shares a practical culture shift leaders can implement this week: rec...

• 167. Tiny Culture Change - Stop Outsourcing Feedback: The Leadership Contract No One Talks About with Prina Shah 18.04.2026 2分

  In this short, sharp culture drop, Prina Shah challenges a common leadership habit that quietly erodes trust: outsourcing feedback. When leaders avoid difficult conversations and pass them to HR or others, they send two unintended messages — I can’t handle hard things and you can’t trust me. This episode is a direct call to action: If you lead people, giving feedback is not optional. It’s the job. Prina breaks down a simple, practical way to approach feedback conversations with clarity,...
• 166. Small Town Business: When the Boss Is the Culture with Simone Pickering and Prina Shah 11.04.2026 18分

  In this episode, I’m joined again by Simone Pickering, HR consultant and founder of The People & Culture Office, to unpack a reality many small town businesses don’t want to admit: Sometimes the culture is the business owner. And in regional and small town settings, that impact is even stronger. We explore what happens when leadership style, personality, and long-standing habits define the entire workplace culture — and why this often leads to stagnation, turnover, and growth ceilings. Th...
• 165. The Quiet Cost of Intellectual Loneliness at Work with Prina Shah 04.04.2026 17分

  In this episode of Ways to Change the Workplace, I explore something that a lot of people feel… but very few people actually name. Intellectual loneliness. It’s not about being socially isolated. It’s about being surrounded by people, yet rarely having conversations that stretch your thinking. The kind of conversations where ideas are explored, challenged, expanded. Instead, many workplaces unintentionally reward speed, certainty, and simplicity - and over time, deeper thinking starts to disa...
• 163. Tiny Culture Change - Kill 1 Stupid Rule - with Prina Shah 28.03.2026 2分

  In this short episode of Ways to Change Your Workplace, Prina Shah explores a simple but powerful leadership action: removing one pointless rule from your organisation. Every workplace has them - outdated policies, unnecessary approvals, or processes that exist simply because “that’s how it’s always been done.” While they may seem harmless, these rules quietly send a dangerous message: that bureaucracy matters more than common sense. Prina explains how eliminating even one unnecessary rule ca...
• 164. Breaking the Silence – Understanding Coercive Control with CEO of the Domestic Abuse Resource and Training Group (DART Group), Jolene Ellat and Prina Shah 21.03.2026 43分

  Coercive control is one of the most misunderstood forms of abuse. It rarely begins with obvious violence. Instead, it often starts subtly — through behaviours that slowly isolate, manipulate, and erode a person's confidence and independence. In this powerful episode of Ways to Change Your Workplace, Prina Shah is joined by Joelene Ellat, CEO and Founder of the Domestic Abuse Resource and Training Institute (DART Institute). Jolene's the CEO of the Domestic Abuse Resource and Training Group (D...

• 161. Is Your Development at Work Arrested? 07.03.2026 13分

  In this solo episode of Ways to Change Your Workplace, Prina Shah explores a powerful and uncomfortable question: Is your professional development at work arrested? Using the metaphor of “Arrested Development” (inspired by the band), Prina unpacks what happens when growth stalls, motivation dips, and learning quietly stops. She challenges listeners to reflect on whether they are truly evolving — or simply repeating. This episode dives into the warning signs of stagnation, the long-term risks ...
• 160. Kick Imposter Syndrome In the Nuts with Prina Shah 28.02.2026 13分

  In this solo episode of The Ways To Change Your Workplace Podcast, Prina Shah deep dives into imposter syndrome – what it really is, why it shows up regardless of success, and how it quietly sabotages confidence, wellbeing, and career growth. Drawing on psychology, lived experience, coaching stories, and insights from Adam Grant, Prina reframes imposter syndrome as data, not a verdict. This episode is a grounded, no-BS exploration of self-doubt, perfectionism, burnout, and the inner critic – ...
