What if disruption isn’t something to fear — but something to initiate?

In this solo episode of Change Unfiltered, Angela Scott reflects on recent conversations and answers listener questions on what it really means to create intentional change, especially when you're at a career crossroads.

Angela shares her personal insights on:

• Why shaking up the status quo is often the first step to real growth

• How discomfort can be a sign you're heading in the right direction

• Embracing change with resilience — even when the next step isn’t clear

• Creating your own definition of success (not someone else’s)

Whether you’re exploring a career transition or simply questioning what’s next, this short episode is a reminder that the most meaningful change often starts with a decision to think differently.

“Change is when you're constantly stimulated to think. No two days are the same."

In this episode of Change Unfiltered, I speak with Rosi Petrova Charalambous — a tech leader whose journey spans countries, cultures, and bold career shifts.

Originally from Bulgaria and now based in the UK, Rosi shares how she has navigated accent bias, stepped into leadership, and learned to balance personal growth with professional ambition — all while raising a family and staying grounded in her values.

In this conversation, we cover:

• Embracing unexpected opportunities and stepping into leadership

• Facing and overcoming bias in high-performance environments

• Using AI tools to simplify and humanise work

• Balancing career ambition with personal wellbeing and motherhood

• Redefining success across different seasons of life

This episode is a rich, honest reflection on resilience, identity, and leading on your own terms.

"Life is like a bicycle, to keep your balance you need to keep moving forward."

In this episode of Change Unfiltered, I sit down with Magalie Heraud — a global leader in tech, sustainability, and innovation — to talk about the power of optimism, ethical leadership, and evolving with purpose.

With a career that spans the UK, France, Germany, and Switzerland, Magalie brings a fresh perspective on how to navigate growth without losing your values. From driving responsible AI initiatives to coaching startups, her work is grounded in both future-thinking and human connection.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Navigating career change through learning, optimism, and action

• What ethical innovation looks like in fast-moving industries

• The role of community and connection in professional evolution

• How to stay grounded while balancing ambition and wellbeing

This is a thoughtful, future-facing conversation about how we build meaningful careers in a rapidly changing world.

* This episode was recorded when Change Unfiltered was still taking shape. It leans more into the themes of ethical innovation and purpose-led leadership, but Magalie’s journey speaks to the deeper question so many of us ask mid-career:

How do I stay aligned, inspired, and growing in a changing world?

“Change is evolution... a deeper understanding and connection to who I am."

– Rachel Davies

In this episode of Change Unfiltered, I speak with Rachel Davies, a health coach and wellbeing strategist who works with high-performing professionals to manage stress, improve energy, and integrate wellness into busy lives.

After navigating her own health challenges, Rachel discovered a deep connection between physical wellbeing and professional sustainability. Her work focuses on helping leaders prioritise health not as an afterthought, but as a foundation for long-term success.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Why health is a strategic lever for leadership and career longevity

• The link between stress, productivity, and identity

• Practical ways to bring wellness into a demanding professional life

• How career change can be a gateway to redefining what vitality means

Whether you're at a crossroads or rethinking how you want to show up in the world, this episode offers grounded insights for sustaining your energy and impact.

She’s not only an advocate for women in the workplace but also actively involved in local politics, bringing her values-led approach into the wider community. Claire’s story reflects the intersection of professional ambition and personal conviction — and how leadership, when rooted in trust and vulnerability, can create meaningful change.

In this conversation, we explore:

• The nuances of empathetic, people-centred leadership

• How diversity drives innovation — and what gets in the way

• Building resilience and connection in high-pressure environments

• Showing up with heart in complex systems

This is a thoughtful, grounding episode for anyone leading teams, navigating change, or redefining what success looks like in today’s workplace.

“You’re only as good as your last deal”

That’s how my very first podcast guest Daryn Mason describes the fast-paced, high-pressure world of software sales, which he’s now left behind in favour of counselling and psychotherapy.

After he left school with no meaningful qualifications, Daryn taught himself to programme and worked his way up to executive level in one of the world’s largest software and cloud computing companies. In 2022, he published his long awaited book, “Deal Crash”.

After a successful corporate career, Daryn is on the brink of embarking on his new career following a three-year Masters course at the University of Abertay in Dundee, Scotland.
