147. Let's Make Work Meaningful - Announcing My Book
Episode 147
Friday, October 18, 2024 • Duration 15:04
Let’s Make Work Meaningful
Welcome to another solo episode of the Ways to Change the Workplace podcast with your host, Prina Shah. This week is monumental as Prina is launching her highly anticipated book, Make Work Meaningful: How to Create a Culture That Leaves a Legacy.
In this episode, Prina delves into the heart of the book, exploring its central theme—the Achievement and Legacy Paradox. She talks about the tension between success and fulfillment that many leaders and teams face in the workplace, sharing why short-term wins often leave us feeling empty. The episode emphasises that true success comes not from titles or promotions but from creating a culture where purpose and impact are at the core.
Prina also shares compelling case studies from her book, highlighting real-life examples such as:
The “whiz kid” leader who made efficiency cuts without understanding the cultural cost.
The inspiring story of CEO Anthony Vuleta, who transformed workplace culture by focusing on daily moments that matter to employees.
Key Takeaways from This Episode:
Leadership is about more than numbers and titles—it’s about leaving a meaningful legacy.
Meaningful work environments lead to higher engagement, creativity, and retention.
Culture isn't a "nice-to-have"—it's the backbone of sustainable success.
If you're not growing your people, you're shrinking your business.
Ask yourself and your team: What legacy are we building here? Is it one we’re proud of?
137. Why We Resist Change… with Jeff Skipper and Prina Shah
Episode 137
Friday, August 16, 2024 • Duration 34:07
Today, we have Jeff Skipper, joining us all the way from Calgary, Alberta.

He holds a master's degree in organizational psychology, is a certified change management professional, and the author of "Dancing with Disruption."
In this episode, we dive deep into the psychology behind why humans in the workplace resist change, even in a world that glorifies innovation and continuous improvement. Jeff shares his valuable insights on how to maximize the potential for people to flourish during change, rather than freeze or flee. We discuss the critical differences between change management and project management, the importance of addressing the emotional impact of change, and how to create a culture where discomfort is seen as a catalyst for growth.
Key Topics Covered:
The Psychology of Change Resistance
Difference Between Change Management and Project Management
Creating a Supportive Change Culture
Aligning Change Initiatives with Company Culture
The Role of Middle Managers in Change
Leveraging Resistance as a Source of Learning
Effective Change Communication
Quotes to Remember:
"In a world that glorifies innovation and continuous improvement, why do humans in the workplace still resist change?"
"Change management focuses on the people side of change, whereas project management is all about tasks and timelines."
"We need to make failure acceptable and provide the necessary support for people to feel safe during change."
