Be the passionate you.

Welcome to The ChangeTroubleshooter podcast

This is seaon 8 Your Move - The Human Reset where Nina talks to people about the steps in her book that resonated with them.

In this 5th episode, Be The Passionate You, Nina talks to Rob Ferrone who chose step 27; No one Wins Alone and step 72; Choices, Decisions and Consequences. Nina added step 12; Be The Passionate You, into the mix.

They also talk about the tension between authenticity and conformity at work, and why the future of leadership depends on the human side of change. Rob shares how his playful, people-first approach shaped his career, while Nina challenges the idea that professionalism should come at the cost of being yourself.Together, they explore masking, trust, decision-making, and collective wins — asking what it really takes to create workplaces where people feel energized, accepted, and able to contribute fully.

Welcome to Season 8 of The Change Troubleshooter.

This is Episode 4: Why Letting Go Changes Everything

Today Nina is joined by Alan Wilson, Director of People and Operations at OnSecurity, a company that helps organisations stay secure in an increasingly complex digital world.

Alan recently read Your Move: The Human Reset and, out of 100 steps, two stood out for him: Step 97 – The Art of Letting Go and Step 99 – Gratitude.

Now, that might sound surprising coming from someone whose world revolves around risk, systems, data and cybersecurity. But perhaps that's exactly the point.

In this conversation, they explore why two of the most human chapters in the book resonated so strongly, what happens when we hold on to things that no longer serve us, and why gratitude is a powerful leadership and life skill, not just a wellbeing buzzword.

It's a thoughtful conversation about personal growth, perspective, and of course AI and how it is impacting what we do right now and its potential future impact.

In this episode, Personal Rewirement, Nina is joined by Elpie Banister, who brings a  thoughtful and refreshingly human perspective to change, creativity and personal growth, exploring the small shifts that create meaningful transformation - in how we think, how we work, and how we live.

Together, they explore four powerful coaching moments from Your Move: The Human Reset that speak directly to the pace and pressure of modern life. Elpie’s chosen steps are Step 4: Create Conscious Space, Step 25: Let Distractions Spark Ideas, Step 95: Regenerate, Don’t Just Recover, and Step 97: The Art of Letting Go.

This conversation moves beyond productivity and performance, into something deeper - how we create space to think clearly, how unexpected distractions can become sources of creativity, why regeneration matters more than simply pushing through, and how letting go can open the door to new possibilities.

It’s a thoughtful, honest and quietly energising conversation about rewiring the way we approach change - not by doing more, but by becoming more conscious about how we live and work.

Welcome back to The Change Troubleshooter Podcast.

In Season 8 we’re inviting brilliant guests to pick their favourite steps from my new book Your Move: The Human Reset — and explore why they matter in the real world.

Today’s guest brings a completely different lens to change.

In this episode - The Nature of Change

Lydia Stevens is a Nature and Biodiversity Coach, helping people reconnect with the natural systems we’re all part of — and reminding us that change didn’t start with digital transformation… it started with nature.

Lydia chose three powerful steps from Your Move: The Human Reset that perfectly bridge the worlds of nature, business and personal change:

• Step 80 — Systems Thinking
• Step 97 — Letting Go
• Step 99 — Gratitude

In this episode, we explore what the natural world can teach us about transformation.

Because nature understands systems.
Nature understands cycles.
And nature definitely understands when it’s time to let go.

Season 8 of The Change Troubleshooter Podcast is here, and this time, we’re doing things a little differently.

In this series, each guest chooses the steps from Nina's book Your Move: The Human Reset that resonated most with them, and we explore why those moments mattered, what they’ve applied in the real world, and what they’ve learned along the way.

My first guest is Nick Owens, founder of Delta PLM, an independent consultancy specialising in Product Lifecycle Management and complex change delivery.

Nick originally picked 22 steps from the book.
Then refined them to 11.
And somehow, we ended up discussing 12.

What emerged was something powerful: a practical, no-nonsense path through the book that Nick believes every change professional should understand, especially those navigating transformation, delivery pressure, and real-world complexity.

Together, Nick and I walk through his chosen route, challenge assumptions, share lived experience, and troubleshoot what actually makes change stick.

If you work in transformation, delivery, systems change, or leadership, this episode sets the tone for the entire season.

Welcome to episode 5 of season 7 of the Change Troubleshooter.

This episode is called The Internet Buddha - How an internet star found inner peace.

Matthijs Warner is a father, brother & son.

He is a practising buddhist. He is an artist, and his work has been shown in several galleries throughout the Netherlands, and Paris, as well as him being an arist in residence in Tavira, Portugal where he now lives. 

He is a published author.  And he was a internet pioneer, creating and moneytising a website for artists in the 1990's - 2000's when many of us were still trying to be patient with super slow dial up connectivity.  He was diagnosed with MS in his prime.  In this conversation Nina explores the evolution of human change as Matthijs tells us his remarkable story.

If you'd like to contact Matthijs to talk about his art, Buddhism or spirituality in general, you can drop him an email:

This is a link to 4 of Matthijs's online books where you will find his beautiful artwork.

In this epsiode, Nina reads us a fable she's written about this exact topic. Are you sitting comfortably? Then she'll begin...
