Ways to Change the Workplace with Prina Shah · 2026-06-05 · 27 min
In this episode of Ways to Change Your Workplace, Prina Shah is joined by facilitator, speaker, author and self-confessed “thought breeder” Leanne Hughes for a deeply honest conversation about boredom at work, visibility, career reinvention, and what it really takes to create meaningful opportunities inside organisations. Leanne shares the story behind her upcoming book Work Fame and why she believes so many people quietly sit in workplaces feeling disengaged, unseen, and stuck in what she calls the “hesitation station”. This conversation explores the difference between simply doing your job and intentionally building a reputation for contribution, curiosity, and service. Together, Prina and Leanne unpack why so many talented people stay hidden at work, the emotional reality of feeling underutilised, and how small acts of visibility can completely reshape a career. This episode is not about ego. It is about agency. It is about recognising that meaningful work often starts when we stop waiting to be noticed and start creating value in ways that feel aligned to who we are.
