173. Legacy, Energy & Letting Go: What It Really Takes to Lead Meaningfully with Digby Scott and Prina Shah
In this cross-over episode of Ways to Change Your Workplace and Dig Deeper, Prina Shah sits down with leadership expert Digby Scott for a deeply reflective conversation on legacy, energy management, and what it truly means to lead with intention.
What starts as a shared connection through a former mentor quickly evolves into a rich discussion on impact - not as something distant or end-of-career, but something we shape daily through our decisions, behaviours, and leadership.
Together, Prina and Digby unpack the hidden drivers behind fulfilment at work, the gap many high-performing leaders feel, and the practical ways we can shift from reactive, overloaded working to intentional, meaningful contribution.
In This Episode, We Discuss
- Why “legacy” isn’t about the end of your career - it’s about everyday decisions
- The hidden “gap” many high-performing leaders feel (and why it exists)
- Moving from ambition to meaning in your work
- How your “North Star” shapes better decision-making
- Energy management vs time management - and why it matters
- Practical ways to stay present in back-to-back workdays
- The risk of over-dependence on leaders (and how to break it)
- Why many leaders become bottlenecks (ego, systems, and structure)
- Creating self-sufficient, high-performing teams
- The shift from individual heroics to collective success
The importance of reflection, self-coaching, and intentional leadership
