Managing Invisible Burnout and Impossible Expectations

What happens when your star employee starts slipping—and swears they’re “fine”? Or when leadership hands you KPIs that would break the very culture you worked so hard to build?

In this live roundtable episode of Stepping Into Leadership, Christine is joined in-studio by two fan-favorite voices—Blonka and Tom—for a candid, unscripted conversation about real-life management dilemmas. Together, they tackle:

• How to address declining performance with care and clarity
• Why “I’m fine” is rarely the full story—and what to do when it isn’t
• What to do when leadership hands you impossible KPIs
• How to protect your team from burnout while still getting results

You’ll hear a case study we’re calling The Janet Effect—a moment that every manager will recognize—and walk away with tangible ways to lead with empathy and effectiveness, even under pressure.

This is part 1 of a special two-part live session recorded in person with the crew. Don’t miss the laughter, honesty, and leadership gold.
