Corporate Christie
Corporate Christie is the podcast for anyone who’s ever said, “I’m fine” at work while quietly unraveling inside.
Because no matter how much we pretend to separate work from life, the truth is—what happens at home shows up in your leadership. And what happens at work echoes into your relationships, your health, your self-worth.
I’m your black-sheep corporate sister, here to blend workplace insight with real-life healing. Expect raw, relatable episodes on what it actually takes to reclaim your time, your energy, your peace—and your career.
Whether you’re trying to learn how to drive employee engagement, lead more effectively, or stop shrinking in systems that weren’t built for you—this show will help you come back to yourself and build a life you’re proud to lead.

If your employees are disengaged, there’s a 70% chance their manager is the problem. Yep, career development (or the lack of it) is a make-or-break factor for retention, engagement, and productivity.
In today's episode, I chat with career development expert Julie Winkle Giulioni about why leaders avoid career conversations, how to make them easier, and the one shift managers need to stop feeling overwhelmed!
Key themes:
- Why career development isn’t a ‘one-and-done’ task
- How bad managers kill engagement (without realizing it)
- The “fix-it reflex” and why it’s sabotaging your team
- Psychological safety and its role in retention
- How AI tools can make career development easier
