As the year draws to a close, many professionals feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and stretched beyond their limits. End-of-year pressure, blurred boundaries, and rising workloads often lead to burnout — quietly and cumulatively.

In this episode, career coach Jane Jackson shares five evidence-based strategies to help you manage end-of-year stress before it impacts your health, confidence, or performance.

You’ll learn:

• How to recognise early signs of burnout and emotional exhaustion
• Why boundaries are essential — not selfish — for sustainable success
• How clear communication with your manager can reduce stress and overload
• Practical ways to break large tasks into manageable steps using proven focus techniques
• Why real breaks and asking for support improve performance, not weaken it

Backed by workplace research and practical experience, this episode offers calm, realistic guidance for professionals who want to finish the year well — without burning out.

Your career is a marathon, not a sprint. One small, intentional change can make a meaningful difference.

Welcome to Your Career Podcast with Jane Jackson where I help mid career professionals overcome self doubt and gain career clarity and the confidence to create the life and career they desire.
