If your company tracks profit, process, and people, but not health… you’re missing the point.

In this episode, Joana Pinon-Bertumen of 360 Fit Teams joins Marie to challenge how we define success in the workplace. They talk about burnout, movement, company culture, and why health and wellness deserve their own spot in your KPI scorecard. From step trackers to office gym design, Joana shares how companies can create sustainable wellness programs that actually engage people—and get results.

Because you can’t lead from burnout—and your people can’t perform from exhaustion.

Key Highlights:

• Movement is a leadership tool and a burnout buffer.
• Wellness must be culture-led, not just HR-led.
• 6,000 steps a day is the new baseline—most employees hit just 1,500.

How do you know if your team is burning out—and what can you do about it?

In this episode, Marie Ampeloquio sits down (again!) with Oca Sañez to explore how health impacts leadership, performance, and organizational sustainability. Coach Oca explains that burnout doesn’t always show up loudly—sometimes it’s in absenteeism, low engagement, or background complaints leaders ignore. The earlier we recognize the symptoms, the easier it is to course correct.

From there, the conversation expands into tangible solutions: rethinking food habits, creating mindful eating environments, prioritizing rest and movement, and even advocating for a fifth scorecard dedicated solely to wellness. Coach Oca also introduces the “Intentional Pause” framework and reveals how small daily choices can create a culture of high-performance health.

This isn’t just about nutrition. It’s about building leaders and workplaces that last.

Key Highlights:

• Burnout is often silent—watch for signs like absenteeism, tardiness, and low energy
• Leaders need to recognize and respond to subtle wellness symptoms in their teams
• Addressing poor habits requires empathy, not just discipline
