Burnout rarely announces itself. It builds quietly — in the extra hours, the skipped lunches, the standards we hold ourselves to that no one could sustain. By the time most leaders recognize it, they’re already running on empty.
That’s exactly what Lisa Hammett writes about as an Executive Contributor at Brainz Magazine.
As a Certified Positive Intelligence (PQ) Coach, TEDx speaker, and best-selling author, Lisa was invited to join Brainz’s panel of expert contributors — a recognition reserved for thought leaders making a real impact in their field. In her ongoing column, she shares practical, science-backed insights on preventing burnout, building mental fitness, and leading with clarity instead of depletion.
Her articles meet leaders where they are: validating the exhaustion first, then offering sustainable strategies that actually work in real life. No hustle. No shame. Just honest tools for getting back to your best self.
Burnout isn’t a flaw in you — it’s a signal that the way you’ve been taught to lead isn’t sustainable. Lisa’s writing is here to help you change that.
