Docs in Leadership: From Our Founder
Empowering Leaders in Healthcare and Beyond...
Leadership transcends industries. Whether you’re a healthcare provider guiding patients, a corporate leader navigating complex systems, or an educator shaping the next generation—effective leadership is essential.
But in high-stakes, high-pressure environments, leadership requires more than technical skill. It calls for emotional intelligence, resilience, and the ability to inspire meaningful change.
I founded Docs in Leadership in 2019 to fill a critical gap in medical education: the absence of formal leadership training for healthcare professionals. As a surgeon, educator, and advocate, I had seen firsthand how ineffective leadership negatively impacts working and learning environments. Too often, healthcare professionals are expected to lead without the tools to manage teams, navigate systems, or influence change.
Docs in Leadership began as a solution to equip physicians with the confidence, clarity, and compassion to lead well. Over time, it became clear that the principles behind this work—grounded in neuroscience and emotional intelligence—apply far beyond medicine.
Today, Docs in Leadership serves a wide range of professionals, including medical trainees, nurses, allied health professionals, and leaders in corporate and educational settings. Our programs empower individuals to thrive in high-pressure environments, foster inclusive cultures, and lead with purpose.
Everything I create is rooted in lived experience: mastering self-leadership and leading others in moments where clarity, courage, and calm made all the difference. Participants consistently describe the programs as “transformative,” “empowering,” and “a game-changer.”
What started as a physician-focused initiative has evolved into a cross-industry platform for growth, resilience, and impact. By integrating emotional intelligence and neuroscience into leadership, my goal is to help individuals unlock their potential, inspire meaningful change, and lead with confidence—from the inside out.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Together, we’re building a new generation of leaders—grounded in self-mastery, driven by purpose, and equipped to make a difference.
