Inspiring Change Through Authentic Conversations

As a pediatrician, coach, and global healthcare leader, I bring a wealth of experience to every speaking engagement, whether I’m addressing a room full of healthcare professionals or engaging an intimate audience at an academic conference. I’m passionate about helping others transform the way they approach medicine through self-awareness, compassionate leadership, and meaningful connection.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my journey, from my own burnout and breakthrough to a career dedicated to fostering well-being and resilience in healthcare. My talks are rooted in real-life experiences and are designed to spark both reflection and action.

Key Topics I Address

I speak on a range of subjects, drawing from my international experience and deep commitment to transforming healthcare culture. Some of my core topics include:

  • Men in Medicine: Exploring the unique challenges and opportunities faced by men in the healthcare profession.

  • Cross-Cultural Health: Navigating the complexities of healthcare delivery in diverse environments.

  • Sustaining Clinical Practice: Strategies for maintaining passion and energy in the face of daily challenges.

  • Caring for Ourselves While Caring for Others: Techniques for building resilience and practicing self-care amidst the demands of patient care.

What You Can Expect

When you invite me to speak, you’re not just booking a presentation—you’re creating a space for genuine conversation, actionable insights, and lasting impact. My approach combines storytelling with practical strategies, helping your audience:

  • Reflect on their own experiences and values.

  • Develop skills for emotional intelligence and self-leadership.

  • Embrace a culture of wellness that benefits both providers and patients.

  • Ignite change by aligning their personal and professional lives.
