As a surgeon and educator, I’ve spent over two decades navigating high-stakes moments, whether in the operating room, advancing medical education, or leading national advocacy. Along the way, I’ve seen firsthand how stress and uncertainty shape performance, decision-making, team dynamics, and well-being.

That experience led me to found Docs in Leadership Inc. in 2019, an initiative created to provide physicians, healthcare professionals, and medical trainees with formalized leadership education, something largely absent from traditional training. This work became the foundation for Depth Perception Leadership™, a neuroscience-informed model that integrates proprietary frameworks I first introduced in my bestselling book, Stress in Medicine.

Today, this approach supports professionals in healthcare and beyond to regulate emotions, respond instead of react, and lead with clarity and calm under pressure—especially during moments of conflict and uncertainty.

My work now spans national leadership, keynote speaking, and thought-leadership writing. I share practical tools and insights through platforms including my YouTube channel, Psychology Today blog, and stages around the world. I also continue to contribute to healthcare advocacy, including testifying before the Canadian Senate in support of Bill C-284 and serving as President-Elect of the Canadian Ophthalmological Society.
