What do you attribute your success to?

• My personal development and use of emotional intelligence together with other wellness practices have been core to my financial, work and personal success. My goal is to share these practices with colleagues and the next generation of physicians so they can enoy that success, too. For each person we help, it helps us as well. "Our relentless motivation is to bring out the best in everyone."

  Administration of medicine, educating the next generation, wellness and coaching.
