Hi -- I'm David -- Great to meet you!

My journey: I stopped practicing medicine so I could help prevent illness and burnout. I speak internationally, coach doctors and leaders, and write about wellness, emotional intelligence, and resiliency. I became a coach after working with a great one, so I know from personal experience how helpful it can be.

Visit my [website](https://www.davidfessell.com/) for more about my coaching and keynotes and links to my published HBR, JAMA, and Psychology Today articles.

 Wishing you abundant peace, health and happiness!
