Hello, I'm Frederic
I've spent two decades exploring the art and science of decision-making—how we choose what to pursue, and how we can get better at building lives that align with what matters to us.
By day, I work as a surgeon. But I've found equal meaning in helping people outside the operating room clarify what they're working toward—and take real steps to get there.
