Emotional Well-Being and Heart-Based Conversations with Jonathan Fisher

A Harvard-trained physician, clinical cardiologist, and certified mindfulness meditation teacher with 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Jonathan Fisher survived burnout and rediscovered his joy at work the hard way. He is now committed to ending workplace burnout and optimizing peak performance in healthcare and the corporate world. 

His mission is to empower leaders and teams to experience more joy, meaning, and connection in their lives, and to reach their full potential.
