Career Coaching—Backed by Decision Science

Fully Tailored. For You. In Real Time.

Who I am

I am a surgeon, author, TEDx speaker, and career coach who bridges the worlds of medicine and human potential. I bring elite medical and academic credentials to my coaching practice, where I help high-achievers create careers connected to their Why.

I've operated and taught across three continents—from Haiti to Madagascar—which has given me a firsthand look how people make life-altering decisions under pressure.

That led me to a PhD in the science of decision-making, where I studied how we actually make choices when the stakes are highest.

And in all that, I burned myself out. Three times.

And you know what was true each time? It wasn't that I was exhausted, snappy, sleepless. Those were there, sure.

It was that I was no longer connected to my Why. I no longer loved my life.

The combination of clinical and personal experience—plus decision science expertise—forms the foundation of my coaching practice.

When I'm not in the operating room or coaching clients, you'll find me rock climbing, competing on American Ninja Warrior (Seasons 8, 9, and 11), or behind a camera. I approach challenges—whether surgical, personal, or athletic—with the same curiosity and precision.

You deserve to move from surviving to thriving, from exhaustion to a reconnection with joy. You deserve a life you don't want to quit.

And I'm ready to get you there.

Let’s go!

What I do

I help. I help you understand why other burnout survival methods didn’t work, and what needs to change to ensure that your career serves you. I bring a goldmine of personal expertise, and I combine it with a PhD in the science of decision-making, to ensure sustainable success.

Together, we’ll tailor a career transition strategy for YOU—whether you want to stay in medicine, get out altogether, or do something in between.

I will help you modify the approach in real time, starting by Solving for your Why, figuring out the What that aligns with that Why, and then plotting out a How that gets you from where you are now... to a life you don't want to quit.

I love seeing how happy my client are after they've transitioned to a life they love—and I’d love to help you, too!

The investment

Investment in your burnout escape is premium—but the value? A lifetime of joy.

Burnout robs you of your health, your wellbeing, your concentration, your confidence, your sleep, and any energy you may have left over for your loved ones. And no "wellness training" will get you out of it.

You have another couple of decades left in your career.

Can you afford to keep sacrificing your Future Self on the altar of today's stuckness? This investment in your family’s well-being will yield lifelong dividends in health and happiness.

A yoga retreat? $4000, and your burnout is still there a week after. The price of one of my Burnout Escape packages is less than the monthly cost of a therapist—and way less than the cost of a divorce lawyer!

And while you might pay that therapist for months, talk therapy will never get you to the actionable steps you need.

I put you on the path to a career that you'll brag about. Right away.

Your burnout is unique, and so is my approach

You work one-on-one with me. No middlemen!
Your burnout escape is fully personalized. For you. Because one size does not fit all.
I stay with you the entire way.
I won't ever tell you to just "fix your mindset"

Client love...

Worth the investment! The coaching gave me guidance on the particular aspect of my career that I'm working on, but it went so much further than that! I learned a lot about why I make certain decisions, where my motivation / drive come from, and how to use this information to make better decisions in all aspects of my life

So much clarity! After just a single session, I'm already putting things that Dr. Shrime has taught into practice and seeing a path open up in front of me. It was organized, guided, candid, and practical. I gained clarity about what purpose is

Dr. Shrime is a genuine and compassionate soul who shepherds his clients through the many challenges that lie in navigating life's journey. He is authentic and attentive.

Don't stay burnt out! I always knew that getting out of burnout was my responsibility, but I now also know HOW. I can't believe I stayed in that toxic place for so long
