BECOME A PEAK SURGEON
TRUSTED BY SURGEONS NATIONALLY:

"As a full time trauma surgeon, associate professor of surgery and the director of a trauma research program, I spent the majority of my career defining my goals and reaching them without difficulty. I found myself at a junction professionally, in which I was unsure of how to define my next set of professional goals as well as how to clearly and concisely outline the steps to reach them to my research team, my direct supervisor, as well as my institution. 

My work with the Peak Surgeon Program has resulted not only in clarifying my goals and career aspirations, I have become a more effective communicator and leader. Whether it is explaining process of attaining my research groups short and long term goals to my collaborators, obtaining increased support from the institution or building my coalition of leaders at the institutional level to guide the overall efforts, the skills I have refined and further developed are highly effective.

The guidance of my coach was invaluable. The process implemented through the Peak Surgeon Program is an investment in one's future, but it is one worth making if you are serious about developing career-changing leadership and communication skill sets."

- Caleb Mentzer, Director of Trauma Research & Associate Program Director, Surgical Critical Care Fellowship, Spartanburg Medical Center
 
 
AS A SURGEON...

Are You Currently Experiencing These Issues?

 

Chronic Fatigue

Do long hours in the OR leave you feeling chronically fatigued, compromising your ability to make critical decisions?

Emotional Exhaustion

Does emotional exhaustion shadow your every step, making even the simplest tasks feel like it's draining joy from your profession?

Career Dissatisfaction

Have the relentless hours in the OR begun to dim the passion you once felt for surgery, leaving you questioning your future in the field?

Sacrifice of Self

At what point did prioritizing patient care begin to feel like a sacrifice of your own well-being, leaving you to wonder if the personal cost is too high?

 
 
TO FIX THOSE ISSUES...

Have You Tried Any Of These Solutions With No Success?

 

Working Harder

How much longer are you going to just put your head down and invest more hours without seeing the improvement you want?

Vacations Or Mini-Getaways

Why don't the feelings of relief these short-term breaks give ever last? Maybe it's because short-term fixes breed short-term results.

Continued Medical Education

Have continuing medical education and specialized surgical workshops, intended to sharpen your skills, only added to your sense of burnout instead of reigniting your passion for medicine?

Therapy

Have sessions with a therapist or counselor, aimed at managing stress, left you feeling like the unique pressures of the surgical field are still misunderstood and unaddressed?

Become A Peak Surgeon Now

"To the world, I was a successful physician, CEO, and Chief Medical Officer. But to be honest - deep inside - I was struggling in my personal and professional life

About a year ago, I saw a paradigm shift in a close friend and leader that I admire. Curious, I asked him one evening, "What changed?" He smiled and said, "Christian Santiago."

I made a mental note and went back to the grind, until one day I was at a breaking point. At that moment, I remembered the conversation about Christian Santiago. Naturally I looked him up on LinkedIn as I was curious to see who he was. I took a took a risk and reached out to him asking for his help.

Christian answered my call for help through the Peak Surgeon High Performance Program and I can honestly say I have never felt more focused, more inspired. They have also started working with my team and the collaborative results are truly amazing!"

- Christopher K. Bromley, DPM FACFAS, President & Chief Medical Officer, CarePICS

"As one who both performs complex and high stakes operations while also leading and teaching an already experienced group of high performing professionals - High Performance coaching makes natural sense.

The Peak Surgeon team has been truly wonderful to work with and has made me better in, not only my professional life, but in all facets of my life. Don't hesitate to trust them to do the same for you!"

- Brian Thurston, Chief of Surgery, Spartanburg Medical Center

"While dealing with uncertainty during a difficult decision-making process, Christian provided unique insight and perspective. He accomplished this not only by providing great counter arguments to force me to consider outcomes and alternative solutions, but also by providing tools to allow me to reach personal conclusions I would have not otherwise been able to reach with my pre-existing skillset. The tools I developed and gained along the way will be invaluable in future endeavors."

- Adam R. Johnson, DPM, President, American Board of Podiatric Medicine

"Working with Christian has allowed me to become a more effective and influential leader. My confidence has soared, and I have become mission-driven and impactful.

I’ve always been able to instruct a group, but Christian has given me the tools to change my leadership style to a more inclusive style approach. By using his leadership pearls, I have been able to change the way in which I lead by becoming more of an influencer. I have been able to push my limits and discover my true potential as a leader.

Christian is one of the most effective and innovative people that I have ever worked with. He has affected my life in such a positive way, and I owe my newfound confidence to him."

- Kiana R. Trent, DPM, DABPM

"I cannot speak highly enough of the transformative experience I've had working with Christian as my peak performance coach. As a podiatric surgeon, I found myself feeling stagnant in certain areas of my professional and personal life. Despite my efforts, I couldn't seem to break through the barriers holding me back.

Enter Christian. From our very first session, it was evident that Christian possessed a unique ability to uncover the root causes of my stagnation. Through insightful questioning and gentle guidance, he helped me realize that I had been inadvertently hindering my own progress. Christian showed me that my measurements of success were not only inefficient but also counterproductive.

With Christian's support and expertise, I began to see my goals from a fresh perspective. He helped me break down the self-imposed barriers that had been holding me back, allowing me to approach my objectives with renewed vigor and clarity. Thanks to his guidance, I've experienced a remarkable shift in both my professional and personal life. I wholeheartedly recommend Christian to anyone seeking a spark of motivation and guidance on their journey to peak performance!"

Katerina Grigoropoulos, DPM, AACFAS, DABPM
