Lil Surprenant, MD

Internal Medicine Hospitalist

My name is Lil, and I’ve worked as an IM hospitalist for many years. I’m originally from South Carolina, trained in Utah and traveled here and there before landing back home. I’ve worked in multiple hospital systems, both big and small and have travelled the road from serious burnout to real satisfaction at work.

On the personal side, this many years on the planet has allowed for a lot of experiences that give me perspective as a coach…divorce, bankruptcy (yes, I’m telling you this on a bio!), remarriage, sprinkle on a sustained 75 lb weight loss and lots of living in between.

I’m the person that you can help you bring your stuff out, no matter what it is or how you feel about it now.

I’ve got you.

Krystal Sodaitis, MD, MPH

Pediatrician

I’m Krystal, a board-certified pediatrician, fellowship trained in academic general pediatrics. I transitioned from academic medicine to working for a health insurance company in 2013 and I’m currently a Senior Director.

I am a coach for physicians, pediatrician, wife, mother, health care executive and, life-long learner. Externally, I seemed to “have it all figured out” yet was filled with doubt, self-hatred and Imposter Syndrome. All that changed when I found coaching. I coach myself every day and use it as a leadership tool for my team and to nurture the leader in me.

Why do I love coaching gifted people?

Because the smarter someone is, the more likely they are to have an area they’re NOT good at. This fact often causes a lot of stress, pain and anxiety – and even more likely if they’ve a diagnosis that affects their ability to focus or learn.

If this sounds like you, I’m your coach.

Daniel Presutti, MD

Anesthesiologist

Originally from Connecticut, I’m Dan, academic anesthesiologist in North Carolina. Interestingly, my path into medicine was not the result of 20+ straight years of academics.

Instead, I earned my Bachelor of Science from the United States Military Academy at West Point. Post college graduation, I served as an Army Officer for 5 years, including deployment in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003). It was during this time of service when I made the decision to change career paths and pursue medicine.

My wife, Jenna, is a CRNA and there’s never a dull moment with 3 kids, a Saint Bernard, and a Bernese Mountain Dog. I bring a variety of life experiences to my role, including a divorce, which has helped shape my views on life. I provide coaching for physicians in areas of interpersonal relationships, life balance, building self-worth and goal orientation.

Tricia James, MD

Internal Medicine

I am an Academic Internal Medicine physician still practicing inpatient/outpatient medicine and teaching. Coaching helped me go from feeling trapped in my job to thriving! I also have 3 young kids, so I am very familiar with the journey of balancing work and life.

Physicians are some of the most intelligent and resilient humans and I love helping them reconnect with their power. I can’t wait to help you take control of your life, dream about what could be, and then make it happen.

Elizabeth Chiang, MD, PhD

Opthalmologist/Oculoplastic Surgeon

Call me Elisa, short for Elizabeth. I am a board-certified ophthalmologist and fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeon who has worked both in private practice as well as for a bureaucratic hospital system.

The hospital system, along with taking 24-7 call, resulted in burnout. Although I had the financial piece of the three pillars figured out, it took coaching and working on my mindset to overcome burnout. I dove into the world of personal finance and investing when I was in the grad school years of the MSTP (combined MD/PhD program) and set my mind toward FIRE before the term became popularized. I started investing in stocks and mutual funds as a graduate student. After reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad, I tackled real estate investing and flipped two houses before graduating medical school. I continue to invest in real estate both actively with rental property I self-manage and passively with syndications and real estate funds.

I can help you overcome burnout, get out of the trap of arrival fallacy, and build your path to financial independence while enjoying the journey to get there. I can’t wait to work on your money mindset or help you toward whatever goal you want to accomplish.
