He helps leaders shape a fulfilling culture and provides practical strategies to improve sales, build connections, and find purpose at work. 

Let’s explore how artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping optometry and healthcare. We'll cover the basics of AI, its practical uses for streamlining admin work, improving patient care, and supporting optometrists.
