I serve physicians via financial, wellness, and career coaching to help them live their most prosperous lives on their own terms.

I can help you via 1:1 individualized coaching or through group coaching programs. My current program, Charting Conquered, tackles the leading cause of burnout and helps physicians leave their work at work and reclaim their time outside of work.

Hi, I’m Junaid Niazi. I’m a dual board-certified internist and pediatrician working as a primary care physician. I‘m also a father, husband, coach, and entrepreneur.

On paper, it looked like I had it all. But I was struggling to juggle these different hats, and often felt like I could only wear one or two at a time. Even then life felt chaotic. I was not always fully present when I needed to be, especially at home.

I was developing classic burnout symptoms of depersonalization and emotional exhaustion. A long-term career in medicine no longer seemed possible.

This was incredibly disheartening after the countless years I had spent to get to this point. What as it all for?

Enter professional and self-coaching. I stumbled on the idea that the solutions I needed resided within me—my mindset was holding me back. Coaching opened my eyes to the fact that I was making excuses by blaming external sources for my frustration. 

What was once paralyzing is now motivating. Knowing I control my results by managing my thoughts no matter the circumstances empowered me to take back control of my life. This realization was liberating! I quickly diagnosed the limiting beliefs leaving me feeling stuck. One by one, I dismantled these beliefs using the coaching techniques and with the help of coaches.

I started re-prioritizing things in my life, setting new goals with a renewed sense of purpose, and achieving goals I had only previously dreamed of. I have taken even more on my plate without feeling more overwhelmed. I am overcoming my burnout and thriving. I am more present at work and at home. 

This shift in mindset has inspired me to share what I have discovered with my physician colleagues. Current physician shortages will only worsen if we cannot stem the tide of the burnout epidemic. I believe coaching is a powerful tool in our arsenal to not only combat burnout, but also help physicians thrive.
