Daniel Friedland, MD is a thought leader, keynote speaker, educator and consultant in Evidence-Based Medicine and Health and Wellness. He is board certified in Internal Medicine and is the author of Evidence-Based Medicine: A Framework for Clinical Practice, one of the first textbooks on this process that has become the standard by which healthcare providers make effective medical decisions.
Inspired by his medical training at the University of California, San Francisco (where he is currently an Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine), he discovered how the framework of evidence-based medicine not only promotes scientific intelligence but also cultivates emotional, social and spiritual intelligence to achieve a more holistic experience of health and well-being.
An in-demand expert in decision-making and promoting scientific and emotional intelligence, Dr. Friedland has delivered over a thousand programs to physicians, allied healthcare professionals, patients, the US Army and Navy, executives and employees in Fortune 500 companies, and for Vistage, a leading global network of CEO's.
Dr. Friedland serves as Medical Director for Barney & Barney insurance brokerage, on the Board of Directors for the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine, and as the Founder and CEO of SuperSmartHealth, which provides Seminars, Consulting, Health Coaching, and Wellness Programs, including the newly released 8-week online resiliency program: The 4 in 4 Framework to Achieve Peak Performance, that enables individuals to navigate stress and optimize their health, relationships and productivity.

The 4 in 4 Framework for Conscious Leadership
Geared for leaders in healthcare, this presentation leverages Dr. Friedland's 4 in 4 Framework, a system that integrates brain science, cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, evidence-based medicine and mindfulness practice to facilitate social, emotional and spiritual intelligence that empowers leaders to:
1) More fully recognize and manage reactive thoughts, feelings and behaviors that can hijack conscious leadership
2) Reappraise their underlying triggers of stress and self-doubt so they can more fully focus their attention on what's truly important
3) Strategically manifest a vision that expresses the specific values that provide the organization with a collective sense of meaning and purpose
4) Stay on track by mindfully framing the "right" questions, and finding and trusting the "right" answers to continually realign their actions with their core values, vision and purpose...as well as inspire this process in others to promote a more conscious culture
