A profile of Dr. David Posen could start with the requisite and impressive list of academic and career achievements. But more of that later.
To really know David Posen, author, speaker, physician, athlete, musician and family man, imagine an adventurer who regularly stops to chat with people along his travels — to observe and, most of all, to listen and learn.
There are talkers and there are listeners.
David is both: an interesting talker and a keenly interested listener. As a speaker, David has enthralled and compelled corporate and professional audiences across North America.
David's ability to listen — to his patients, audiences, colleagues, friends and even himself — has resulted in three best selling books, Always Change a Losing Game, now in its ninth printing and being sold on four continents, Staying Afloat When the Water Gets Rough and The Little Book of Stress Relief, now in its sixth printing and being translated into Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, German and French.
Befitting an adventurer, David worked on a research project in San Francisco before graduating from the University of Toronto Medical School in 1967. He then interned in Edmonton, Alberta and practiced in the Canadian Arctic and Jerusalem before settling in Oakville, Ontario in 1971.
More than a decade into a highly successful family practice, David changed his game plan in the mid '80s to focus on stress management and lifestyle counseling. Along the way, his buoyant approach to life's challenges has helped countless people stay afloat!
