Beyond Mastery: How a Heart Surgeon Found His Own Heart | Paul Fedak | TEDxCalgary

What can someone doing heart surgery teach the rest of us? Dr. Paul Fedak delivers a talk that offers a rare glimpse into the process of becoming of a cardiac surgeon. He explores with humour, humility and humanity what it means perform at peak performance, when literal lives hang in the balance.
Non heart surgeons will be inspired by his story. The UFO procedure he describes is a masterclass on how to blend together heart, mind and skill, in any endeavour, and a unique example of leadership in the face of uncertainty. Those looking to navigate towards peak performance in their own work individually or within their organization, in uncertain times will find this talk focused on mastery particularly helpful. This talk received a standing ovation at TEDxCalgary on Nov 3 2018.

A cardiac surgeon and scientist at the University of Calgary, Dr. Fedak is committed to the innovation and translation of new surgical therapies for patients with advanced heart disease. He has pioneered several novel surgical techniques, and leads a collaborative research effort with Northwestern University to better understand risk prediction around heart disease.
