Success in Cardiology
Exclusive Conversations with Leading Cardiologists
Congratulations. The interviews are below.
During these powerful interviews with some of the world’s leading cardiologists, you will hear inspiring stories of how it is possible to have the career of your dreams and successfully raise a family as well.
It doesn’t matter if you’re dealing with time issues… overwhelm… a lack of confidence… or a sense that it’s hard to stand out as a female in a male-dominated industry… Every interview will help you to create more success…
You’ll gain access to world class role models… and ultimately – you’ll gain the courage and confidence to create success on your terms… without neglecting your family life.
My name is Deborah Lockwood, and I’ve spent my career as an electrophysiologist at a prestigious Heart Rhythm Institute… as well as being a mother of twins.
See some of the world class cardiologists I’ve already interviewed for you below – and there are many more to come.
