Physician NonClinical Careers with John Jurica


Nov 7, 2018

Dr. Carmen Landrau is a board-certified cardiologist and professional keynote speaker, who uses her experience to empower women to recognize their talents, regain confidence, and take the next steps in their careers and in life. She’s been a keynote speaker at conferences and events for over fifteen years.

She lectures medical students and residents, and speaks at events with hundreds of attendees.  She’s also provided individualized teaching and coaching to professional women and women’s groups.

During our conversation, Carmen explains how she became a paid speaker. It started slowly, by volunteering to speak for the American Heart Association and other groups. But she enjoyed it so much that she decided to focus on nurturing her career and to seek paid engagements.

Some of the strategies she used include:

  • Engaging a speaking coach,
  • Taking a speaking course,
  • Developing her first "signature talk,"
  • Networking,
  • Seeking repeat speaking engagements.

You can find out more about her at DrLandrau.com. She was kind enough to give us her email address, if you’d like to ask her a question, or engage her to speak. The email address is info@drlaundrau.com.
