Leadership, Business and Innovation Podcast: Live to Work, Work to Live?
In this candid ESCRS Leadership, Business & Innovation podcast, David Lockington is joined by Basak Bostanci, Laura de Benito-Llopis and Brendan Cummings to explore whether a "perfect job" really exists and how ophthalmologists can build fulfilling careers that align with their personal values. Through honest reflections on career twists, family life, mentorship, private and public practice, and the challenges of saying no, the panel shares practical advice on navigating opportunity, maintaining boundaries and embracing change. Their message is clear: success is not about finding the perfect job, but about staying authentic, working with purpose, and creating a life that balances professional ambition with personal fulfilment.
