To Stand Still is To Fail

Guest Angie Conley knew from childhood that she wanted to do something meaningful. Her father, a cardiologist, fostered an interest in science and biology and helping people. Angie realized in her first medical device consulting job that she thrived when challenged, not when she stood still like “a cog in a wheel.” Five years ago, Angie founded Albitech Medical, which helps people with disabilities live better lives with artificial devices. Angie’s long-term social capital skills enable her to ask for help when she needs it, and it makes her resourceful. When faced with the imposter syndrome, Angie tries to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Family, dear friends, a supportive husband, professional groups for women in medicine are all ways in which Angie enjoys her life.
