Dr Nikki Stamp<br />
Heart and lung surgeon, Author, TV presenter<br />
Once I developed my<br />
self-confidence, I really<br />
never looked back.<br />
Looking at Dr Nikki Stamp today, it’s<br />
difficult to imagine a little girl who didn’t<br />
believe she “had the smarts” to study medicine.<br />
Yet, with a supportive family behind her, she<br />
says self-doubt was the only thing that stood in<br />
her way.<br />
“Once I developed my self-confidence, I really<br />
never looked back. I did all the things people<br />
said I couldn’t do,” she says. “When I hear<br />
people tell me there’s something I can’t do,<br />
it’s a little bit like a red rag to a bull!”<br />
That self-belief has been key to Nikki’s life from<br />
then on, not only throughout her studies, but<br />
in her role as a surgeon. “I need to believe in<br />
myself and I need to back myself to do my job,<br />
it’s an essential part of what I do,” she says.
