Rx for Success with Dr. Sowmya Viswanathan at BayCare Health System

Rx for Success with Dr. Sowmya Viswanathan at BayCare Health System

Author: Sanjay Puri July 12, 2023 Duration: 43:43

Success is a combination of determination, humility, curiosity and a few good mentors who can help you access future opportunities.


On this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Sowmya Viswanathan, Chief Physician Executive at BayCare Health System, who offers her prescription for professional growth as an Indian American healthcare leader.


Dr. Viswanathan’s journey taught her a few important lessons:


- A supportive community is foundational to success.

- It is essential not only to find mentors in your field but also to be a mentor to future leaders once you have wisdom of your own to share.

- Make space for yourself, and for others to bring their authentic self to the workplace. Everyone has a unique perspective that can add value to the conversation.


With a posture of humility and a network of encouraging friends and mentors, growth and development will happen organically.
