Grateful to Prathibha Varkey, MBBS, MPH, MHPE, MBA, and president of Mayo Clinic Health System, for speaking at 1st Tuesday today! Some takeaways from her discussion include: • Never be afraid to educate yourself. Varkey has four degrees, and each serves a different purpose — her ’13 MBA from the Carlson School gave her a much-needed financial background. • Stretch goals (ambitious but still technically possible targets) can be strong motivation and self-confidence tools. Assuming victory early on can help free you and your team to tackle things otherwise seen as daunting. • Take risks, as a person and as an organization, to encourage growth. Anything less than 30% uncomfortability means you’re not challenging yourself enough.
It was another fantastic 1st Tuesday! We are grateful for an informative, engaging, challenging, and inspiring conversation with Prathibha Varkey, MBBS, MPH, MHPE, MBA.
President, Mayo Clinic Health System
