[Inspiring Women Podcast x WBL] Sophia Kim on How Adaptability Can Be Your Greatest Leadership Strength
Sophia Kim has spent her career breaking molds, and building better models for leadership and care delivery.
From her early start navigating journalism and consulting to leading high-growth teams in healthcare, Sophia’s path has been shaped by adaptability, ambition, and a commitment to creating change that matters.
In this episode of Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw, Sophia shares her journey from balancing a demanding consulting career with raising two young children to finding her footing in healthcare leadership – without a clinical background, but with a deep understanding of people, systems, and what real innovation requires.
She talks about:
How she’s helping rethink access to heart care through virtual-first models — and why bold ideas are needed to meet today’s healthcare challenges.
The leadership lessons she’s carried from consulting rooms to executive suites — including why being able to “be like water” has been essential to growth.
How women leaders can create space not just for themselves, but for the next generation.
Why technology must always serve people first — and how to balance innovation with the human experience.
Sophia’s story is about more than business growth. It’s about resilience, reinvention, and the power of leading with both strategy and heart.
