“For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.” ~ Virginia Woolf. On this International Women’s Day, GlobalSpa recognizes and celebrates the women in the industry as we delve into their success mantra they follow, mistakes that have helped them grow, and of course, their WELLNESS philosophy.
Anjali Mehra is the Chief Brand Officer, and Senior Vice President Marketing – The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts.
What is your wellness philosophy?
Wellness is a state of mind, body, and spirit. It is important to be happy and content and feel good about yourself and everything around you. I also believe wellness is a personal journey and what wellness means to you today depends on what stage of the journey you are at. It is about creating a sense of balance and calm and joy and sharing this with everyone around you.
Your success mantra?
Believe in yourself and be the change you would like to see around you. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. I have always believed in the serenity prayer –God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
A lesson you learned from making a mistake?
Accept failure with grace and learn from it. It's ok to make mistakes. After all, you are human. What is important is to learn from your mistakes and ensure you don’t make the same mistake twice.
Any piece of advice for all the women out there?
Believe in the power of your dreams. If you can dream it, you can make it happen. There is no shortcut to success. Hard work always pays.
What has been your biggest pride as a doyenne?
My children are my biggest pride and joy.
