“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.

Shivani Goel is the VP Marketing of Forever New, a brand that celebrates the feminine beauty of women, a signature style flowing through every creative element.

What is your wellness philosophy?

Wellness for me is self-directed wellbeing. It improves one’s quality of life. Small healthy habits on a daily basis help you thrive in life and maintain a quality life that allows you to get most out of your daily routine. For me, it brings joy and a sense of purpose.

Your success mantra?

My success mantra is to always give my best in whatever I am doing. I believe in getting inspired by my fellow beings and try to accept my failures as well. I have always believed that one should always learn from new things and look for ways of improvement. I guess these things have always helped me grow and gain success.

A lesson you learned from making a mistake?

Mistakes teach us to be more responsible. Being able to accept it and learn that we can be flawed is a beautiful thing. It helps me to rework on my goals, redefine expectations and give in my 100% always, no matter the outcome.

Any piece of advice for all the women out there?

One advice I would like to give all the women out there is always believe in yourself, be independent and confident in whatever you are doing and voice out your opinions.

What has been your biggest pride as a doyenne?

My biggest pride has been the fact that I am able to inspire so many young girls around me. This motivates me to work harder each day so that I can create an impact and achieve bigger things in life.
