On Nov 11, 2019

Nov. 11, 2019, New Delhi : Renowned Spiritual Guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar delivered keynote address at the 12th Annual Awards & Conference of International Women’s Entrepreneurial Challenge Foundation, IWEC 2019, organised by FICCI Ladies Organisation (FLO).

Addressing a gathering of over 250 women entrepreneurs from 20 countries, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar spoke about Emotional intelligence in Business and Leadership. He stressed upon the benefits of a calm mind to win over any difficult situation in work and personal life. Taking stress does not lead to success, rather adversely affect both mind and body. A relaxed mind can lead to ideas and innovations and thus help one to move towards success, giving examples of Einstein and Newton.. The talk was followed by a 10 minute guided meditation to experience calm and peace within.

Harjinder Kaur Talwar, FLO President & Co-Chair of the IWEC Conference said, “It is a moment of great honour to have Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji with us today at the prestigious moment. FLO is hosting the awards for the second time in India and we are delighted to hear the words of wisdom and begin our conference on a high note”.
