YFLO Life Challenges: Spirituality the Way Forward An interactive session with Ms Neerja Birla New Delhi – September 18, 2009

When I was looking for someone to address us on the pertinent issue of multitasking and being able to do it with poise, calmness and ease- I couldn’t have found anyone better than Mrs. Neerja Birla.

Ms Neerja Birla, who is an extremely talented person, an epitome of effortless grace and quiet strength. Neerja serves as a Director on the Aditya Birla Group Companies and is passionate about children, education and the performing arts.

Neerja mentioned that the burning issues before most women pertain to competing demands and attention both at the work place and on the home front. As a result many ladies face an internal emotional turmoil. But this need not be so. Through a positive mindset that veers towards spirituality, you can beat away the blues. She weaved some of her own experiences and spoke on the criticality of values, quality time with the family, self confidence and passion, Understanding that work life balance does not mean an equal balance, the fluidity of life and how recoursing to spirituality is essential for that sense of inner peace – are some aspects that she dwelled upon.

Ms. Birla shared with us how spirituality has enabled her to gracefully conduct her life to create a beautiful harmonious symphony.
