If you are a woman entrepreneur looking for more
success and better results, here's a secret tool that will help you get there.
Meditation - one of the key management skills today. Here are a few quick
mantras to help you.
#1: Juggling home and work becomes easy
All women, either working or running their own
business, would agree that playing one role is no excuse to be lax with their
primary tasks at home as responsible wives, daughters-in-law, or mothers.
Sometimes, the pressure can be taxing, especially for business women who don’t
always work in 9-5 shifts. A few minutes of meditation during the day can hone
the skill to multi- task effortlessly. You will feel fresh and energized to
carry out both the duties equally well and also find more time for yourself!
#2: Meditation makes you a natural leader
As a business woman leader, you are a role model for
your employees, so it becomes key for you to act with a cool head in all
situations as well as remain approachable to your team. Meditation helps polish
the intrinsic qualities of a leader – inner confidence, strength, foresight,
clarity and unbiased approach to act in the larger interest of the
organization.
#3: Right decisions at the right time
When you meditate regularly, see how your intuition
becomes so strong that you naturally start making the right decisions that
benefit people and organizations in the long run.
#4: Creative solutions to challenges
As a woman entrepreneur, you are sure to come across
challenges at every step, but it is important to be able to find appropriate
solutions, again in the larger interest of the whole company. This spontaneity
is a skill which meditation helps develop. Meditation instills enthusiasm and
zeal in women so that you don’t look at challenges as roadblocks and are prepared
to tackle them with an open mind and fresh perspective.
#5: Learning mind management
Management forms an essential part of every
organization – be it health (ensuring that employees are healthy and
productive), financial, or employee management. But the mantra for the smooth
functioning of day-to-day operations is Mind Management - that is extremely
important for a cordial work environment. As a woman entrepreneur, meditation
teaches you how to keep your mind calm, relaxed and
centered, which reflects in your behavior with others too. Only then can you
inspire people to work together with you.
#6: Being assertive rather than aggressive
Being a woman entrepreneur, it is sometimes natural
to compare yourself with men and feel pressured to perform equally well. So you
may sometimes find yourself getting aggressive with your employees to get work
done or make them listen to you. Meditation can teach business women the skill
to be polite yet assertive. You will see an innate strength develop in
yourself, to bring a diverse bunch of people together and move ahead as a team.
You are able to give your team a pleasant, organized and satisfying working
experience.
#7: Conflict resolution
Conflicts are natural to every organization and you
have a great responsibility to resolve them. How do you negotiate win-win terms
in such situations? How do you make people listen to you who are set in their
own ideas of right and wrong? This requires a combination of skill and
presence. Both these qualities develop naturally in women with meditation. When
you meditate, you also develop the patience to listen to all parties with an
open mind and make unbiased decisions.
#8: Creating a harmonious, progressive society
As women, we are born compassionate and so women
entrepreneurs should use this innate quality – to create a harmonious and
progressive society where people are happy, prosperous and contented.
Meditation helps us develop this intent and work towards it. As Sri Sri Ravi
Shankar says, “The role of women today is of utmost importance. In fact, it is
the only thing that determines whether a society is strong and harmonious, or
otherwise. Women are the backbone of society.”
