#151 Anita Mendiratta : I never believed that a successful woman had to be a man in a skirt
Description
On this episode we hear from Anita. I have admired Anita for many years and so I am honoured to be able to share her story with you all today. Thank you, Debbie, for the introduction. Like me, she was raised in an environment where she viewed the world without boundaries, not just geographically but also socially, culturally, and economically. She started her corporate career within FMCG and then she started her own firm 22 years ago in tourism and development. Throughout our conversation we bonded on our shared experiences as Asian daughters growing up in different countries, that is not our own and learning to be adaptable and respectful. She shares with us her experiences during covid, which then inspired her to write the book 'The Call to Leadership: Unlocking the Leader Within in Times of Crisis' about the leaders that stepped up. She wanted to write this book to recognise and acknowledge those leaders and ensure they do not get forgotten. She shares one of the things she learnt from writing this book is that everyone is human. I am in complete alignment for her vision of gender balance, and she is one of the first persons who understood the double entendre of Inspiring Women.
