Ms. Shefali Raj’s inspiring journey

Ms Shefali comes from a business family. Speakwel, A Finishing School was started when she was still in college because she had confidence in her abilities. She had her share of difficulties, but she dealt with them front-on. A professional setting for teaching English and Personality Development back in 1993 was not considered possible. However, she was unfazed by anything.

Her foundation was solidified by her parents’ self-assurance and faith in her. At PSIT Kanpur 13 years ago, she was the Director of Corporate Relations and afterwards Managing Director of PSI Group of Institutions. The post of president of four universities is unquestionably demanding. She’s a person’s person and leader from birth, thanks to her qualities.

It was also challenging to get the word out because there was no technology to help. It was a long and exhausting battle, but it was enjoyable. The resulting epidemic and lockdown was another huge hurdle, but technology saved the day. Speakwel was entirely digitised, and its worldwide reach grew as a result. Students from France, Dubai, and everywhere around the world benefit from their English instruction, which they deliver to students throughout India and the world. She began her career at PSIT Group of Institutions as Director Of corporate Relations and worked her way up to Managing Director. Throughout her journey, she considered her staff her most significant asset.

What does success mean to Ms Shefali Raj

After reaching where she is today, Ms Shefali says there’s no specific meaning to the word “success”. It receives its purpose from several different ingredients. A perfect life is no fun. It is flavourless. Adding spicy ingredients makes life fun and worth living. As for Miss Ms Shefali, her struggles were the “spice” of her life. As she set on her journey, she faced her set of trials and tribulations. From dealing with those who couldn’t see the significance of Personality Development to forging on in what was, at the time, uncharted territory, to standing where she is today was quite a hectic, adventurous journey. With everything life grants her, she finds something worth learning in it every day.

What is life for Ms. Shefali Raj

That brings us to the key question: What is life for Ms Shefali? She says life is a series of climaxes. She disliked complaining. Her philosophy of life was not to criticize someone for her hardships. Instead, she wished to accept them with open arms. Cursing the people and God will not bring forth the changes. You need to change the way you view the world.

Like Gandhi Ji said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world!”

 Ms. Shefali Raj’s view on Humanity

We often fail to define what indeed is humanity. Ms Shefali describes them in one simple sentence, “Live and Let Live”. As a society, and of course, as human beings, we are committed to passing unnecessary judgments toward another person. We do this despite being ignorant of their story. Humanity is at a point where they do not even spare trees and animals. For Ms Shefali, “Humanity is a safe space where all living beings should co-exist.” She often seeks forgiveness from all the living creatures n case she causes them any harm. This is what humanity is to her—a safe space.

Ms. Shefali Raj’s piece of advice for the youth

With her inspiring story, Miss Ms Shefali is considerate enough to give the coming generation a piece of advice. She says that “You are powerful! You are powerful because you have the choice to bring about a change, maybe a small change like swapping your morning tea with a glass of water or a huge change, which can change the world. We would see a new face of India if we realise our potential to bring about a change and work towards it by gaining knowledge using credible sources.”

Every single action in our life brings forth consequences. Our efforts are strong enough to bring significant changes that we often forget to realise, so it is essential to act sincerely.

As for people who are disheartened by unexpected situations, life is not constant. However, a change in life is. Time changes, and so will change your status. Your actions are bound to bring forth changes in the world. Not everything goes our way, but there’s a reason behind every change. It’s essential to accept failures. It’s only when we fail that we try harder the next time. Acceptance is a virtue. Accept that nothing you come cross is permanent. Your mind will fall at peace, but you need to keep trying.

Conclusion

Ms. Shefali Raj is not just an inspiration to the youth but to the entire society. Indeed she is a symbol of woman empowerment who is a guiding star in the world of education. We wish her all the best in her future endeavours.
