PAYAL KADAKIA CEO and co-founder, ClassPass
What does ‘having it all’ mean to you?
Knowing what’s important and having it in spades. For me, that means having a mission that inspires me, making a positive impact on the world, and being surrounded by people I love.
How do you attain work-life balance?
Time is our most valuable asset; I refuse to waste it. I set personal and professional goals, and hold myself to them. I also plan my schedule meticulously, so I’m clear about my priorities for each day, and able to spend each moment with intent. I have also learned not to feel guilty when saying no.
How do you dress for success?
I travel frequently and excercise daily, so I wear comfortable and flexible, yet tailored and feminine outfits that let me move freely and enable me to change quickly. I’m able to squeeze in a fitness class between meetings.
What gives you confidence?
I have been praticing Indian dance since I was three. Performing in front of live audiences and sharing my heritage with peers, friends, and colleagues taught me to be confident.
