The book explores the integration of psychology and organizational development to foster personal and professional growth. They emphasized that self-awareness is foundational to effective leadership and a healthy organizational culture. Dr. Behnam highlighted the importance of recognizing how individual actions impact an organization and advocated cultivating a culture of awareness, responsibility, and continuous learning. He also underscored the role of cultural sensitivity in addressing turnover and resistance, stressing that organizations must intentionally invest in creating empowering and inclusive environments. Dr. Foojan focused on how unresolved personal patterns—often rooted in early life experiences—can influence workplace dynamics. She shared insights on how these unconscious behaviors can affect relationships with authority figures and coworkers, creating ripple effects across teams and the broader organization. By acknowledging and healing these internal patterns, individuals can foster more harmonious and productive work environments. Both authors stressed the need for leaders to model emotional intelligence, self-reflection, and accountability. Dr. Behnam noted that leadership is not about perfection but about being mindful of one's influence and being willing to apologize and adjust when necessary. Dr. Foojan added that effective leadership involves balancing empathy with accountability and aligning one's role with personal strengths. They also emphasized that personal and professional growth is not a one-time achievement but a lifelong process requiring ongoing reflection, learning, and collaboration. Tools provided in the book are designed to support individuals and teams in building emotional intelligence, fostering positive organizational culture, and navigating change with resilience. Additionally, they highlighted the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in creating sustainable, thriving organizations.   *iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i...) *Google Play (https://play.google.com/music/m/Inpl5...) *Stitcher (https://www.stitcher.com/) *YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/DrFoojan)   Platforms to Like and Follow: *Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/DrFoojanZeine/) *Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/Dr.FoojanZeine) *Twitter (https://www.twitter.com/DrZeine/) *LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/DrFoojanZeine) *Tiktok (https:///www.tiktok.com/dr.foojanzeine)

Bill, Behnam, and Janatan dive into the high-stakes complexities of U.S.-Iran relations, unpacking President Trump's dual-track approach of military readiness and diplomatic outreach to the Islamic Republic. They discuss Iran's internal reactions to U.S. policy shifts, Saudi Arabia's cautious recalibration toward Tehran, and intensifying military pressure on the Houthis.

In this episode of "Ditch the Lab Coat," Dr. Mark Bonta welcomes Dr. Behnam Banihashemi, a cardiologist specializing in cardiovascular prevention, wellness, and longevity. Dr. Banihashemi discusses the concept of Medicine 2.0, which includes advancements in pharmaceuticals and interventions that have extended life expectancy in the Western world, along with a focus on improving lifestyle choices to further enhance longevity. However, he emphasizes that the real key to living a longer, healthier life lies in addressing lifestyle factors such as fitness, nutrition, sleep, and mental health.Dr. Banihashemi explains that although cardiac procedures like stents can be life-saving during heart attacks, they do not necessarily improve life expectancy for those with stable angina. Instead, lifestyle changes have a more significant impact. He highlights the influence of pharmaceutical funding on medical research and practice, leading to an emphasis on treatments rather than preventive care.The conversation also covers the limitations of the Canadian healthcare system, which does not incentivize primary prevention, and the potential benefits of certain quick fixes like metformin or supplements like protein and creatine. Dr. Banihashemi stresses that small, consistent actions, despite not being marketable, are essential for longevity and that the healthcare system often focuses more on managing diseases than preventing them. Ultimately, individuals hold the power to take charge of their health through day-by-day lifestyle decisions, adding life to their years, not just years to their lives.Get Dr. Banihashemi's 8 Steps to Conquer Chronic Pain: A Doctor's Guide to Lifelong Relief : https://www.amazon.ca/Steps-Conquer-Chronic-Pain-Lifelong/dp/0778807118 Episode Highlights:Longevity Myths Debunked: Dr. Ben sheds light on the widespread misconception that a magic pill exists for living longer.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has fired hundreds of ballistic missiles at Israeli cities today. This comes after Israel finally went on the offensive after sustaining nearly a year of escalatory attacks from Iran's Lebanese terror proxy Hezbollah.In recent weeks, Hezbollah's missile and drone arsenal has been crippled. Senior Hamas and Hezbollah commanders have been eliminated, including Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Deputy Commander Abbas Nilforoushan, senior Hezbollah member Fuad Shukr, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, and top terrorists in Hezbollah's elite Radwan forces. Israel's daring and complex operations -- in support of Israeli and U.S. national security -- have provoked threats from Iran's regime to 'exact revenge' through the activation of its web of terror proxies. So, what lies ahead? How long might it realistically take for Israel to neutralize or dismantle the enduring threats Hezbollah and Iran pose to its sovereignty and safety? Will the regime in Iran light a match and reignite its 'ring of fire' in a vengeful attempt to settle the score?For more: https://www.fdd.org/events/2024/10/01/iran-escalates-middle-east-war-with-direct-attacks-on-israel-fdd-sitrep/
