Podcasts about prananaz

Welcome back to another episode of the True Fiction Project Podcast! This week I enjoyed speaking with Naz Beheshti, author of the book, Pause. Breathe. Choose. and CEO of Prananaz, a corporate wellness company that improves leadership effectiveness, employee well-being, and company culture. First, Naz discusses her experience working with Steve Jobs and the valuable lessons she gained as his Executive Assistant that set forth the trajectory of her life. She shares the importance of a holistic approach to well-being, with a focus on rest and recovery. Naz provides several beautiful examples of how well-being drives success.     The episode ends with the short story, Pressure Cooker, by Logan Rose. Listen as we follow a woman who lives with intention, practices self-care, and nourishes her body and mind everyday life. In order to do well, you must be well to escape the “pressure cooker” of life.     IN THIS EPISODE:  [2:02] Naz shares her experience with her first job working for Steve Jobs.   [4:36] Is it a misconception that Steve Jobs was hard to work for?   [7:04] Why do we need multiple areas of interest/activities to be successful?  [11:30] How was Naz's definition of healthy actually unhealthy?   [13:34] Naz explains her philosophy about “doing something you love every day.”  [17:58] What are Naz's thoughts on children having over-packed schedules that limit boredom?   [19:57] For a successful CEO, is this a CEO who is naturally attuned to play and recover, or does that have to be taught?  [21:25] How does Prananaz work?  [22:55] How was Steve Jobs so attuned to his own personal well-being?  [25:43] How did Naz find her Exec Admin role with Steve Job as a complete accident?  [28:58] A short story Pressure Cooker by Logan Rose  KEY TAKEAWAYS:  Well-being drives success. In order to do well, you must be well. Your body, mind, soul, and spirit must constantly be re-booted to be well-rounded and successful.    Play and recovery help you show up as your best self. Think of something that makes you happy and is fun; make that activity a standing time/practice in your week. This should be non-negotiable and something you consistently do.   Boredom invites creativity. When bored, you often find something to fill the time that brings you great joy. Take the time to get bored, get quiet, and discover what fills your cup. Life is a pressure cooker; it never slows down, so create play and well-being to control your life.     Fiction Credits:  Short story written and read by: Logan Rose  BIO:  Naz Beheshti (pronounced nawz beh-hehsh-tee) is the author of Pause.

Listen as author and wellness coach, Naz Beheshti helps you process decisions, get clarity, and take that leap of faith to what you really want. As former assistant to Steve Jobs, she witnessed firsthand how to live your passion and your truth. Naz opens up about her collaboration with Jobs, how he came to her in a dream and became the inspiration behind her book; and how her 11-month-old continues to be her daily teacher.   “Think about one thing you haven't done that you want to do or something you have never done. Like my client who wanted to start guitar lessons. Just start doing it. Start small; don't commit to a huge thing. Start small; see how you like it and just build from there.”   She talks about how the recent pandemic brought about a change in the attitude and perception that companies had towards their employees.   “Leaders were asking how do I connect with my employees better? We all are going through a hard time. The pandemic brought people together in a very special way. Because of all the hardships and emotional instability and unknowns that the pandemic brought. But we are all experiencing it together. We are all in a similar situation and circumstance.”   Naz reflects on her career as a wellness coach, speaker, and author to provide practical and very insightful advice on how to tackle obstacles; how her first boss and mentor Steve Jobs taught her to be the CEO of her well-being and how you can do the same.   “Steve being my first boss and my first mentor, he was the first person to show me, up close and personally, just being in contact with him daily and working in his office, what it truly meant to live your best life and live a life with passion and purpose. He truly embodied what later I trademarked, Become the CEO of your well-being.”   In this episode: (01:55) – On Working with Steve Jobs, her first mentor.

With vast experience at well-known companies such as Apple, Yahoo!, and AstraZeneca, Naz Beheshti is no stranger to workplace intensity and stress. But even though stress seems to be an unavoidable part of our daily lives, we can't let it control our thoughts and decisions. In this episode of the Transform Your Workplace podcast, Brandon Laws interviews Naz Beheshti, Founder and CEO of Prananaz and author of Pause, Breathe, Choose: Become the CEO of Your Wellbeing. The two discuss mindfulness techniques to deal with stress in the workplace in a healthy way. Of course, these practices aren't just helpful for the workplace but should be incorporated into every area of our lives. TAKEAWAYS We can never increase the number of hours in the day, but we can optimize our energy and wellbeing so that we can work more efficiently. Senior leadership must lead by example because when communication is coming directly from the CEO or C-level, it helps engage the employees in health and wellness initiatives. When we take that mindful breath, we are instantly re-engaged into the present moment, and when we are present, we are better equipped to make better choices.  To avoid unnecessary stress, use the ACE method: become aware of the source of your stress, change your mindset, and take empowered and effective action. GUEST AT A GLANCE With vast experience at well-known companies such as Apple, Yahoo!, and AstraZeneca, Naz Beheshti is no stranger to workplace intensity and stress.

Our guest today is Naz Beheshti. She is the author of Pause. Breathe. Choose: Become the CEO of Your Wellbeing. Naz opens the show by diving deep into her background. Previously, Naz went through many corporate experiences including working as the executive assistant to Steve Jobs. Listen as she shares how he inspired her to focus on her wellbeing in the workplace by watching him walk the walk. Most people don't realize that overworking yourself is a dead-end street. In reality, we should be prioritizing our holistic wellbeing. If we don't have our well-being, then we can't enjoy any fruits of our labor. Overall, we need to BE well to DO well. Tune in as Naz gives tips on improving your wellness, mitigating stress, and making mindful choices.    In This Episode: [02:25] Naz Beheshti dives into her background – including working as the executive assistant to Steve Jobs.  [05:25] Workplace stress is dead-end stress; don't get caught up in the productivity trap.  [08:30] Naz explains why the ultimate wealth is wellbeing.  [12:05] Once you understand the value of self-care, you will prioritize it more frequently.  [14:50] How to manage the balance between being connected + unconnected at the same time.  [18:00] About the practice of mindfulness.  [19:55] The meaning behind Pause. Breathe. Choose. [21:55] How to ditch the inner critic and let the inner coach succeed.  [26:00] The importance of taking a break every ninety minutes.    Key Takeaways: You should always work smarter and put in quality work rather than work more hours and increase your work quantity.  Your wellbeing should be your number one priority – if you don't have wellbeing, then all the money, cars, houses, and trips cannot be enjoyed.  One day each week, have a tech-free day.  Practice mindfulness every day. That way, you can unveil your truest self and desires.   Bio:  Naz Beheshti is the author of Pause. Breathe. Choose.: Become the CEO of Your Well-Being.

My guest today is here to talk about why we need to prioritize self-care to do our best work, and she shares a step-by-step approach on how to do so in order to live our best life and do our best work.    Naz Beheshti is the author of Pause. Breathe. Choose.: Become the CEO of Your Well-Being. She is super excited about the release of her new book. In it, she presents a framework to fulfill our highest potential in all aspects of our lives. She learned many of the lessons in the book from her first boss right after college.

[03:37] She gets to share her effective method on how to live your best life on a larger scale. [04:38] Naz worked with Steve Jobs right out of college as his executive assistant. He embodied well-being and running a successful company. She had to work hard to provide the excellence that he demanded. [07:13] The inner work that we need to do is a better mindset. It all starts within. We need intrinsic motivation before we change our behavior.  [10:46] Daily consistency is important. Ten minutes is better than zero minutes.  [13:01] Advice for leaders includes shifting from a should mindset to a must mindset and prioritizing. Make time and block it off in your calendar. You are just as important as anything else on your calendar. [16:12] Naz's book includes the seven A's. Adopt is for adopting a healthy lifestyle and achieving your highest potential. Allocate, play and recovery time is all about rebooting your mind, body and creativity. [19:41] Avoid is about avoiding unnecessary stress. It's about taking preventive measures to avoid chronic stress. [19:58] Alter the situation is about making a change to attain a better outcome. Adapt to the stressor is understanding the bigger picture to gain perspective. Accepting what you cannot change helps you have greater peace of mind. [20:22] Attend to connection is about cultivating meaningful relationships and limitless possibilities. [21:17] The three types of stress include acute, chronic stress, and which is the productive and positive stress. [24:25] A sign of chronic stress is lasting for more than six months and having a feeling of hopelessness and helplessness. It feels like an unresolved stress. [25:26] The three p's include pain which we all experienced differently. Prana stands for vital life energy. It's the vehicle that gets us from pain to purpose. We are energized when prana is flowing freely. Purpose can be seen as our daily intentions and our life's mission. [27:27] Pranayama is a very effective way to align your chakras and release negativity and toxins. Getting more oxygen to your brain really helps energize you. [32:04] The MAP Method is a holistic framework to navigate your mindful journey. The MAP is an acronym for master mindfulness, apply better choices to manage stress and create resilience, and the P stands for promote yourself to CEO of your well-being. [34:18] It's about work-life engagement and being engaged in all areas of your life. Naz takes a holistic approach. [36:30] COVID has helped elevate the importance of mental health. [39:43] Hindsight allows us to look back and connect the dots and find the meaning in our past experiences. [40:04] We learn more about NAZ in the Rapid Round including how she starts her day and an important action step for well being.    Guest Contact –   Naz Beheshti Pause. Breathe.
