Transform Your Workplace Pause, Breathe, and Choose with Naz Beheshti
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.
