Susanne, with her background in IT companies and her passion for workplace happiness, shares her personal journey of self-awareness and the pivotal moments that led her to recognize the impact of her behavior on others.

Welcome to The Knowing Self Knowing Others Podcast, where we delve into the realm of self-aware leadership with global thought leaders. In this episode, we're joined by Saieed Sadeghzadeh, a seasoned expert in leadership, personal development, and the art of self-awareness, self-care, mindfulness, and resilience building. 

Saieed Sadeghzadeh's journey to success has been a complex one, shaped by his upbringing, culture, and perfectionist tendencies. As a leader, he found himself caught in a cycle of relentless effort and sacrifice, neglecting his own well-being in pursuit of achievement. This experience has given him a deep understanding of the struggles that many leaders face, and the importance of self-awareness in navigating the complexities of leadership. It wasn't until he hit rock bottom that he realized the true power of self-awareness, and now he is dedicated to helping other leaders prioritize their health and happiness.

Saieed shares his personal journey of burnout, recovery, and transformation, shedding light on the pivotal role of self-awareness and self-regulation in his healing process. We explore the power of authenticity in leadership, navigating stress, and the importance of work-life harmony. Saieed's insights resonate deeply as he advocates for mindful leadership, self-reflection, and nurturing a culture of well-being in the workplace.
