Season 5 Ep 10 Just 8 Simple Tips to Start your own Podcast

Welcome to Season 6 with me Shivraj Parshad. As a Coach, Mentor and Media educator, this becomes a powerful medium for me to speak to you about events, ideas and people who left a profound impact on me and therefore can make a world of difference to you. I was recently asked to re-examine my 50 years of life on earth, as a perfectly written novel. What I discovered was mind blowing. With each passing phase of my life, certain gifts in terms of knowledge and strengths made me learn a lot more about myself, which I feel compelled to pass on. Over the next few episodes, I will be either talking to you about or interviewing folks whose insights and collective wisdom will definitely give you more to learn as you listen along. And if for some reason you need that safe and trusted space to fully explore and unlock your own potential. I’m always here for you. Just write to me on Shivraj@brevis.in or search for me across social media to block my time to just talk. Since learning is also about listening, I would love to hear from you. This podcast is all about it's listeners, we want you to throw your hat in the ring. Who do you think has a compelling story to tell? What irks you? What inspires you?

Season 5 Ep 1. Mindful Communication - A Guided Meditation to Speak Empathetically

June was Pride month with the corporate spotlight on LGBTQ+ inclusion. But what about the remaining 11 months? Get your pens and papers ready for this crucial conversation with <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/aparna-mittal-22a3923b/'>Aparna Mittal</a>, Founder of <a href='https://www.samanacentre.com/'>Samāna Centre</a> for Gender, Policy and Law. She addresses very existential questions:  Do issues of  differences like gender, sexuality, other identities of caste, creed, class and so on and so forth, not matter? What are the implications of overlooking them in our dynamic and diverse workforce? Is it only about the business bottom-line or more? Aparna tells us how she works with corporate, non-corporate entities and leaders to get them to introspect on what Diversity, Inclusion and Equity (DI&amp;E) actually entails. She breaks it down not just in conceptual and compliance terms but also what it means on the ground for businesses who plan to be successful and stick around.  What did you think of this conversation? I&apos;d love to know. Just email me at shivraj@brevis.in. You can also let me know if there is someone you&apos;d like featured on my podcast by sending me a voice ?on WhatsApp to +919625475442 or email Shivraj@brevis.in.

Ep. 11 - Taking the Science & Practice of Well Being to the Young and Brave with Vinati Dev and Deepti Sen Gupta, Co-Founders, Sai Shiko

Welcome to Season 6 with me Shivraj Parshad. As a Coach, Mentor and Media educator, this becomes a powerful medium for me to speak to you about events, ideas and people who left a profound impact on me and therefore can make a world of difference to you. I was recently asked to re-examine my 50 years of life on earth, as a perfectly written novel. What I discovered was mind blowing. With each passing phase of my life, certain gifts in terms of knowledge and strengths made me learn a lot more about myself, which I feel compelled to pass on. Over the next few episodes, I will be either talking to you about or interviewing folks whose insights and collective wisdom will definitely give you more to learn as you listen along. And if for some reason you need that safe and trusted space to fully explore and unlock your own potential. I’m always here for you. Just write to me on Shivraj@brevis.in or search for me across social media to block my time to just talk. Since learning is also about listening, I would love to hear from you. This podcast is all about it's listeners, we want you to throw your hat in the ring. Who do you think has a compelling story to tell? What irks you? What inspires you? And more importantly what do you have to say? Send us a voice ?on WhatsApp to +919625475442 or email Shivraj@brevis.in. If we like your message, you could feature on our future episodes.
