Sahar Schwaninger

Business Consultant Sahar Schwaninger on fleeing Iran, realising she lacked a mind-body connection, and how to bring more humanity to business.

Joining me on this week’s episode is Sahar Schwaninger, Founder and CEO of the culture & mindset development consultancy, Human Harbours. In this candid, deep and often touching episode, Sahar talks about being born in Iran during the revolution, fleeing the country with her parents at an early age, and how in becoming a mother herself, she was able to re-examine her trauma. Sahar and I also dive into how the shallowness of corporate culture has led to chronic burnout for many employees, the silver linings of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the need to coin new words for nuanced concepts in both our personal and professional lives.
