Steve Jobs executive assistant Naz Beheshti has published a book called “Pause. Breathe. Choose .: Become the CEO of Your Well-Being ”. In an interview with CNBC she explained how working with the Apple co-founder inspired her into her life as a welfare trainer, speaker and author. She also clarified some misconceptions about Jobs.
"There was a big misunderstanding about him, it was said that he was a workaholic and that he was really hard to work with. Yes, in some cases he was," Beheshti said.
But in the midst of being a tough boss, Beheshti says Jobs, who died in 2011, gave a lot of priority to his well-being, which gave him "energy, clarity and vision for his success and to build Apple ". Beheshti says not only did Jobs eat really healthy, but he also meditated daily and did regular physical activity.
"I quickly discovered how Steve Jobs spent his free time and how that was one of the keys to his success as a great innovator. "Whenever anyone was looking for Steve, or whenever they could not contact him on the phone, there was only one place you could always find him: In the office of Jony Ive, the former head of Apple design," Beheshti wrote. we might get tired of trying to connect with him, trying to have him in meetings.At one point, we would have to call Jony's office and ask for his help to pull Steve out of the time. "His free time with Jony gave him space and opportunities to laugh, imagine, create and have a renewed sense of freedom."
