In this episode of the Find Calm Here Podcast, I speak with Ayelet Baron! She's passionate about helping others become aware of and unleash their ability to create a fulfilling life by learning to trust in their hearts and tap into their imagination. Ayelet is a multi-award-winning author of the F*ck the Bucket List trilogy, and Our Journey to Corporate Sanity. Her dream is that the F*ck the Bucket List triplets, as she calls them, help unleash millions and millions of heart-centered people who are ready to do their own inner work and ultimately join us in the HeartPickings community as we work together as architects of humanity.Show notes:7:02: Ayelet starts with her early experiences of community throughout her life, both personal and professional.  This includes being a systems operator, running communities of interest, and launching an internal online community that was before its time.15:10: Ayelet explains what she's doing currently, Heart Pickings, which is going to be about connection and dialogue, helping people find one other.  17:39: There are amazing people all around the world that are creating healthy systems that serve the vast majority of humanity, not the few. But we don't know about them.22:44: Discussing the books she has written and how they are for anyone at any age, Ayelet talks about how she hopes that one day her books are not needed, and we live in a world where we are healthy and we know what community is.27:09: Moving on to launching, Ayelet highlights it's taking more in architecture and building, but she's hoping to launch in the next six months.

*This is an episode I published under the podcast's old title: 'the INF Club podcast'. In August 2021, I renamed the podcast 'Diary of an indie writer' (see more below). — My conversation partner this week is Ayelet Baron. In Ayelet's own words: "Ayelet is a multiple award winning author of the F*ck the Bucket List Trilogy and Our Journey to Corporate Sanity, and a co-contributor to Dear CEO, a book by Thinkers50. She had a very successful traditional career as a strategy and innovation leader at Cisco where she worked around the world. Ayelet is recognized by Forbes as one of the top 50 global female futurists and is one of the top 50 Future of Work leaders for Thinkers360. Her current work focuses on conscious leadership and creating whole systems and lives." — Some of the things we talk about: - firing herself from her PhD programme, her experiences in the corporate world, & the family + societal expectations she felt - where Ayelet's ambition comes from, & early memories of war - on being someone who is an introvert, idealistic and emotional - moving away from unhelpful models that exist in the world & in business, and towards more whole, holistic environments - Ayelet's transformational trip to Ecuador - Going against the conventional advice and burning the bridges that are toxic for you - Ayelet's dream to write as a kid, learning to write from the heart, & her journey to being an author - Ayelet's books, & how she wrote them - What the concept of 'The Universe' means to us both - Ayelet's upcoming trek into nomadic life - Ayelet's new online platform to realise her vision & connect the creators of the world - Ayelet's words of advice for us intuitives & creatives —

Where does following the “blueprint for success” leave you?Most of us have a clearly defined picture of what it means to be successful. But somewhere along the way, among our achievements and accolades, we all experience moments of questioning, wondering whether something is still missing from our lives. How often do you feel drained by your work and your relationships vs. feeling nourished and inspired?The truth is that “success” means nothing if it isn’t aligned with your deeper purpose on this Earth. So what can you about it? Our special guest, Ayelet Baron, the author of F*ck the Bucket List, will show you how you can figure out if you’re on an unfulfilling success train to nowhere. She’ll give you practical steps to take to figure out your purpose and your path to get there. Formerly the Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer for Cisco Canada, Baron is one of Forbes Top 50 Global Female Futurists. We'll hear the incredible story of how a literal crash landing woke her up, helping her discover her life’s true purpose and giving her the courage to leave behind her jet-setting, corporate lifestyle. We’ll explore what her life lessons can mean for you directly and practically.

Ayelet Baron is an old friend here on Mindful Social, and I'm honored she asked me to preview her latest book, the first in a trilogy, called F*ck the Bucket List For The Soul- Discover The Wonder Of You. Ayelet walked away from her corporate career to pursue her truth, to face her fears, and to create a life that challenges, fulfills and enriches not only her own life but that of others. As we face so many challenges this year, everything has changed in mere days, and now is such a perfect opportunity to take a good look at the hows, whys and why not in our lives and make a choice to see the opportunities we may have been blind to until now. Listen up to hear more from Ayelet, and get the book! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jfouts/support

We have the advantage of working with 5 generations of business leaders. How can we break the technology barriers and build solid business relationships? It’s all about people, not systems. The 21st-century mindset: People over process An expert on forward-thinking leadership and new ways to work, Ayelet has identified 4 traits for 21st-century leaders, and she shares them with us. Ayelet’s explanations about what they are and why they are important will have you re-thinking the way you communicate, the way you anticipate feedback and changes, the way you look at community, and ultimately, the way you work.  With so much buzz around transparency, it seems to mean something different to everyone. Ayelet shares the importance of having a shared purpose in order to achieve the level of transparency that keeps business relationships healthy and productive. She believes we can eliminate the need to “manage” people in this century if we create and maintain trusting relationships. How will you engage with peoples’ hearts and minds as their priorities shift? How can you regain common sense when it comes to business? Listen in and bring the human spirit back into your organization. Ayelet Baron: author, speaker and activist for the human spirit Ayelet works with 21st-century leaders to create new ways of working and helps them create a new path for business as a force of social good. Ayelet believes that in the human-to-human purpose driven and experience era, more people are shifting from the myth of work-life balance to LIFEworking. Prior to co-founding CreatingIs, Ayelet was a senior executive with Cisco Systems and an innovator in Residence at Roche/Genentech. Her new book Our Journey to Business Common Sense will be released soon.

I'd like to expand a bit on the first stage of The Hero's Journey when you realize that you no longer want to live in the Ordinary World and hear a call for adventure.   This is when you live your life on purpose and choose to walk your own path instead of following someone else's footsteps.    It could be when you decide to leave the job that weights you down or stifles your creativity.    It could be when you decide to let go and stop resisting change so that you can embrace it.   Or it could be something completely different. When you feel the Call to Adventure, it's a sound only you can hear.   And it's up to you to listen.   Yesterday, Seth Godin referenced Pema Chodron and this morning I decided to reread one of my favorite books by Pema called Living Beautifully.    Pema Chodron gives a beautiful analogy for what it's like when you experience something you've never even known existed.    Pema needed cataract surgery — perhaps a surgery your parents like mine have gone through. After her eye surgery, she began to see colors and the mountain view like she never saw it before. Meer words could not accurately describe the expansiveness of beauty that she now saw.    Until then, she said, “she didn't realize how limited her vision had been.”    This metaphor pretty accurately describers what buddhists have described as being awake or enlightened.    All buddhist stuff aside, I think this also accurately describes the feeling once you start living your life on purpose and with intention — moving toward the direction you aspire to go.    Many of the people I've interviewed who have quit their mundane job to work for themselves have had a similar new vision. Many say that they didn't realize how unhappy they really were with their work beforehand.    Ayelet Baron is my favorite example of this. Ayelet is the former Chief of Strategy for Cisco Canada. Not the silver haired rapping Sysco or the food-producing company called Sysco. I'm talking about the technology company that's based in Silicon Valley and pulls in 50 billion in revenue each year. Talk about a huge company.   Ayelet chose to fire herself from her corporate job because she saw how mentally, physically, and emotionally draining it became.    While her daily routine of flying all over the world may have looked adventurous, she grew tired of living out of a suitcase and in hotel rooms.   After choosing to work for herself, she had a realization.    Here's a bit of what Ayelet had to say:   Enter Ayelet   Now, I'm not saying go quit your job and everything will be all perfect in your life. No, there are plenty of amazing companies out there that need your help. You don't need to  be an entrepreneur to live your life on purpose. The world needs teachers, airplane pilots, and any other number of salaried-based jobs.   Having A New Vision lies in living authentically to your truest self. Dig Deep. Be Real. That is real courage.    And, even though I'm not a full-time entrepreneur yet, I can tell you that it's a lot easier to work a job that has set hours and a weekly pay check.    For instance, when I sat down to plan this podcast episode, I was reading Pema Chodron's book Living Beautifully and thought how peaceful it would be to just live like a monk for a while. Meditate, look at the leaves, write and repeat.    But, then if I were to do that, I wouldn't get this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to connect with you. Which, by the way, over 20,000 people a month are tuning in and the number is growing.    So, what about you? There are plenty of moments where we are able to see anew with a whole new set of eyes. When have you experienced a new vision and saw something so beautiful you didn't even know existed beforehand?      And yes, that includes when you meet your signification other. I know when I met my wife Kaitlyn, I felt such a surge of energy inside my heart and I felt such beauty that I've never felt before meeting her. 

In this episode Futurist and Chief Instigator Ayelet Baron gives us a quick insight into the future of work, some major trends and what leaders can do to create 21st Century organisations. If you work in a fear-based, competitive organisation, a Must Listen for you!

One of the biggest challenges in healthcare is that we are still using practices that are stuck in the 1900s.  Ayelet Baron, Futurist and Chief Instigator at Simplifying Work is our guest today and we are going to take a deep dive into the concept of abundance and its impact on healthcare. Think back to the 19th century, where we did not have enough, and lived in a world of scarcity driven by economic depression and war; we had to take from others and had a deficiency mindset. In the 20th century we reshaped management practices based on scarcity where we needed to compete to survive, and now the 21st century, with a mindset of abundance, we discover unique opportunities to create new markets, products and services. Healthcare is part of the mix because it is scrambling to meet new expectations from the informed consumer.   Organizations that make a commitment to thinking from a perspective of abundance will optimize strategies by collaborating across industry walls and including the voice of the healthcare consumer to continuously generate and manage insights.  Ayelet will share where the concept of abundance is in play and making an impact.
