This thought-provoking episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to gain inspiration and insight on navigating career transitions and embracing self-reflection. 

I'm speaking with Bethany Ayers, a former COO of Peak and an advisor, coach, and mentor. Bethany recently stepped down from her corporate career without having defined her next steps, and she shared her journey of professional and personal growth with us. Listen in as Bethany talks about her experiences in tech and sales, her motivations for leaving Peak, and her process of self-reflection.

We also explored Bethany's thoughts on embracing mortality and pursuing authentic connections, as she shared the story of a LinkedIn post in which she reflected on her own mortality in light of her father's unexpected death. Bethany emphasized the importance of connecting with people on a soul level and peeling back the facades to get to who she really is. 

Finally, we explored her ideas for creating a lifestyle-based vision and how to find a career that aligns with the life you want to lead. She shared her thoughts on integrating the various aspects of her life and her plans for a women's workshop.

One of my favourite learnings from Bethany:

Envision what you would like your life to look like. Where do you live, who are you with? How do you spend your days? How do you make money? What are you remembered for? Build out a rich vision and then start to head in that direction. It doesn't mean that tomorrow you quit your job and move to Tuscany. You can still be reasonable about it but start to explore, start to talk to people, and share your vision with the world, and you'll be amazed at what starts to come back to you.
