About this listen

Are you in the process of reinventing yourself or your organization? Innovation Starts with I will help you future-proof yourself through a transformative journey of self-discovery.

In this awe-inspiring work that explores self-awareness as an integral prerequisite to an innovative mindset, Saleema Vellani, entrepreneur and innovation strategist, serves to re-envision innovation.

As we navigate the current Reinvention Revolution, one thing has become crystal clear: Innovation isn’t just about technology—it’s about being human.

Every day, we are bombarded with the need to rebrand, revamp, and redesign ourselves to adapt to the rapidly changing atmosphere.

In all this chaos, how can you build self-awareness, authenticity, and empathy into what you put out into the world?

As part of her research, Saleema embarked on a 100 Coffee Challenge, conducted design thinking workshops around the globe, and created innovative and collaborative solutions to problems in her various capacities. Along the way, she found herself developing tools and frameworks that truly reflect the ripple impact of conversations, collaborations, and compassion for the self and others.

Designed as part-self help, and part-business, Innovation Starts with I is an inspiring and thoughtful exploration of the power of innovation, reinvention, and entrepreneurship as tools and agents of change for the future.

Narrated through captivating storytelling coupled with practical guidance from trailblazing thought leaders, such as Arianna Huffington, Alex Osterwalder, and Nina Ansary, this book will give you the tools and tips to master the art of reinvention and maximize your impact.

Read this to reinvent yourself!

I was honored to be interviewed for this book, and to meet the author in person. Innovation Starts with I is a pleasure to read/listen to - one of the rare self help books that's also a page turner.

Saleema masterfully blends her own story, practical frameworks, and actionable advice into a book that's both entertaining, inspiring, and genuinely transformative. Anyone who is going through a period of reinvention would find this book immensely valuable, and I find myself referring back to it often as I'm going through my own period of reinvention.

Saleema has achieved a lot of successes in her career, but she doesn't talk down at the reader (like self help books sometimes do). Instead, Saleema presents herself as a relatable, caring friend that genuinely wants what's best for you, and generously shares everything she's learned to make your reinvention journey as smooth and productive as possible. As a result, you'll leave the book feeling like you too can achieve great things, no matter the challenges you may have encountered in your life. Meeting Saleema in real life further reinforced this impression, as she cam across as wise beyond her years, but also humble, generous, caring and down-to-earth.

I appreciated how Saleema structured the book, emphasizing the importance of introspection and starting with "I", then branching out to collaboration and empathy - the "we," with the ultimate goal to get very clear on how we can have a positive impact beyond ourselves - and leave the world a little better than we found it.

This book is a must read for anyone going through a reinvention journey. It'll give you a clear path to follow, useful frameworks to use along the way, and an encouraging friend to support you throughout.
