Jerry Colonna is a sought after coach, author, CEO and cofounder of Reboot.io, an executive coaching and leadership development firm dedicated to the notion that better humans make better leaders. More importantly, he is a wise elder in a world where we need them more than ever.
His earlier book Reboot: Leadership and the Art of Growing Up stayed on my nightstand long after I read it as a reference for how to stay more human. It is a must read for anyone intending on being an adult.
In this week’s episode we explore the power of presence and the opportunities for deeper connection and healing with one another.
We talk about the sacred power of “witchy women”, the places our stories and beliefs keep us stuck and then he turns the tables on me for some 1:1 coaching.
Our conversation wanders and weaves from Jerry’s hailed success as a venture capitalist to his own experience of depression and suicidality. From the hard won wisdom he culled from decades in both therapy and on the meditation cushion, to the role Buddhism has played in his life.
We discuss teachers who have sustained him like friend Parker Palmer and Pema Chodron and the programs he now teaches that combine practical skills, radical inquiry, mindfulness and conscious leadership.
Prior to his career as a coach, Jerry was a partner with J.P. Morgan Partners (JPMP), the private equity arm of J.P. Morgan Chase. Prior to that, he co founded New York City-based Flatiron Partners with Fred Wilson, which became one of the nation's most successful early-stage investment programs. Reboot offers executive coaching and programs that combine practical skills, radical inquiry, mindfulness and conscious leadership.
His latest book Reunion: Leadership and the Journey to Belonging is coming out soon.
Here are some things you’ll discover in this episode:
- Why kindness may just make all the difference.
- The power of your presence.
- How we can be more conscious adults and global citizens working for a common good.
- Questions to guide radical self inquiry.
and so much more…
Enjoy!
