“Human beings trigger other human beings, right? My teacher and friend, Parker Palmer, likes to say, riffing on Socrates, "the unexamined life may not be worth living," but if you choose to live an unexamined life, please don't take a job that involves other people, right? And in classic Midwestern Wisconsin brilliance, Parker's got it, I mean, because what he's saying is that we all have a responsibility to tidy up ourselves as we interact, because we've all been in relationships with people or had encounters with people who are kind of a mess. I often visualize little kids in adult clothes swinging their arms all around and say, Whoa, wait, to use a "Jerry-ism", use radical self inquiry to confront the parts of yourselves that you'd really rather not think about so that you're less likely to project them onto other people and cause damage. And if everybody was doing that, we might create better interpersonal relationships.” So says Jerry Colonna, founder of Reboot, and one of the most sought after CEO coaches in the world. Before he began coaching executives, Jerry was a burnt out VC, convinced that there must be a better way to impact the world—and also convinced that if he could influence the upper reaches of corporate structures, if he could help leaders heal, he could vastly improve the lives of all the employees. After all, he had observed the ripple effect of unhealed emotional wounds being taken out on other people—specifically people with less power. This is the focus of Jerry's two great books about leadership: His first one is Reboot: Leadership and the Art of Growing Up and his second is Reunion: Leadership and the Longing to Belong, which takes a probing look at power and privilege and how it can alienate those who already don't feel like they belong. In today's conversation, we talk about all of this and specifically one of Jerry's main queries. This passage is from Reunion: “While necessary, it's not enough for us to do the inner work of unpacking our childhood wounds and, with fierce radical self-inquiry, free ourselves from the need to reenact the old stories of our pasts. Radical self-inquiry that stops at the question of how we have been complicit in creating the conditions we say we don't want—a core tenet of my coaching and my book Reboot—is insufficient if it fails to look out to the world as it exists and ask how it could be better.” MORE FROM JERRY COLONNA: Reunion: Leadership and the Longing to Belong Reboot: Leadership and the Art of Growing Up Reboot Coaching Follow Jerry on Instagram To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Rabbi Tarfon said: The day is short, and the work is plentiful…It is not your duty to finish the work, but neither are you at liberty to neglect it. (Pirkei Avot 2:15-16) My conversation today with Jerry Colonna closes with him paraphrasing this powerful notion - and the work we are discussing is the work on yourself and the work to create a better world - one where everyone feels like they truly belong. In a world where many organizations are retreating from Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging initiatives, I'm grateful that Jerry is leaning into this conversation. I see the work of antiracism as firmly in the realm of what my peoples call Tikkun Olam, repairing the world. It's absolutely essential that men in positions of power and especially men who present as White, do not neglect this work.  Jerry is a graduate of Queens College and a Brooklyn native. Jerry helps people lead with humanity and equanimity. His unique blend of Buddhism, Jungian therapy, and entrepreneurial know-how has made him a sought-after coach and leader, working with some of the largest firms in the country. In his work as a coach, he draws on his experience in Venture Capital as Co-founder of Flatiron Partners, one of the most successful early-stage investment programs. Later, he was a partner with J.P. Morgan Partners, the private equity arm of J.P. Morgan Chase. As a partner with J.P. Morgan Chase, Jerry launched the Financial Recovery Fund with The Partnership for the City of New York, a $10 million-plus program aimed at creating grants for small businesses impacted by the attacks on the World Trade Center. Along with a strong commitment to the nonprofit sector, Jerry is the author of two books: REBOOT: Leadership and the Art of Growing Up (2019) and REUNION: Leadership and the Longing to Belong. (2023) Reboot was met with critical acclaim, stirring up a big question in the hearts and minds of people: “How have I been complicit in creating the conditions I say I don't want?” Jerry's second book builds on this question, asking us what benefit we get from the conditions we say we don't want - the systems of oppression that those who have eyes to see, can see. Reunion is a highly personal book that asks us all to examine our history of longing to belong - and the ways in which we have been excluded or excluded others. Key Threads in the Conversation We discuss Jerry's Journaling practice and how it is an essential conversation he has with himself, each morning. We explore what it means to be a “good man” - and how in his first book, REBOOT, he questioned whether he was a good man, while in REUNION, he built upon the assumption that he is a good man and explored (and expanded) what it means to be a good man in a world where there is division and polarization. And I get Jerry to coach me on one of my favorite questions: understanding the disowned parts of ourselves, exploring the reasons behind disconnecting from them, and the importance of integrating them back without denying them - very much in line with the process of REUNION. All while working to authentically grow in ways that matter, without self-abuse or denial. Those parts of ourselves we wrestle with wrestle back at us. Many leaders I coach want to be feel or been seen as more or less of some quality or another - they, like so many of us, feel they must be other than they are in order to belong. In my experience, fighting against our parts without understanding and loving them is a losing battle. Jerry asks us to understand the stories behind our self doubt, and to honor the ways that part of us has sought to care for and protect us in the past. I find great empathy and lovingkindness in spending time nurturing my denied parts and my clients do, too. I'm so grateful to absorb Jerry's approach to self-integration, and to expand our inner work towards creating not just a life we love, but a world we want to live in.

“True transformation, begins with a broken heart.” It's something you'll hear our guest today say a couple of times, this idea that a real crucible moment begins when something inside you breaks. When a force fundamental to you and your soul says – no more. Jerry Colonna has taken that message and run with it throughout his entire career, from the hallways of venture capital to his current venture in coaching. Today, he's out with a new book on healing that break, titled Reunion: Leadership, and the Longing to Belong. But how do you harness the power of a broken heart in the first place? How do you turn that into fuel for true transformation?

Writer Caroline Paul combines scientific research, cultural studies, medicine and psychology in her memoir about how outdoor adventure promotes brain health and a longer, happier life.Then venture capitalist turned Buddhist and executive coach, Jerry Colonna discusses radical self-inquiry in his book, “Reunion: Leadership and the Longing to Belong.”

Remembrance is the first step we take with renowned coach and Reboot CEO and Co-founder Jerry Colonna in his new book, Reunion: Leadership and the Longing to Belong. At its heart, it's an invitation towards deeper connection to our ancestors, ourselves, and each other. Each reader's path unfolds uniquely—through recognition, reconnection, and reclaiming—bringing them to a sense of belonging within themselves. Then, to one of the book's central questions: How does my sense of belonging influence the sense of belonging I create for others? “I think what is often missing is landing into our own experience; Using our own body, almost as a tuning fork, to tune into what the other person is feeling,” he says. “When we do that, there's this wordless connection that feels both safe and nourishing because we can finally just be ourselves. That, to me, is the essence of belonging.” Our conversation is an exploration of Jerry's own path to reunion, which takes him to Ireland to visit the grave of his father's biological mother; To the shade of the cottonwood tree where conversations he had with his father, 30 years after his passing, helped heal their relationship; And, to the “both and” realization he arrives at with his mother, who despite struggling with mental illness, unwaveringly saved $2 a week to buy his brother and him a camera for photography class. Jerry encapsulates his journey by sharing that—“When I reunite with who they were, I move one step closer to my own wholeness”—and invites us to embark on our own. *Editor's Note: While we experienced some audio fluctuations recording remotely, we're thankful Jerry's wisdom remains perfectly clear. Thank you for listening and understanding.

Jerry Colonna was a high-flying New York venture capitalist in the early 1990s, but his life wasn't as glamorous as most made it out to be. He was anxious, overweight, unhealthy, and unfulfilled, and after suffering a panic attack on the streets of Manhattan he gradually shifted into coaching, giving him a new lease on life and a career as one of the premier executive coaches in the United States. On this episode, Colonna calls on years of experience to discuss his life as his thoughts on resilience, discernment, self-esteem, anxiety, motivation, and the rituals that keep him fulfilled in life. Colonna is the Co-Founder of Reboot.io, an executive coaching and leadership development firm dedicated to the notion that better humans make better leaders. He is also the author of Reunion: Leadership and the Longing to Belong, now available for pre-order. -- Want even more?

“I appreciate you keeping me safe, but I'm good… I can cross the street, I can go to college, I can leave town, I can try this new job… I can even fail! And I'll be okay.”In this episode, I hope you take away a lot of beautiful realizations as much as I did talking to this week's wonderful guest. We get vulnerable and speak openly about what we think it takes to be a better leader based on our own experiences. We talk about leadership, the art of growing up, his book called Reboot which I highly recommend, and a new book coming later this year called “Reunion: Leadership and the Longing to Belong” which he teased was a “powerful book to write” and that he is very proud of it…Joining me on the mic is someone who has been on The Tim Ferris Show, The EntreLeadership Podcast with Dave Ramsey, and so many other reputable podcasts, and is now on The Leaders Lab to share his wisdom with our audience.

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!  Connect with Jerry Colonna here: Website:: https://www.reboot.io/Instagram:: https://www.instagram.com/jerry.colonna/Linked In:: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerry-colonna-reboot/ Quick note, I just want to say thank you for listening to this episode.

Jerry's new book “Reunion: Leadership and the Journey to Belonging,” explores how being a better human means the ability to brave the truth and then actively engage in debunking myths of sameness, dismantling “othering" systems, and working directly for the wellbeing of the dispossessed and disinherited.  Please join us for this timely, fascinating, and urgent conversation.
