    Inner Work, Empathy, and Leadership with Jerry Colonna

    Many find themselves at the pinnacle of professional success only to discover that the view is less satisfying than as they'd imagined. In this episode with Jerry Colonna, we discuss how more of us can contribute to a world that cherishes connection and unity above all. We explore how true satisfaction and leadership arises from self-awareness and we stress the significance of doing our inner work. We talk about how the recognition of our ancestral heritage serves as a bridge for fostering a sense of belonging and understanding. An intriguing part focuses on the unspoken, the forgotten, and the truths about societal and familial histories that often go unaddressed. The conversation is an exercise in introspection,  a deeply necessary step toward cultivating empathy and fostering leadership that seeks to alleviate suffering. Jerry Colonna is a leading executive coach who uses the skills he learned as a venture capitalist to help entrepreneurs. He is a co-founder and CEO of Reboot, the executive coaching and leadership development company, host of the Reboot Podcast, and author of Reunion: Leadership and the Longing to Belong  and Reboot: Leadership and the Art of Growing Up. He was a partner with JPMorgan Partners (JPMP), the private equity arm of JP Morgan Chase. He joined JPMP from Flatiron Partners, which he launched in 1996 with partner, Fred Wilson. Flatiron became one of the most successful, early-stage investment programs in the New York City area. ======================= 00:00 Two years since our last episode together (Ep. 84 - Reboot) 01:10 The pain that comes from succeeding 2:07 Success and it’s relationship to some of the challenges people experience 05:00 Face the tiger that is chasing you 08:27 “How have I been complicit in creating the conditions I say I don’t want”? 10:30 One reason to do the inner work on yourself 13:58 The danger of feeling like you have a gaping hole inside 15:12 Proactively creating conditions for systemic love, safety, and belonging 17:43 Deep and powerful leadership goes beyond the realm of creating sound Companies that create meaningful products the world needs 23:13 Taking a stance against Othering and Dehumanization 28:40 Show empathy with people by first understanding the true stories of your Ancestors 34:56 Who gets dismembered from a family tree? 41:56 Who benefits from war, destruction, and dehumanization? 43:54 Why do certain conditions persist? 46:00 We’re all really good at sweeping things under the rug 52:22 Four questions Jerry asks himself and the CEO's or Founders he coaches ======================= Please subscribe and tell one person about this episode.
