Leadership and the Art of Growing Up | Jerry Colonna

Jerry Colonna is the CEO, and co-founder, of Reboot.io, an executive coaching and leadership development firm whose coaches and facilitators are committed to the notion that better humans make better leaders. For nearly 20 years, he has used the knowledge gained as an investor, an executive, and a board member for more than 100 organizations to help entrepreneurs and others to lead with humanity, resilience, and equanimity. He believes not only that work does not have to destroy us, but that work can be the way to achieve our fullest selves. Jerry is the author of Reboot: Leadership and the Art of Growing Up. Previous to his career as a coach 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 1996 with partner, Fred Wilson. Flatiron became one of the most successful, early-stage investment programs in the New York City area.

In this episode Jerry and I discuss:

• The process of moving from reaction to choice in our lives
• How slowing down and engaging in deep questions about what matters can be a radical act
• How he defines "radical self-inquiry" and why this is so foundational to his work with leaders
• How to let go of old patterns of behavior and ways of being that are no longer serving us
• Stories from his 1x1 work with some of his coaching clients
• Why resilience and equanimity are the larger aims of the work he does
• Overcoming fear through courage and curiosity
• The importance of a compassionate approach when we reboot our lives, and the way we lead
