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.

Dr. Kathy Hagler is a preeminent thought leader in organizational transformation, driven to understand and improve the communication and connectivity between individuals and organizations. She studied with, and collaborated alongside Dr. W. Edwards Deming and Dr. Peter Drucker and is the Founding Partner of K2OHSOLUTIONS, an organizational consulting firm. Kathy is also the author of a new book entitled, “Art of Scars: Healing Organizational Culture, Climate, Character”.
We talk about what organizations can do to survive and prosper in the future, the ways that fear manifests within organizations, how current leaders can implement strategies to develop new leaders, and what can be done to repair a wounded organization.
Building an organization of character requires its leaders and members to stop acting from the level of the pre-programmed subconscious. They must band together and consciously ask themselves the questions that truly matter: How are we doing? Who are we serving? Why do we exist? What are our core values? Where are we headed? How will we get there?

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where someone came to you with a deep question or concern and you did not have the right words to support them?
In this episode, we feature Thomas Moore, author of “Soul Therapy: The Art and Craft of Caring Conversations”, to help us become more therapeutically sophisticated and better at counseling one another outside of formal therapy.
As a person who has taught therapeutic methods for decades, Thomas is truly your therapist’s therapist. He speaks, however, with both the professional therapist and the lay person in mind, offering specific approaches we all can use to help one another overcome long-standing wounds and uncover the authentic needs of our souls.
We talk about the universal nature of our complexes, how to become more psychologically attuned at work, and how parents can offer therapy to their children.
By approaching emotional conversations with humility and compassion rather than judgment and presumption, we can all become better friends, family members, and co-workers.
The ideas in this episode can help you genuinely differentiate yourself as you learn how to be kinder, more compassionate, and more empathetic in modern society.
