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.
