The Adventure To Evolve

This episode is a chance to get to know keynote speaker Jon Colby, recognized by MSN as one of the top 10 speakers to follow. In a Q&A format, Jon shares his journey from teaching to the stage and how improv became the framework for his work and life. You’ll hear his perspective on presence, patience, grief, and why “Yes, And” can change the way we collaborate at work and connect at home.


Audience Takeaways
Improv is a framework for life, not just comedy.

• The rule of “Yes, And” shows how to build on ideas instead of shutting them down, whether in meetings, parenting, or relationships.
  
  

Value drives everything.

• When people feel valued, they stay, thrive, and contribute more. When they don’t, they pull away from jobs, teams, even families.
  
  

Presence is a practice.

• Parenting, grief, and improv all point to the same skill: listening in the moment rather than rushing ahead or trying to fix.
  
  

Letting go of control creates growth.

• Jon spent 12 years preparing, teaching, and gaining experience before fully stepping into his speaking career. His story shows how even long seasons of preparation matter, but real momentum begins when you finally trust the leap. 
  
  

Grief clarifies priorities.

• Loss can sharpen our sense of what matters most: saying no to what drains us and yes to moments that become memories.

 In this riveting episode, we're joined by Chris, a certified leadership coach, two-time entrepreneur, and the author of "Overcoming the Imposter." We dive deep into the labyrinth of self-doubt known as imposter syndrome—a struggle all too familiar yet seldom discussed. But what if we told you that this psychological hurdle might actually be the secret sauce to your authenticity?
Chris brings his years of expertise to shed light on how imposter syndrome is not just a cliche term but an intricate psychological barrier that hits 70-80% of us at some point in our lives. Especially high-achievers. From understanding the deceptive tricks your mind plays to keep you in 'productive procrastination,' to the more nuanced ways it manifests, we go beyond the surface to explore how it feels to be human in this arena.
In a candid exchange, Chris and I share personal anecdotes, offering parallels between the structured corporate world and the free-wheeling life of entrepreneurship, examining how these contrasting ecosystems impact our relationship with imposter syndrome. This is not just an episode but an invitation to dig deeper into the layers of your self-doubt, daring you to look your inner critic in the eye and say, "Not today."
If you've ever second-guessed your abilities or chalked up your accomplishments to mere 'luck,' this episode is a must-listen. By the end of it, you'll have a fresh perspective on how to tackle the internal barriers that have been holding you back.
Tune in and be ready to flip the script on imposter syndrome.
