Reboot

Leadership and the Art of Growing Up

De: Jerry Colonna

Narrado por: Jerry Colonna

One of the start-up world’s most in-demand executive coaches - hailed as the “CEO Whisperer” (Gimlet Media) - reveals why radical self-inquiry is critical to professional success and healthy relationships in all realms of life.

Jerry Colonna helps start-up CEOs make peace with their demons, the psychological habits and behavioral patterns that have helped them to succeed - molding them into highly accomplished individuals - yet have been detrimental to their relationships and ultimate well-being. Now, this venture capitalist turned executive coach shares his unusual yet highly effective blend of Buddhism, Jungian therapy, and entrepreneurial straight talk to help leaders overcome their own psychological traumas. Reboot is a journey of radical self-inquiry, helping you to reset your life by sorting through the emotional baggage that is holding you back professionally and, even more important, in your relationships.

Jerry has taught CEOs and their top teams to realize their potential by using the raw material of their lives to find meaning, to build healthy interpersonal bonds, and to become more compassionate and bold leaders. In Reboot, he inspires everyone to hold themselves responsible for their choices and for the possibility of truly achieving their dreams.

Work does not have to destroy us. Work can be the way in which we achieve our fullest self, Jerry firmly believes. What we need, sometimes, is a chance to reset our goals and to reconnect with our deepest selves and with each other. Reboot moves and empowers us to begin this journey.

This book changed my life.

Real talk. It opened my soul up to the human I am meant to be, the work I am meant to do and the adult I’m ready to become. Thank you Jerry.

Amazing

So deep and real. Must read no matter where you are in life, business or leadership.

Profoundly human

a profoundly human and deep book which leaves you with many more questions than answers. this book also testifies to the simple fact that success is really not what we make it out to be. success is deeply personal and individual, but certainly not about money, Fame or power. Jerry's quest to become a better human and therefore better leader will leave you asking many questions of yourself and how you would like others to remember you when the time comes. Worth the read and if you have the time, read it twice.

A Must Listen...

If you’re a startup founder or ambitious person do yourself a favor and get this book now. Ambition can be a heavy load to carry and Jerry’s love, generosity and experience can help lighten your load. This book has helped me think more deeply about my life and uncover the obstacles I’ve placed in my way. There are tons of self-help books out there and I hesitate to call this one bc it’s not filled with false directions of how to live your life. Instead, it gives you questions and a helpful way to think about your life so you can discover YOUR OWN PATH. I’d also highly recommend his podcast Reboot.

Jerry Colona at his Finest

I've sometimes struggled with Jerry's podcasts, but he (we?) seemed to have grown up a lot in this book. Weaving his past and present with those of his clients to resolve and restore real-world breakdowns makes this book unforgettable. No theory, no BS. If you don't break and weep at some point, listen again.

Deeply centering & transformational!

I no longer feel disconnected by the questions, thoughts, and feelings that have been coming up when I am and when I feel alone.

Jerry’s life and the lives of the community Jerry shared in this book connected with me deeply.

The wisdom that Jerry has earned & aggregated with his journey and the wisdom of community are presented with clarity, grace, and rigor.

I grew up in traditional karate/ martial arts. The highest honor I can offer Jerry is that he has become a Shihan (sensei of sensei) and he has made “Reboot” a dojo for all us to live in.

Absolutely phenomenal audiobook and PDF tool.

Thank you Jerry and all that contributed to this centering & transformational gift.

The Path of our Lives

I loved how the author touched upon his life story to give us learnings. I loved the part where he mentioned “midwife the worrier to emerge” this is exactly what a coach dose rebirthing a new you and as a coach you your self are rebirth.
I related very much to the story it touched me so much I cried.
Simple yet powerful. I will surly recommend it to my clients.
Very grateful.

The future of real leadership

Alternative title - ‘making profitability sustainable and fun again’

We’re doomed to repeat our trauma in every area of our lives until it’s resolved and accepted. JC offers a great rendition of his journey to resolution, self knowledge and acceptance and how it could change the society we live in if business leaders have the strength to go places we all fear both emotionally and mentally.

For me the readers voice gave me the feeling he was about to cry at any moment so I put playback speed. on 1.5 X and my fear-of-crying trigger subsided considerably.
Well worth the read!

insightful

insightful insightful insightful gotta make 15 words is annoying. ugh so dumb. hope this is it

More like a biography than leadership self help

he spends a lot of time talking about his personal journey and examples of how he's helped people and not much time talking about doing the thing he does. I guess that makes sense. if he takes about the thing he does he might not be able to sell that anymore.

there are occasional question prompts, but they don't get much time or explanation.

if you really want to hear about how this guy cries a lot, and then figure out in your own how maybe some of the stuff he talks about could be interpreted, rearranged, and changed to apply it to your life, then this is a great book.

if you were hoping for a book that leads (guides, points in a general direction even if it's not specific) you down any kind of vague or generic path of self discovery, this is not the book for you. it's kind of like watching someone build a birdhouse but not explaining anything they are doing our what tools they are using, then hoping you can figure out how to build a birdhouse of your own. obviously this kind of work that he's doing isn't as step by step as a birdhouse, but it's almost like he's not even trying to help.
