What is your relationship to anger? For many of us, anger is information. Often, it tells us when an important boundary has been crossed or alerts us when a value we hold dear is being threatened. The challenge of being an adult is finding healthy and generative ways to express our anger without hurting ourselves and others. In this episode, Mollie West Duffy returns to chat with Ali and Chrystal about the many facets of anger and how it has shown up in their own lives. The trio considers the positives and negatives of venting and gives practical advice for navigating anger in the workplace. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

In this episode of the Reboot Podcast, Jerry sits down with Koshin Paley Ellison, co-founder the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care, to talk about his latest book, "Untangled". In his work as a contemplative caregiver, Koshin seeks to better understand the causes of suffering and works to nurture sources of strength such as resilience and compassion. In their time together, Jerry and Koshin contemplate epigenetic trauma and the varying ways our personal suffering can be tangled by the experiences of our ancestors. They marvel at the power of love, and the healing that can come from bearing witness to our own suffering and the suffering of others. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

We often say trust is one person's assessment of another person's competence, sincerity, and reliability. Accountability is a related concept to trust, but it's also an inside job. Being accountable means being ready to show up for the work that's in front of us and be a contributor to the fulfillment of the goal of the whole. In this Wisdom for Work, Coaches Ali Schultz and Virginia Bauman illustrate why the key to accountability is healthy channels of communication and cultures of trust. They make important distinctions between leader-led and self-led accountability and share why one method is often more impactful than the other. They discuss how leaders can model accountability to the rest of their team, and share why the highest-performing groups are often the ones that develop a mutual self-accountability muscle.

Adaptive leadership is the notion that a fixed leadership style isn't a quick fix or one-stop-shop for all your leadership needs. Adaptive leadership asks you to be keen enough to be with who is in front of you, in any situation, and be able to connect relationally and with what matters. That requires a different skillset than a fixed leadership style. In this Operator's Manual, Ali and Jerry consider why adaptive leadership is so important for your organization's leaders, why it matters on an interpersonal level, and how it's tied to an organization's success.

For our first fresh episode of the 2023 season, Jerry sits down with Lisa Sharon Harper, founder of Freedom Road, and author of the superb book, Fortune: How Race Broke My Family and The World and How to Repair it All. In this compelling conversation, Lisa tells the story of her ancestor, Fortune, as a way to illuminate the effects of race, racism, and Othering. Jerry describes the work he's done to uncover and understand his own ancestors' history, and shares how returning to his family's past allowed him to find belonging and informed the thinking in his forthcoming book, Reunion. The duo proposes a radical notion, that in order to create a world — and workplaces — of love, safety, and belonging for others, we must first as leaders dismantle the myths of our identity and reckon with the origin stories of our ancestors.

Centering is a practice that brings us into present-moment awareness. Tuning into our breath and the sensations in our body opens up choice, clarity, and an enhanced ability to meet whatever we encounter. In this recording, Chrystal Bell shares a simple practice for feeling into the three planes of the human body - length, width, and depth. May reconnecting to your dignity, belonging, and sufficiency support you in feeling more grounded and centered. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

What fuels your relationship with work? When you're not working, what comes up for you? The compulsion to work can arise from various fears and drivers. Whether we are driven by perfectionism, tie our productivity to our worth, or use work to distract ourselves from other powerful demons such as shame, the spell of hustle culture can be hard to shake. In this podcast, we're sharing Ali's second conversation with Liz Fosslien and Mollie West Duffy, authors of Big Feelings: How to Be Okay When Things Are Not Okay. Together, they explore why detaching from work can be so incredibly hard and ponder why separating our identity from our work is so difficult. They get honest about the stories and fears that fuel their own desires to overwork and illuminate how joyful pursuits can mitigate the compulsion to overwork when life gets stressful.

Whether we decide to leave our job, make a career move, or unexpectedly find ourselves without a job, the space between secure positions elicits a lot of things--unprocessed fresh feelings, needs, anxieties, and wondering about next steps. Often, that "next steps" part can feel like an overwhelming mountain. In this episode, Ali hosts a thoughtful conversation with executive recruiter Keith McAllister at Modern Executive Solutions. In their time together, the pair discuss the importance of clearly articulating who you are, what you do, and what you've done, and share advice for leveraging your personal and professional networks. Keith details what to do (and not do) when you receive a call from a recruiter, and Ali asks, "How important is your LinkedIn profile?" Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

Science tells us that the best time to meditate is often when it's not easy. Bringing mindfulness and perhaps even a pocket meditation for recentering to the situations when you are getting off-kilter, ungrounded, and upregulated are the moments that create lasting change. In this short clip, Reboot Coach and Facilitator Chrystal Bell leads a short meditation practice designed to support you in finding your center and returning to stillness amidst turbulent times. May it be a grounding practice for when you encounter the stormy weather of life. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

Chronic illness and chronic pain are topics that can bring up a big mix of interconnected feelings -- uncertainty, burnout, anger, and even despair. They also challenge our perfectionism, make comparisons hard to stop, and can bring up thoughts of shame or even regrets. In this podcast, Ali kicks off the first in a series of conversations with Liz Fosslien and Mollie West Duffy authors of the book Big Feelings: How to Be Okay When Things Are Not Okay. The trio shares openly about what chronically ails them, and how they manage it in their personal and professional worlds. They describe the loneliness that comes with battling mysterious illnesses and undiagnosed pain. They introduce us to "spoon theory," and share some advice for how to hold space and offer support to the folks in your work life with chronic illness or chronic pain Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

In this podcast conversation, Jerry talks with Ian Sanders, author of "365 Ways to Have a Good Day", who found himself at the edge of rediscovery at the beginning of COVID lockdown. Fumbling and longing for ground, he dove into his past by paging through his old journals. Unearthing the stories of his life at that moment reminded him of who he was and what made him tick. His collection of entries from his daily sojourns solidified an understanding of who he was and who he might want to be. In a record of noticing and documenting, we note what brings us joy, what our hurts or anger have to tell us, what we're scared of, and the glimmers of moments when we feel whole. Jerry adds that in doing so we often develop a guidebook to our own lives. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

Sally Helgesen is a women's leadership expert who has written many books over the past few decades on women and leadership (How Women Rise, The Female Advantage, The Web of Inclusion). In this episode, Sally and Ali Schultz explore the tendencies and habits that often contribute to women feeling stuck in their leadership roles. Sally describes how women leaders have a different perception, or way of being and seeing, that can make for a markedly unique leadership style and offers models of what leadership can become when guided by feminine principles.

As frequent listeners of the podcast can attest, a well-formed open, honest question can be a catalyst for radical self-inquiry and deep inner work. For Gino Zahnd, the founder of Cozy and Seabright, that question was, "What would I like the people that I work with to know about me that they don't know?." Gino, who lives with a rare genetic order called Fabry Disease, shares how one profound question asked at Reboot Bootcamp gave him the courage to share his health struggles with his team and ultimately led to a life-changing kidney donation from a colleague. Jerry chats with Gino about how things have changed since his Bootcamp experience in 2016, his decision to step down as CEO of Cozy, and his new life in Colorado. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

What can we learn from regret? Regret gives us chance to see things from both sides. The experience we lived through, and the retrospective. Pausing to reflect on what was or has been allows us to see what we've learned from the vantage point of where we are now. As Dan Pink asserts in this podcast conversation and in his latest book, "The Power of Regret", regret is a clarifying emotion that is also instructive about how to lead a better life. In this conversation with Jerry, the pair explore two themes — taking time to pause and the big opportunity in reviewing regrets. In many ways, they go hand in hand. When we slow down to a halt, we give ourselves a chance to reel through what went well, what didn't, and what we've gained. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

When considering collective planning as a team, what are the best practices leaders should adopt and what common pitfalls should they avoid? In this Wisdom for Work, Andy Crissinger and Jerry Colonna share why the actual planning process framework you choose is less important than the interpersonal dynamics among the team. The duo describes how a lack of trust can often undermine even the most thoughtfully designed sessions, and illustrate how collective planning, when executed well, can be a tool to strengthen the entire team.

When faced with uncertain times and unavoidable challenges, how we show up matters. For some of us, a healthy reaction might be to withdraw and tend to the tender parts of ourselves that need support and care. For others, these crucible moments present an opportunity to lean into the work of our lives and give us the chance to truly discover the work we were born to do. In this episode, Jerry sits down with Andrew Alexseyenko, a Ukrainian entrepreneur and co-founder of KOLO, a nonprofit organization that provides operational assistance to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In this conversation, Andrew describes the early stages of the war and shares what compelled him and his co-founders to put their existing startup on pause and shift their focus toward building KOLO. Jerry marvels at the power of shared leadership and points out that the hallmark of a great leader is the number of leaders they help create. He reminds us of the ways collective leadership can effectively combat hopelessness and can provide a sense of agency in the face of adversity. Jerry illustrates how the skills we develop during times of turbulence are carried with us throughout the remainder of our adult lives. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

Laurie Segall is an award-winning journalist, author, and the founder of Dot Dot Dot and D3 Network. In this episode, Laurie sits down with Jerry to chat about her tenure as CNN's Senior Tech correspondent and gives insight into her experience navigating the world of big media. The pair discuss what it means to "show up" for your life and why slowing down can often be so scary. Laurie reveals how participating in a Reboot Bootcamp forced her to slow down, reflect, and confront some big questions in her life and directly supported her decision to transition away from her job at CNN. She describes what drove her to write her new book: "Special Characters: My Adventures with Tech's Titans and Misfits", and highlights the challenges of building a company as a global pandemic is taking hold.

What are the benefits of adopting a coaching mindset in your leadership and life? In this podcast Wisdom for Work, Reboot Coaches Andy Crissinger and Chris VandenBrink break down the three fundamental components of coaching - listening, inquiry, and mirroring. The duo describes how incorporating a coach's mentality in your leadership toolkit can foster growth, learning, and creativity within your organization, and provide examples of when and where the leader as coach skillset should be utilized and in which instances it should be avoided.

In this podcast, Jerry sits down with Chris Remus, Founder of Chainflow, to explore an enormously complex and personal question, "What does it mean to be done?" What unfolds is a thought-provoking conversation around our relationship to work, and why we so often sacrifice our personal happiness in the pursuit of 'doneness.' Chris reflects on the ways in which the misalignment between his inner and outer self left him feeling unsafe and sapped his ability to fully tap into his potential. Jerry supports Chris in understanding that the real work of our lives is never truly 'done,' especially when we allow the junctures we arrive at and pass through to be greater tools for connecting to purpose and our heart's greatest desires.

Have you ever encountered a person in your life who you couldn't reason with the same way you could with so many others in your life? Are there some folks that make you act differently, or feel like you walk on eggshells around them? In this podcast, Ali sits down with Megan Hunter, a co-founder of The High Conflict Institute and expert on High Conflict Personalities (also known as HCPs). The pair discuss the five types of HCPs and explore how the HCP brain works differently (and what that means for interactions with them).

At Reboot, we firmly believe that the act of leadership affords everyone the opportunity to grow into their most adult selves. Inquiring radically into our own psychologies and facing up to the truths behind our behavior allows us to lead and relate to others from a more informed place. In this podcast, Jerry sits down with Brad Feld and David Jilk, co-authors of "Entrepreneur's Weekly Nietzsche: A Book for Disruptors". The duo, who've shared a personal and professional relationship for nearly forty years, share why collaborating effectively requires honesty, respect, and the ability to lean into healthy conflict when it arises. Jerry, Dave, and Brad emphasize the importance of setting, communicating, and honoring boundaries, and highlight why safety and trust are at the crux of all healthy, adult relationships.

As the Coronavirus pandemic continues to shape our lives, many of us are flat-out exhausted. While this enduring moment in time has impacted us all, the prolonged nature of this global public health crisis has left healthcare workers feeling physically and mentally exhausted. Burnout, it's a topic that we often address on the Reboot Podcast, and a term we've all been hearing more and more over the course of the past few years. For cardiac surgeon Dr. Simon Maltais, long hours in a demanding work environment were to be expected, but slowly, over time, when he looked in the mirror, the outer Simon was becoming unrecognizable to the inner Simon. In this conversation, he shares how his quest for perfection, and his desire to "sparkle and be loved" led him down a destructive path fueled by alcohol, anger, and self-criticism. Jerry and Simon discuss the high rates of depression and burnout among healthcare professionals and the resilience they need to deal with the suffering that surrounds them. In sharing honestly about his experience, Simon hopes that his fellow colleagues in healthcare and others in high intensity environments will feel less alone. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

When we're so committed to being right about our own reality, we miss things happening right under our nose. Egos are handy, but they can be limiting to the amount of joy we experience in life if we let them lead the way. In this episode Duff McDonald, journalist and author of "Tickled: A Commonsense Guide to the Present Moment", recounts how the quiet of quarantine shocked him out of his narrow perspective of living, and turned his way of being on its head. Duff describes how the gift of fallow time forced him to thinking radically about how he'd been operating in the world up until that point, and shares how untying the knot of his heart produced a fire hydrant of love, opening him up to the magic of life itself.

How often do you connect with those who came before you? What do you know about them? What was life like for them? What did they live through? What were their unfulfilled dreams? What stories are still alive in your family to this day? When doing the work of learning about our past, we can forget that we are here because of many generations of love expressing itself. In this podcast Extra, Jamie Kim offers a visualization to connect with those who came before you and to feel the magnitude of that love and support. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

In this episode of our Operator's Manual series, Ali and Jerry consider how the health and resilience of an organization can be directly tied to the CEO's own modeled behavior around self-care.

Philip, who identifies as Asian American, opens up about the loneliness he's faced as a leader and CEO. He reflects on how the events of his childhood, specifically his parents divorce, left him with complicated feelings about his self-worth and ability to belong. Jerry supports Philip in coming to understand the ways in which he unconsciously gets in his own way and explains how the subroutines he developed during childhood (the ghosts in his machine), can simultaneously hold him back and be his greatest superpower.

Jerry and Ashanti discuss the importance for men to find trusted circles in which they share their true feelings, and why removing the masks we wear allows us to become better partners, leaders, and community members.

In order to become the leaders we were born to be, we must first be willing to radically inquire within. By cultivating a deep growth mindset, we're able to mature and develop not only as leaders but as humans. Getting curious about our blind spots in leadership and seeing clearly our strengths and weaknesses as well as understanding how we are perceived is the basis for any leadership development plan. We cannot grow if we don't understand the work we have to do. In this episode, Andy Crissinger sits down with Courtney Joyce, coach and 360° Program Director, to talk about Reboot's approach to 360 reviews and why they are so incredibly powerful for leaders who are looking to take their development to the next level. The pair connect with Nick Francis, CEO of Help Scout, to chat about his 360s experiences, and the impact they've had on his personal and professional growth. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

On this episode of the Reboot Podcast, Jerry hosts a conversation with David Hieatt, co-founder of Hiut Denim Company.

David describes the difficult process of temporarily closing the factory due to COVID-19 and how these past few months have given him the space to reaffirm the company's values and solidified the importance of taking care of not only the people of his organization but the community as a whole.

In moments of conflict, it can be difficult to stay present amongst our discomfort. However, when we lean into love and compassion we might begin to see conflict in a generative light. In this episode of the Reboot Podcast, Jerry is joined by Regina Smith, MA and Amanda Aguilera, PsyD, experts in the field of power dynamics, conflict, and equity. In this conversation, Regina and Amanda examine and characterize the intersectionality of power dynamics and expound on the various ways power is conferred in our culture (and our workplaces). They highlight how conflict avoidance is often most detrimental to those in the down power role and why expanding our capacity to be in conflict is necessary for progress. The conversation explores how cultivating a positive outlook towards conflict supports our ability to engage empathetically and skillfully when moments of friction arise. By introducing the notion of generative conflict (and the idea of radical collaboration), they underscore why love, community, and connection are paramount for social transformation.

When it comes to confidence, feeling A-Ok with showing vulnerability, and trying to avoid the sneaky snares of Imposter Syndrome, we often feel at odds, torn between the parts of us that say, "Who do you think you are?" and the parts of us who know who we are. Self-doubt and inadequacy can creep in and color the most assured parts of us at times. But, what's really at play here? We know it's an inside job to keep ourselves clear-headed and attuned with our inner knowing, regardless of what the world throws our way in terms of perceptions, biases, and double standards. How do we, as women, stay in our own bodies, hold fast to our own truths, and not view ourselves through the eyes and expectations of others in the world-at-large? Who do you choose to be? What life do you want to lead? In this third episode of our Women Conversation series, Reboot Co-founder Ali Schultz joins fellow coaches Ann Mehl, Heather Jassy, and Miriam Meima for an exploration of how imposter syndrome grips women, the masks they feel they need to wear, and all that gets in the way of women feeling their inherent enoughness.

What are the factors that contribute to the failure of almost 90% of startup ventures? In this episode, Jerry sits down with author and Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann to discuss the patterns that often precipitate the vast majority of startup failures. The pair take a closer look at how the advice to "fail fast" often leads founders to false start — risking capital and time on the wrong solutions. They shine a light on the pressure founders feel to grow the business rapidly, the lionization of venture capital, and the true human cost of failure. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

In our coaching practice, one of the most common questions we receive from investors is, "How do I build more trusting and impactful relationships with leaders in my portfolio?" As coaches, we believe the core challenge that limits the ability for founders and investors to connect in a more collaborative way is rooted in the dynamics of power. In this short clip, Dan Putt, Reboot Co-founder and Director of Client Engagement and Reboot's Director of Coaching, Andy Crissinger define the three dimensions of power and share their advice for navigating power differences to build better founder-investor relationships.

This being human is a profoundly awesome adventure; our lives are peppered with moments of happiness, joy, and wonder, but our experiences can be messy, exhausting, and heavy too. As leaders, how do we manage the cacophony of emotions that we inevitably carry with us to the workplace? What holds us back from opening up, sharing, and being true with our colleagues, especially when we're struggling? Ryan Caldbeck is the Founder and Executive Chairman of CircleUp. In this episode, Ryan opens up about the inherent loneliness that comes with being a CEO and reveals how a particularly challenging period in his life exacerbated those feelings of isolation. He describes how an interaction with his young daughter drove his decision to step back from his role as CEO, the relief that sharing his experience with his colleagues brought, and the grief that comes hand in hand with closing this chapter of his life. Jerry encourages Ryan to see that in his sadness lives an opportunity to turn towards curiosity and inquire deeply about what's being born and who he wants to become in this next stage of life.

As frequent listeners of the podcast can attest, a well-formed open, honest question can be a catalyst for radical self-inquiry and deep inner work. For Gino Zahnd, the founder of Cozy and Seabright, that question was, "What would I like the people that I work with to know about me that they don't know?." Gino, who lives with a rare genetic order called Fabry Disease, shares how one profound question asked at Reboot Bootcamp gave him the courage to share his health struggles with his team and ultimately led to a life-changing kidney donation from a colleague. Jerry chats with Gino about how things have changed since his Bootcamp experience in 2016, his decision to step down as CEO of Cozy, and his new life in Colorado. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!
