In a world of poly-crises how do you make a contribution that matters?
How do you make that contribution in a way that you don’t burn out?
We look outside of ourselves for purpose with a big P.
But how do we align the big P purpose with our own personal sense of purpose.
How do we define OUR work to do?
In our conversation with Jerry Colonna he shared his bodhisattva vow; his purpose to make things easy for founders.
His work sounds simple but it’s grounded with depth and feeling.
His focus is unwavering and the ripple effects of his impact are tangible.
In his first book Jerry wrote about the need for leaders to be more human, to look into themselves and understand the stories that drive them.
He does this by sharing his own story and how it led him to become the CEO whisperer, the man who makes leaders cry.
His work and presence unlocks leaders to become the best versions of themselves.
But to what end…?
More money and power?
No.
With his second book, Reunion, Jerry explores how his process of radical self-enquiry can also be applied to how we deal with systemic inequalities in the world.
His focus on helping leaders find their sense of love, safety and belonging extends on how they can then create this sense for others.
He invites readers on a journey to uncover their own stories of not being truly seen and heard and how these stories can help them connect with others and bring about a more empathetic and equitable world.
Jerry has a big P Purpose that truly aligns with his inner purpose.
I’m looking forward to hearing more about how he connects those dots and also what that means for those of us trying to do business whilst also wanting to do good and be happy.
How can we look at the world and ourselves in a way that creates more ease and flow, so that we can sustainably make the impact that is ours to make?
