The Reboot Podcast

The fundamental unit of doing that great work is conversation. Conversations happen easier, clearer, and more harmoniously if we can connect as human beings, look each other in the eye, trust, and feel safe naming what’s up for us. In this clip, coaches Andy Crissinger and Chris VandenBrink share Reboot’s Red-Yellow-Green model for check-ins and how it’s implementation can shift the tone of how you relate to folks and hold meetings such as 1-1’s and offsites.

In this conversation, which centers around Rha’s new book The Calling: 3 Fundamental Shifts to Stay True, Get Paid, and Do Good, Rha describes the ethos of soul work and shares why calling forth the qualities and attributes that live in the truest and purest expression of ourselves are crucial for those who lead. Jerry and Rha explore what it means to lead from a place of integrity and wholeness. Rha notes that personal commitment to doing the work that supports mental, spiritual, emotional, physical well-being is the ultimate prerequisite for leadership and Jerry stresses the importance for those who hold power to do their own work in order to reduce violence to our communities, the planet, and themselves.

Feelings of isolation and loneliness have been well documented amongst today’s leaders. That’s why the simple question “Are you ok?”, asked with genuine concern, can elicit such a profound impact for those who are struggling through a tough time, such as shutting down a business like Avni Patel Thompson. At the time of this recording, Avni was in the wake of shuttering her previous company, Poppy. In this exchange, Jerry and Avni discuss the trauma and pain that go hand in hand with closing a business, reflecting that failure is a foundational part of the vast majority of startup journeys. Avni describes how Jerry’s open and honest question of, “Are you ok?”, revealed a well of unprocessed emotions and kick-started the inquiry process about her next steps as an entrepreneur. Avni determines that while Poppy as an entity no longer exists, her overall mission and purpose that drove its existence lives on in her new company, Modern Village. As she sublimely reflects, the collapse of her previous business has driven her into greater alignment to her life’s Work, leading her to exactly where she needs to be.

As leaders, necessity requires that we spend ample time designing for the future and building safety nets for the unknown, but what happens when life throws the unexpected our way and our best laid plans are torn asunder? In times of turbulence, it’s not uncommon to feel suspended in space. To combat the unease of unknowing we search desperately for a map that might provide guidance in our path forward. In looking to the external, we often lose sight of the compass rose that lives deep within our being and the truth at our core. In this episode of the Reboot Podcast, you’ll meet Thiyagarajan (Rajan) Maruthavanan, Partner at Upekkha, an Indian SaaS Accelerator. With all the uncertainty that has emerged in the face of the novel Coronavirus, Rajan comes to Jerry holding questions around the future of the business and how best to support the founders which are struggling. What follows is a thoughtful conversation about the power of radical self-inquiry, the undeniable truths that emerge when we align with our hearts center and how those values ultimately provide clarity around purpose in unpredictable times.

One of the greatest missteps a leader can take is to live an unexamined life. When our subroutines run unchecked beneath the surface, our work, our organizations and our relationships are unwittingly hijacked by the traits we consign to the shadows. As leaders, the greatest gift we can give to ourselves and others is to choose to make the unconscious conscious. In this episode, Jerry is joined by Daniel Feltsman, Founder of Lina, an online platform for helping parents share wisdom and life experiences with their children. Feeling “in the middle of a tornado,” Danny reached out to the Reboot Podcast looking for guidance through a particularly challenging time. What unfolds is a forthright conversation about the experiences of our youth and ways in which the conditions of our formative years are often unknowingly etched upon our lives. As Jerry tenderly acknowledges, the conditions we survive as children often become the conditions necessary for our thriving as adults. Through the process of inquiry and with Jerry’s support, Danny begins the first step in making the unconscious conscious by asking, “What subroutines am I running?” Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

Ingrid describes how humans are hardwired to find joy and underscores the extraordinary ways in which it serves to combat stress and fortify resiliency in times of adversity.
