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.     Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

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!

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.   Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!
