Reboot

We all have demons, psychological habits and behavioral patterns that have helped shape us—perhaps even making us highly accomplished individuals—but are also detrimental to our relationships and overall well-being. In his new book, The CEO Whisperer: How to Lead When You’re Not in Charge (Portfolio Hardcover 2018), venture capitalist turned executive coach Jerry Colonna shares his unusual yet highly effective blend of Buddhism, Jungian therapy, and straight talk to help you overcome your own demons. In the following excerpt from Chapter 3 of the book, Colonna provides a good example of how we can make material more accessible by rewriting it in our conversational style.
