Sep 8, 2026 Finding the Ways That Work Supervision is a protected conversation in which a coach brings the experience of working with a client to another trained practitioner. The client’s predicament is part of the inquiry. But, importantly, so are the coach’s reactions. The supervisor helps the coach ask: What’s happening here? What part of this is mine? written by Jerry Colonna Read More
Aug 18, 2026 What Are We Talking About When We Talk About Money? What are we talking about when we talk about money? We are talking about safety and freedom. We are talking about worth and belonging. written by Jerry Colonna Read More
Jul 16, 2026 The Conditions for Redemption Every performance system, every culture, and every leader eventually answers the same enduring question: Will people leave this place having merely done good work—or having become more fully themselves because of the work they did here? written by Jerry Colonna Read More
Jul 15, 2026 A Candle at the Threshold of Belonging What do we leave behind when we narrow the circle, when we teach our children that the stranger is the enemy, when we allow the frightened parts of ourselves to set the terms of public life? And what might we leave behind if, instead, we build homes, companies, communities, and nations large enough to hold the future? written by Jerry Colonna Read More
Jun 15, 2026 When Belonging Turns on Itself Fear is human. The question is not whether we will be afraid. The question is what we will allow fear to teach us. What do we teach our children and grandchildren about managing their fear? written by Jerry Colonna Read More
Jun 10, 2026 “I am enough; just as I am, I am enough.” In a world increasingly organized around exclusion, certainty, and public cruelty, we need people willing to build larger tables. Invite people in. Risk being misunderstood. Stop waiting for universal approval before becoming fully yourself. written by Jerry Colonna Read More
May 12, 2026 The End of Suffering Is Not the End of Pain What is my suffering doing, if I do not attend to it? How is it shaping the way I show up with others? Where is it narrowing my capacity to see clearly, to listen, to remain open? written by Jerry Colonna Read More
Apr 27, 2026 When Good Leaders Do Bad Things Leadership, then, is not the performance of goodness. It is the discipline of radical self-inquiry—my term for a form of rigorous self-confrontation that is not punitive, not performative, and not guilt-seeking and, equally, not optional. written by Jerry Colonna Read More
Mar 4, 2026 The End of Suffering The end of suffering, then, is not a future achievement. It is a shift in relationship. Pain remains part of life. Loss remains part of love. But the belief that we are uniquely broken, uniquely punished, uniquely alone begins to dissolve. written by Jerry Colonna Read More
