Listening to yourself. Advice from author and coach, Jerry Colonna

I recently finished Jerry's book, Reboot:  Leadership and the Art of Growing Up  (link will take you to my personal Goodreads page, feel free to connect with me on Goodreads and share books that are inspiring for you!)

If you are considering making new year's resolutions, consider a journey into deep self-discovery.  Jerry's book (very business-language and full of his own self-promotion) but really solid advice including questions you can ask yourself at the end of each chapter.  He calls this radical self-inquiry in this short article.

Here are reflection questions to build greater self-awareness in 2020:

Discover What Drives You - If you’re ready to begin practicing radical self-inquiry, then asking yourself this question is the perfect place to start:

• Why are you doing what you’re doing?

And  a few examples of some more specifics that are also great questions to share with a business or life partner:

• How did my relationship to money get formed?
• In what ways have I depleted myself, run myself into the ground? Why have I allowed myself to be so exhausted?
• Who is the person I've been all my life? What can that person teach me about becoming the leader I want to be?
• What was the story my family told about being real, being vulnerable, being true?
