#187 - The Childhood Patterns Driving How You Lead - with Pam Manfredo Curtis & Jerry Colonna

Who we are as leaders is shaped by the stories we carry and the environments we've experienced. In this deeply heartfelt and introspective episode, Jerry is joined by Pam Manfredo Curtis, CEO coach and author of The Origin of a Leader. With a career spanning 35 years and a PhD in industrial-organizational psychology, Pam Manfredo Curtis brings wisdom earned from coaching executive teams across industries and a personal journey rooted in family conversations, empathy, and resilience. Together, they unpack how our childhood environments and formative experiences shape the belief systems and blocks we carry into adulthood and leadership. They explore the crucial role of psychological safety, the importance of self-inquiry, and why authentic connection and "referent power" matter. Drawing from both personal stories and client examples, they reflect on why radical self-inquiry and the ability to express our truths matter so deeply—especially for those with organizational power.
