Hi team, we’re going to shake things up and do things a little differently today on this very special 200th episode! In this episode, I will become the guest as our host - broadcasting consultant Dennis Katsanos, interviews me with the same questions you usually hear me ask my guests. 

For those who are just tuning in, hi, my name is Denis Gianoutsos! I am the CEO and Founder of Leading Change Partners. I went into the leadership space with one goal in mind: to transform business and leaders in this disruptive world. 

As a coach to many business leaders and executives, I’ve been able to contribute to their personal and organizational resilience in a fast paced and ever changing world; and today you’re going to learn a bit more about where I come from, what makes me tick as a leader myself, and how to elevate your own leadership.

Anything can happen today, and it probably will! So tune in as I walk a mile in my guests’ shoes and step into the hot seat.
