Are you constantly struggling to find your zone? Sometimes it’s like we’re in a dark room and we can’t seem to find the switch to turn the light of focus on. You’re not alone. In today’s fast moving world, attention, energy and focus are constantly being pulled away from us and adding more work and just trying to force ourselves is not going to cut it. So how do we equip ourselves to get back into our zone of focus? Tune into this episode and I will give you the 3 hacks I believe will help you flip the switch to focus.

	18 Nov 2021	226: Ask Denis: The Bacon and Eggs Equation	00:10:55
Are you committed as a leader? You may be surprised but many are not. Some are hiding behind a title, a mask, or a suit. The thing is, it’s ok to not want to be a leader! For those who are willing to lead, it’s not enough to just be involved, you have to commit. This is tied to the concept I call, the Bacon and Eggs Equation, whereby one animal (the pig) is committed, and the other is just involved (the chicken). Sound a bit strange? Tune in to the episode and learn more about the Bacon and Eggs Equation and how it can help strengthen your mindset as a committed leader! On this episode: I shed some light on the issues behind leaders who fall into their position without commitment and how to be the kind of leader who knows how to show up I talk about the bacon and eggs equation: what it means and how it applies to us. Be the kind of leader who gives their whole self to making a final product in order to become match-fit Key Takeaways: Some leaders fall into the position by accident It’s ok if you don’t want to be a leader Leaders need to “show up” - make decisions and add value The Bacon and Eggs Equation - the pig vs. the chicken Committed leaders bring an energy that is real and authentic We need to become ‘Match-Fit’ Tweetable Quotes: “Leadership is a commitment, not an involvement.” - Denis Gianoutsos “How you show up each and every day is really important… Are you coming in there with a committed attitude or one of being involved?” - Denis Gianoutsos Reach out to Denis: Email: denis@leadingchangepartners.com Website: http://www.leadingchangepartners.com/ Leadership Is Changing Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/LeadershipIsChanging/ Leadership is Changing LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/leadership-is-changing-podcast/

	26 Jun 2022	317: Julian Hayes II - Holistic Leadership	00:35:46
As leaders, we must work on ourselves to be more effective and efficient. In today’s episode, Julian Hayes II shares his thoughts on slowing down to account for the fast-paced environment and setting performance standards for their goals. He advises us to pay attention to our health and set boundaries so we can live a life of thriving. Julian Hayes II is an author, an executive health and corporate wellness consultant, and the founder of The Art of Fitness & Life. His mission is to help entrepreneurs, executives, and high-achieving individuals live healthier, richer, and longer lives so they can run around with their great-great-grandchildren—not just see them. This mission is accomplished through precision performance longevity. The word “selfish” has a bad connotation, but listen in as Denis and Julian discuss how this can be a virtue and even be the critical factor to being at an optimal state and exuding abundance. In this episode: Julian shares how his life experiences prompted him to step up and become a leader. He discusses how it is vital to be proactive instead of reactive regarding health and fitness. Take a closer look into your habits and understand the difference between existing and thriving. Leaders today need to have a high IQ and EQ to succeed in today's fast-paced world. Leaders should slow down to speed up and take the time to analyze their decisions before making them. Julian discusses how being selfish and setting boundaries are essential and that doing so allows us to be much more effective and efficient leaders. He describes the two critical points to acquire as part of our habits - regeneration and priming. Key Takeaways: Small things compound, so pay attention and think ahead Do not underestimate the importance of sleep Leaders should be malleable on the way to reaching goals Sometimes, we need to slow down to speed up Schedule your health habits like it’s an important meeting Exude abundance by pouring into yourself first Tweetable Quotes: “Sometimes, you have these little issues that come up, right? And I look at it like a crack in the dam. It's so insignificant, so small, that we just kind of overlook it. And we just go about our way. And then all of a sudden, this small crack leads to massive flooding in the corporate setting and leads to massive corporate issues.” - Julian Hayes II “Leadership now is being a much more holistic and well-rounded individual who has a high EQ and IQ as well, to both balance those things.” - Julian Hayes II “This world is so fast now. And it's easy to get caught in that. And you just start going at warp speed. And you get in the cycle of just doing things. But you don't take the time to even analyze. Is this the right thing to do? Do we need to slightly pivot to maybe make this a more efficient thing?” - Julian Hayes II Connect with Julian on Twitter and LinkedIn. Check out The Art of Fitness and Life.

	05 Oct 2023	511: Last Quarter - Time to Take Action- Ask Denis	00:13:39
Do you feel like the year raced by without you accomplishing much? What if I told you there's still time to turn things around and end on a high note? Let's explore how! In this episode of Ask Denis, we talk about how to reflect, reset, and implement strategies to have a game-changing year. As we approach the tail end of the year, we're greeted with the unmistakable feeling of time slipping away. It's crazy how quickly days roll by, transforming our hopeful New Year resolutions into distant goals. I urge you to leverage this time for reflection, reset, and, most importantly, acceleration. This is the moment to step on the gas, not to take your foot off the pedal! How do you plan on finishing the year strong? Are you in search of a coach who genuinely wants to help you? Let's have a heart-to-heart. I'm inviting you to a 30-minute strategy session with me, completely free. Send me a message on Instagram or LinkedIn. In this episode: We cover 3 questions you need to reflect on to finish this year strong What went well? What could you have done differently? What will you do differently going forward? How to reflect, reset, and take action for a strong year-end! Main takeaways: Just because the year is almost over doesn't mean it's too late to set or adjust goals. The end of the year can be a powerful motivator to push harder and achieve more in a short time. Exponential growth happens over time! Sometimes, significant results only manifest after consistent effort. Just like a pit stop in a race, you need to stop, assess your current position, and make necessary adjustments in order to continue. Once reflection and resetting are done, it's time for decisive action. The journey matters as much as the destination. Surround yourself with the right people for guidance, support, and accountability needed to achieve your goals. Quotes: “It doesn't matter where you are. It's really up to you and what you want to achieve. And if you're wanting to move forward between now and the end of the year, now is the time for you to do that.” - Denis Gianoutsos “The whole purpose for setting goals is not only to achieve them, but it's also the journey.

All of the changes occurring in the world require new levels or different approaches to leadership. Be aware of what’s happening worldwide and be willing to engage and interact with your followers to understand their needs. Leaders do not stop at hoping or trying. It is about taking action. Being happy but not satisfied is alright as long as the results align with who you are and your vision. Adam Strong shares how natural leaders stay aligned with their purpose and are not driven by money. Human beings are social animals. They seek an authentic and vulnerable leader. Key Takeaways: It takes noteworthy courage to show up despite the heavy burden one faces The world is changing, and that requires a change in leadership Be alert and aware of the trends at all times Only hoping won’t get you closer to your goals - act upon it Natural leaders are not driven by money Great leaders show great compassion Tweetable Quotes: "We need to start thinking about leadership differently, or we're going to be left in the dust. We're not going to have anybody to lead or have to have anything to lead if we keep trying to lead the way that we've done that we did 30 or 40 years ago.” - Steve Fredlund “What is it that people really want in this world? Well, number one, they want more compassion, right? Strong leaders show great compassion. They show understanding that actually, you know what? I understand you, I want to support you, and I want to give you the tools and resources that empower you. That's what great leaders do.” - Adam Strong Reach out to Denis: Email: denis@leadingchangepartners.com Website: http://www.leadingchangepartners.com/ Leadership Is Changing Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/LeadershipIsChanging/ Leadership is Changing LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/leadership-is-changing-podcast/

	14 Feb 2021	107: Dave Greenberg - Calm the Farm – We’ve Got This	00:36:22
Dave Greenberg was born in New York City, spent time in Buffalo, NY and Dallas Texas, before moving to New Zealand, for a one-year IT contract, in 1990 where he still resides today. From the time he was only eight years old, Dave says he knew that he wanted to be a fireman. He saved his first life, doing CPR, when he was only 13-years old. Although he pursued a professional IT career, his passion for the emergency services never waned. Alongside his studies and career, he became a volunteer firefighter or ambulance officer, wherever he lived. His one-year IT contract was quickly extended to two, and during the second year, in 1991, he was lucky enough to become a crew member on a rescue helicopter, in Wellington, NZ. The volunteer position became a paid career, lasting over 25-years, where he was part of a team on nearly 4000 missions. For 12 of the years Dave was also the Operations Manager for the charity which ran the helicopter and two air ambulance aeroplanes. He managed a team of over 30 pilots, crew and paramedics, and managed the operational relationship with two aircraft suppliers, the health system and the local ambulance service. Dave re-started Emergency Preparedness Services, an Emergency Management consulting firm that he formed in the early 90s. EPS offers emergency training and consulting services to the corporate and government sector. He also began using his wealth of knowledge and stories to begin a professional speaking career; his main speaking topics are around Creating a Response culture and creating Trust. Covid19 brought much of his business to a screeching halt, in March 2020. As the Covid lockdown was announced in New Zealand, Dave was offered a short-term contract with the NZ Ministry of Health, on the Emergency Management Team and the Covid19 Response team. Dave is convinced that we all have the ability to create our own luck, and much of his good luck has been following the advice of mentors, along his career. Dave is proudest of his helicopter career, and all the people he had a hand in helping, over the 25-years. That being said, he is also immensely proud to be part of the Covid19 response team which has seen New Zealand’s response be recognised as one of the best in the world. On this episode: Dave talks about his leadership journey. Learning and modeling his leadership style based on the leaders he admires. Dave shares what it’s like being part of New Zealand’s Covid19 response team Dave explains the importance of Emergency Preparedness Dave discusses juggling between his business and being part of the Covid19 response team Dave’s view on what true leaders look like Dave stresses the importance of being calm in every situation The balance to lead and the opportunity to succeed Key Takeaways: Sometimes, leaders have to put their dreams on hold Give people what they need. Not what you want to deliver. We all have to pivot at some point in our lives. So, always be prepared. Lead by example Not every problem needs to be seen as a crisis. Not every problem is as big as it seems.

They don't know how to prioritize, and they have not adapted the structure of their organization, that culture to be more agile. They don't know how to sponsor projects. So I think it's just a very, very different type of leaders that we need to succeed in what I call the project economy, which is [where] most of the work is carried out through projects now, and it's a different game, and you need to really change the type of leadership.” - Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez “If you think about this, our health is like the head of the octopus, and then these other different facets of life are those tentacles. But that head is the middle of the essential thing… [If] it’s not functioning properly, those other facets of life are not going to function properly. ” - Julian Hayes II Reach out to Denis: Email: denis@leadingchangepartners.com Website: http://www.leadingchangepartners.com/ Leadership Is Changing Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/LeadershipIsChanging/ Leadership is Changing LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/leadership-is-changing-podcast/

	21 Jul 2022	328: Ask Denis: How Can I Raise My Profile In Meetings?	00:08:52
Raising your profile in meetings goes beyond having your voice heard - it is about adding value and influence. In today's episode, Denis discusses how to raise your profile in meetings by understanding your intent for the meeting, asking the right key questions, and bringing energy to the meeting. It is essential to reflect on what one wants to achieve from the meeting instead of simply occupying a seat. Tune in as Denis shares valuable information!

I share the three key areas for a better profile in meetings - understanding your intent, knowing what to ask, and bringing energy to the meeting.

	10 Oct 2023	513: Leadership is Changing Mashup \| (ft. Mark Havenner and Jon Darbyshire)	00:17:56
Shifting from structured corporate roles to the unpredictable world of entrepreneurship offers a unique set of challenges. As leaders lean into the digital age, it's important to understand the journeys of those who've made successful transitions. In today's episode, we revisit Denis' chats with Mark Havenner and Jon Darbyshire about taking the leap from corporate to entrepreneurship and nurturing our future leaders. Mark’s jump from corporate to establishing his own practice wasn't just a change in job titles; it was a call to action. Inspired by a vision to reshape outdated mindsets and streamline inefficiencies, Mark consistently underlines the essence of businesses to not only grasp the value they provide but to deeply understand their core motivation. Jon shares his experiences with "Smart Suite" – a beacon for organizations swamped with a mishmash of tools and processes. For Jon, leadership was more than just direction – it was about crafting services, building consistency, and nurturing the next generation of cybersecurity visionaries. In this episode: Mark shares his experience guiding executives and communication teams to position themselves as industry leaders through a unique approach to address marketing and communication challenges. Mark’s experience transitioning from Fortune 500 companies in the corporate world to running his own business. How companies can position themselves in the market with differentiation. Jon shares how Smart Suite, a comprehensive work management platform, amalgamates tools and functionalities that professionals might use daily. Archer Technologies' Genesis sprouted from the need to systematize cybersecurity. Originally serving a consultative role for clients, the lack of consistent security processes inspired the foundation of Archer. Jon talks about why promoting the cross-training of teams from different geographies was a key strategy. Main takeaways: Clear and aligned goals are the key to dismantling bottlenecks. Establish clear market positioning. Beyond your product or service features, focus on the 'why' of your offering. Emphasize the value you bring to your customers rather than just the functionalities of your product. Operating outside the confines of a traditional corporate environment can offer more agility and direct impact. Stay adaptable and open to new, efficient ways of working. Leaders should be acutely aware of their brand's position in the market. Differentiation is achieved not just by what you offer but by how you communicate its value to your audience. Regularly communicate and reinforce the broader purpose of the organization to ensure alignment and drive. Create future leaders by nurturing young talent. Success isn't always a smooth journey. Leaders must be adaptable, understanding, and proactive in addressing the diverse challenges they face. Quotes: “The biggest challenge is that goals are typically not aligned. The way businesses can dismantle some of those bottlenecks is simply by aligning what we're after and what we're trying to do as an organization.” – Mark Havenner “If you use the value that you bring to the world as your communications platform, then suddenly you are automatically positioned in the marketplace. You automatically have differentiation.” – Mark Havenner “We created a national practice of the best of the best resources that we had. We would continually travel around and help educate the young people that we were hiring that were just coming on board.” – Jon Darbyshire Connect with Denis: Email:...
