Leadership Starts with Culture and Grows with Awareness.

In this insightful mashup, Denis Gianoutsos features Dr. Alex Vincent and Jake Stahl: two experts reshaping how leaders understand culture, communication, and connection. From diagnosing the silent breakdowns in organizational culture to reimagining how leaders speak and onboard, this episode invites you to lead with sharper awareness and deeper intention.

You’ll walk away with real strategies for evolving culture, building trust, and creating an environment where people can thrive.

Press play and reframe your view of what leadership can and should look like today.
