The Illumify Game Changer podcast takes you on the leader’s journey. It’s hosted by Marianne Gobeil, Founder and CEO of Illumify Inc., an internationally award-winning expert on expressing high impact leadership who has over 25 years of experience working with C-suite executives and other leaders around the world. In this podcast, you accompany one person, Jonathan Hill, as he answers each of the 57 questions essential to illuminating a meaningful change and being able to ignite it. This is your front row seat to his journey from, in his own words, “not a leader” to a leader with a big vision. It’s for those committed to igniting meaningful change in their organizations, communities, and the world at large.
In this episode, we begin the leader’s journey by meeting Jonathan who, upon agreeing to play the Game Changer publicly through this podcast, cautioned me “I’m not a leader”. As you listen, you may hear him reveal otherwise -- whether he recognizes it yet, or not.
