Episode 6: Breaking the Rules That Block Change for Marginalized Population: Elena Panaritis on Leadership, Trust, and Turning Values Into Action

The Leadership Thread with Dr. Peggy Pelonis

In this powerful episode of The Leadership Thread, we sit down with Elena Panaritis, economist, former World Bank advisor, parliamentarian, and fearless change agent, for a deeply human conversation about what truly shapes leaders. From a childhood rooted in unconditional love and justice, inspired by her formidable grandmother, to confronting inequality on the ground in the developing world, Panaritis shares how values, not titles, fuel lasting change. She reflects on the moment she stopped observing broken systems and started challenging the rules that keep them in place, turning “thought into action” and sparking her documentary series “70% Informals”. A moving discussion on trust, courage, and why real leadership begins with empathy and responsibility for others.
