Why We Resist Change August 13, 2013

Host: Armand DiMeleGuests: Andrea Katz, Andrew Phillips, Giullian Gioiello

Change is inevitable, but transition is psychological and far slower than the physical event. Armand DiMele breaks down why people cling to the status quo, why being changed against your will hurts more than choosing change yourself, and how to use the uncertain in-between period as a space for growth. Co-host Giullian Gioiello joins the conversation.
