Change is inevitable, but why is it so hard to make it stick? In this episode, I sit down with Lior Arussy, one of the world’s leading experts on customer experience and business transformation, to uncover why most change initiatives fail and what you can do to make sure yours succeeds.
Lior doesn’t just talk about change from a boardroom perspective—he goes deep into the human side of transformation. From understanding why employees resist change to unlocking personal and organizational potential, Lior shares a powerful, bottom-up approach that challenges everything you thought you knew about leadership, identity, and strategy execution.
If you’ve ever struggled with change—whether in business or in life—this conversation is packed with insights that will shift your mindset and help you drive real, lasting transformation.
