Change is hard—even when we want it. In this Forum Podcast episode, Alida van Dijk, Executive Director of Community Counselling Centre of London Ontario and therapist, joins Aaron Einfeld, Director of Lifelong Learning at Calvin Theological Seminary, to explore why personal and organizational change is often slow, complex, and emotionally charged. Drawing from her work at Community Counselling London and her experience in Calvin Theological Seminary’s Adaptive Leadership cohort, Alida shares insights on: - The “immunity to change” framework by Keegan & Lahey - How competing commitments and fear hold us back - What therapy teaches us about human resistance to change - Why church and nonprofit leaders must start with personal transformation - How to move from awareness to action with small, persistent steps For leaders, therapists, pastors, and changemakers, this is an honest, encouraging, and practical conversation about doing the hard work of leading change—from the inside out.
