Are you paralyzed by the fear and risks that come with considering, designing, and executing a career change? If you're ready to break free from traditional career paths and master your future, you are in the right place!
I am your host, Vince Chan. My life story reads like a manual on overcoming risks and fears. Since age 15, I've navigated 18 career transitions over 36 years. I've weathered six economic crises, adapted to life in over 10 cities, and overcome battles with mental illness. I have not only survived but thrived. From managing billion-dollar funds and publishing two books to navigating the academic halls of Yale and Chicago Booth and speaking on global education technology stages, I bring you wisdom not just from my victories but also from the fires I’ve walked through, each time emerging stronger.
To help you get unstuck, minimize risks, and overcome fears—so that you can change your career on your own terms, with resilience and intelligence—I created the "Chief Change Officer" podcast.
Here, I distill my career success formula into two words: credible and incredible. Always learn from the most credible people; it's these individuals who consistently create incredible work—not the other way around.
So, I meticulously select the most credible global figures for you to learn from. This careful curation ensures that every episode enriches your understanding and maximises your ability to enact your own incredible career changes.
The centerpiece of the podcast is the learnable career story told by real-life role models, akin to business cases and corporate leaders used in the HBS Case Method, a 100-year-old learning standard still widely adopted in world-class, modern-day business schools.
My guests range from the youngest Singaporean parliamentarian at 30, to a trailblazing LGBT tech CEO at 60, a polyglot Russian diplomat turned energy innovator in Cincinnati at 50, and a Parisian lawyer who pivoted to entrepreneurship dedicated to building the youth economy in Senegal at 40. Each has mastered their challenges, offering you time-tested perspectives on how to navigate career changes to succeed with purpose and potential.
An added bonus: The podcast features no ads, no political, corporate, or sales talk, ensuring authentic and uninterrupted conversations.
Soon, I will launch exclusive resources for subscribers and members—courses, coaching, and consulting tailored to amplify your success and mitigate risks, empowering you to define your career laws of change.
