Chief Change Officer™
Change is already working on you. Could you make it work for you?
Chief Change Officer™ is a podcast for people who want to turn change into a breakthrough. It is for those reshaping a career, redirecting an organization, or rebuilding a life.
The show is hosted by Vince Chan, whose first lesson in change came at age four, after a severe arm injury led to surgery, hospitalization, and a long recovery. Since adolescence, she has lived through 20 major transformations across countries, careers, and crises. Before launching the podcast, she spent three decades in global finance and economics, from central banking and credit markets to billion-dollar institutional capital.
That experience taught her that change is never only personal. Markets shift. Institutions decide. Circumstances expand or narrow what people believe is possible. Talent matters, but so do context, timing, and power.
Vince brings together rare minds, black sheep, breakthrough builders, and unconventional champions from around the world. They include scholars who have spent decades studying people and institutions, executives who have carried responsibility through uncertainty, and leaders whose most valuable knowledge was earned beyond the clean lines of a textbook.
Together, they bring what Vince calls hard-earned human intelligence: judgment shaped by consequence and tested by time, trial, and revision.
They do not offer polished success stories or textbook formulas. They reveal what helped when plans collapsed, careers broke open, or life demanded a new direction.
Each conversation turns hard-earned human intelligence into practical judgment: how to understand what is changing, make stronger decisions, and move forward without losing yourself.
Chief Change Officer™ extends Vince’s work beyond markets and institutions into the human side of power and change. How people understand themselves, navigate their environment, and reclaim agency when the old rules no longer hold.
A Global Top 1% podcast and US #1 Careers show, Chief Change Officer™ is built for people who do not want merely to endure change. They want to understand it, use it, and turn it into a breakthrough.
Life is change. The question is whether change works on you, or you learn to make it work for you.

#418 Resa Lewiss MD: Building a Career with Both Hands — Part Two
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Part Two, Resa gets tactical. She explains why Micro Skills begins with time, trust, and self-care—because none of the communication tricks matter if you’re running on empty. She unpacks workplace blind spots that slow careers down, shares why she wrote this book for more than just doctors, and explains why clarity, not complexity, wins in high-stakes situations. Also: BCC etiquette, post-traumatic growth, and the exact moment she realized the workplace comes with an unwritten playbook—and how she set out to write it.
This is about what really sustains you: self-respect, situational fluency, and knowing what’s worth your time.
Key Highlights of Our Interview:
The Workplace Doesn’t Come with a Playbook
“I didn’t get the playbook—so I wrote one.”
Why Micro Skills is the field guide she wishes she had years ago.
Why the Book Starts with Time
“Time can only be spent. You can’t save it. You can’t refund it.”
What trauma bays taught her about urgency, and how it applies to every job.
Letters of Recommendation and Hidden Rules
“No one told me how the game worked. That one insight saved me years of inefficiency.”
The invisible workplace norms that trip people up—and how to name them.
Rest Is Strategy, Not a Luxury
“If you’re not well, nothing else works. We call that micro skill #1.”
Why self-care opens the book—and isn’t just about bubble baths.
Intentional Email Etiquette
“BCC isn’t sneaky—it’s smart. You’re protecting privacy and reducing clutter.”
How respect shows up in the smallest digital behaviors.
Practicing Under Pressure
“People think it’s all adrenaline. But real calm comes from preparation.”
What she teaches students who want to stay grounded in chaos.
