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.

#417 Resa Lewiss MD: Building a Career with Both Hands — Part One
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Part One, Dr. Resa Lewiss reflects on the experiences that led her to emergency medicine, from early memories of gender inequity at the dinner table to the interdisciplinary studies that shaped her worldview. She shares why she chose a career in high-pressure medicine, how a love of procedures led her to ultrasound, and why teaching globally changed how she practices and leads.
Key Highlights of Our Interview:
Medicine Was a Calling, Not a Family Trade
“I didn’t grow up around doctors. But from early on, medicine was in my bones.”
Resa explains how her internal pull toward healthcare was stronger than any external influence.
The First Fight for Fairness
“My dad said, ‘Girls, clear the table.’ I said, ‘What about the boys?’”
She recalls early moments that sparked her refusal to accept unequal expectations.
Finding Her Fit in Emergency Medicine
“Once I rotated in emergency, I thought—this is it. This is where I belong.”
Resa describes the moment she discovered the dynamic, procedure-driven specialty she’d been looking for.
The Power of a Liberal Arts Education
“My literature and sociology classes made me a better doctor. They taught me empathy.”
She shares how studying beyond science helped her connect more deeply with patients.
Teaching Around the World
“When I went to India, Rwanda, Jordan—these were not lectures. These were collaborations.”
Why global teaching in ultrasound expanded her understanding of medicine and leadership.
