The Brilliant Move: A Career Coaching Book to Align Your Work with Who You Are

A Guided Career Coaching Book for Purpose-Driven Professionals

What if success wasn’t just about achievement—but about alignment?

The Brilliant Move is launching this upcoming September! Purchases will be available soon.

The Brilliant Move is more than a book. It’s a self-guided coaching experience designed to help you rediscover your values, build a career around your strengths, and move forward with sustainable clarity and confidence.

Written by Yules Chan, a Certified Work-Life & Career Strategist and founder of Brilliant Person Career Coaching, this book shares the tools, mindset, and planning framework that have helped hundreds of clients align their work with who they are, not just what they do.

Whether you're navigating change, recovering from burnout, or building something new, The Brilliant Move will meet you where you are and guide you forward, step by step.

Who Is This Book For?

If you’re feeling disconnected, uncertain, or overwhelmed in your career, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. This book is for you if you're:

• A career changer seeking more purpose and clarity

• A student or graduate exploring your options

• A burned-out professional ready to make a shift

• A creative or entrepreneur looking to align your work with your values

• A faith-driven professional trying to build meaningful work without compromise

• A coach, counselor, or educator seeking a guided tool to support others

This book also works beautifully as a DIY career planner, journal, or reflective companion between (or in place of) coaching sessions.

What’s Inside The Brilliant Move

This isn’t a passive read. It’s an active guide for aligning your mindset, energy, and career choices through reflection and strategy.

Here’s what you’ll explore:

• The Harmony Framework™ – a four-part model rooted in Discipline, Pleasure, Peace, and Purpose

• Guided reflection exercises and coaching insights based on real-life client sessions

• Worksheets to clarify priorities, goals, boundaries, and ideal work environments

This is a book you’ll return to again and again as your goals and seasons evolve.

Why This Book Matters Now

In a culture of endless productivity and constant change, many professionals are burned out, directionless, or stuck in roles that no longer fit. Career clarity doesn’t come from grinding harder; it comes from aligning deeper.

“You weren’t created to fit into a job description. You were designed to grow into a life that reflects your purpose.”— Yules Chan
