Why I Created The Brilliant Move Podcast
At some point in our lives, many of us hit a wall, emotionally, professionally, or spiritually. The question beneath it all is: “Is this career really right for me." We wake up, head into work, and feel the dull ache of a deeper question bubbling beneath the surface: Is this it? The Brilliant Move podcast was created to help you navigate through this moment of pause. To avoid a leap into the unknown and instead, a leap into a purposeful step toward career clarity and fulfillment.
I’m Yules Chan, Certified Work-Life & Career Strategist and founder of Brilliant Person Career Coaching, a Calgary-based service offering both career coaching and career counselling to individuals seeking clarity, direction, and fulfillment in their work lives. In this blog, I like to share the origin of my podcast, how my career path evolved, and what it truly means to move with intention when building a life that aligns with your strengths, values, and vision.
From Confusion to Career Clarity
This podcast is more than a project, it includes reflection of my lived experience. I know what it’s like to feel uncertain about your career path, to wrestle with questions that don’t have clear answers, and to want more than just a paycheck.
What moved me from confusion to clarity was the realization that there’s power in taking a step that is rooted in who you truly are. That’s where my career coaching practice began: by helping others recognize that the best direction forward comes from the inside out.
Career Coaching vs Career Counselling: What’s the Difference?
In Episode 1, I also address a common question I hear from clients: What’s the difference between career coaching and career counselling?
Career coaching is action-oriented. It focuses on your future, your potential, and the practical strategies to help you navigate transitions, make empowered choices, and develop your career.
Career counselling often explores your emotional history, mental health, and deeper patterns that may influence your decisions.
Both are valuable, but depending on your support needs, one direction might be more effective than the other. The Brilliant Person Career Coaching offers both pathways.
Start Small: A Step Toward a Fulfilling Career
Career clarity doesn't require perfection. It starts with curiosity, self-reflection, and the courage to pause. My podcast shares simple, actionable steps to help you gain insight into your strengths, values, and ideal work path.
What excites me?
When do I feel most alive?
What do I want my life to reflect?
My podcast offers practical and informative steps to begin uncovering answers toward building career clarity and satisfaction. Think of it as the warm-up before the big game, foundational but necessary.
What’s Your Next Brilliant Move?
If you have been searching for clarity, craving direction, or simply needing a push to get started, The Brilliant Move is for you. My hope is that through this podcast you will find encouragement to pursue a career that’s not just sustainable, but deeply satisfying.
Your next move does not have to be dramatic. It just needs to be true to you.
