Course Description

What happens when life takes an unexpected turn? In this episode of CA Listen Sparkling Conversations, Vincent Yik, Director and Co-Founder of FirstTracks Ventures and former Group CFO of a listed company, candidly shares his journey through one of the most significant transitions of his career.

Drawing on lessons from leadership, entrepreneurship and even long-distance motorcycle journeys, Vincent reflects on navigating uncertainty, overcoming setbacks and redefining success beyond a job title. He discusses the importance of separating identity from position, staying grounded during periods of disruption and finding the courage to move forward when plans suddenly change.

Through personal stories and practical insights, Vincent highlights four principles that guided his transition: professionalism, positivity, prioritisation and pivoting. His experiences offer valuable lessons for leaders and professionals facing change, reminding us that resilience is not about avoiding obstacles, but about responding to them with purpose and perspective.

This podcast is hosted by Victor Lai, Principal Consultant, Citadel Corp.
