WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO?
We'll support you to get there.
We are a boutique strategic management consultancy and executive coaching studio supporting people behind impactful ideas to launch, transition, and scale.
The Vietnamese word, làm đi, translates to "work it. Behind every great idea that moves us forward are critical launch, transition, and scale moments. In today's professional context, what it takes to go and do the work is nuanced, complex, and difficult to navigate. We are here to partner with you through your most challenging pivots.
Adding capacity to boost your capabilities.
Executive Coaching
We are your biggest ally, accountability partner, and cheerleader through your toughest chapters. Our signature three-hour life design session is where we begin. From there, we provide the capabilities to support you as you test and implement your next chapter. We support you in reaching your goals in alignment with your values and capability. We approach each client with intention, connecting them to vision, purpose, mission, and supportive networks. We've worked with recently laid-off tech executives, C-suite moms reentering the workforce, leaders navigating work and chronic illness, and corporate managers looking to reconnect with the community they live in. We are with you every step of the way.
Public Speaking
We are here to move our communities and your workforce into action in alignment with your mission, vision, and values rooted in place, culture, and history. In addition to
one-time keynotes and panels, we are best at coaching and connecting with your team and leadership to audit and survey existing working culture and community to customize our presentations. Examples include: AANHPI heritage month planning, surveying, and facilitating a panel of C-Suite executives with an audience of 400+ people; leadership, networking, and navigating career transitions for 700+ people; civic and political activation during national elections. We are available for both national and global speaking engagements and are comfortable working in multiple time zones from Seattle, to Paris, and Kabul.

My lived experience in low-income housing and food instability in the U.S., deep poverty in Vietnam, and as a cancer survivor in my 20s informs my work in healing leadership, and transformational systems change in government, startups, and non-profits across the U.S. and in Europe. From modular housing to homelessness and fintech, immigrant integration to economic development strategies for refugees, I've been at the forefront of launching and implementing practical innovations that meet the needs of those who are historically left out of opportunities and resources.
The urgency and need for systems, strategies, and leadership across all sectors to adapt, learn and grow at the rate of compounding innovation and technological change make our work and collaboration more necessary than ever.
