In this episode of Career Coaching Secrets, host Kevin sits down with Julie Sivanthaphanith, a cross-cultural leadership coach and founder of Keystoners, based in Vietnam. Julie shares how she helps expats, global Vietnamese, and multinational teams adapt their leadership styles to Vietnam’s Confucian-rooted culture.

She reveals the biggest challenges Western leaders face when stepping into Asian business environments—especially the shift from “deliver to earn trust” to “build trust to deliver.” Julie also opens up about using LinkedIn as her only marketing channel, navigating the unpredictability of solopreneurship, and why she values peace of mind over aggressive growth.
