What does it mean to build a life between cultures? How do identity, leadership, and belonging shape our experiences in a globalized world?In this episode of Mosaic Minds, we dive into a fascinating conversation with Amélie Huynh Le Maux—an entrepreneur, researcher, and creative spirit whose life defies labels. With a PhD in biology, a career spanning copywriting, teaching, jewelry-making, and even bar ownership, Amélie embodies the essence of a "mosaic mind." Having lived in Vietnam for nearly a decade, she shares profound insights on:

• Cultural Identity – How her blended name and Breton roots shape her sense of self in Vietnam.
• Home as a Feeling – Why she defines "home" not by place, but by people and personal space.
• Generational Shifts – The evolving attitudes of Vietnam’s youth on gender, diversity, and inclusivity.
• Women’s Resilience – The strength of Vietnamese women in business—and the unspoken challenges they still face.
• Global Mindset – Why active listening, empathy, and emotional intelligence are key to bridging cultures.

From navigating tonal language barriers to confronting workplace biases, Amélie’s story is a testament to curiosity, adaptability, and the beauty of a life woven from multiple worlds. Whether you're an expat, a leader, or simply fascinated by cross-cultural journeys, this episode offers a fresh perspective on what it means to thrive in between.🎧 Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube🔗 Follow Mosaic Minds for more inspiring stories of women in leadership across Vietnam and beyond.____If you know a woman leader in Vietnam who would like to join this podcast, please contact My at: 📧 Email: my@equestasia.com.au | 🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/myholland/___𝗠𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗰 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱: 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆Leadership isn't a one-size-fits-all canvas.
