Phuong Huynh: PART 2 – From Refugee to Resilient Leader

At just seven years old, LV136's Phuong Huynh fled Vietnam in the middle of the night, escaping the communist regime by boat. She endured unimaginable challenges — running out of food & water, her mother being taken by pirates, surviving a year of refugee camps in Malaysia and the Philippines – to arrive in the U.S. with nothing but hope and determination.

In this powerful two-part episode of EQ U, Phuong shares her gripping story of survival, adaptation, and triumph. She opens up about her journey from refugee to corporate leader at VMware, how she overcame adversity, and the role emotional intelligence played in shaping her success.

In this episode – Part 2 – we explore her rise in the tech industry, how ChoiceCenter Leadership University transformed her perspective and supported her to find her purpose, and the EQ tools she uses to navigate life and business.
