?? New Episode: Balancing Parenting and Career in Vietnam! ???? I recently had an enlightening conversation with Ellen (Minh) NGUYEN on Viet Boss Babes, diving into the question, "Can Viet women have it all?" Ellen is running 3 businesses and a wonderful mom to 2 active sons. Here are my top three takeaways from our discussion: Support Systems Matter: In Vietnam, the combination of structured school schedules, affordable childcare, and the collective support from extended family makes it easier for Vietnamese women to balance career and parenting. Adapting to Cultural Shifts in the Work Place: Ellen highlighted the importance of respecting and blending both local and international work culture. Your first boss when you return to Vietnam will have a significant impact on how you integrate and thrive in the new work environment. Embracing local culture while infusing professional best practices from abroad can lead to a harmonious and productive work environment. Organizational Skills and Teamwork are Key: Whether it's managing a business or a household, having the right teammates at home and at work are key. Being organized and scheduling everything in advance, including family and work commitments, is crucial to maintaining balance. Dive deeper into our discussion to learn more about the nuances of living and raising a family in Vietnam: https://lnkd.in/gwy5tgcq Special thanks to Overseas Vietnamese for connecting us with other inspiring Viet women around the world and making this episode happen!
