Lea Tran delivers her powerful message of courage and hopes to overcome challenging times in her keynote speeches to inspire her audience not to settle during challenging times but look for ways to transform adversity into opportunities.In 2019, Lea brought her story to the TEDx stage and then published her harrowing boat journey during the pandemic in 2020 "I Did Not Miss the Boat- Memoir of a Vietnam Hoa Refugee." where she depicts the struggles of an adolescent girl who was being tugged on one side by a culture of duty & tradition and on the other by a new land of personal opportunity & freedom As a transformation coach, Lea works with her clients to build their confidence, help them get out of their comfort zone, rediscover their brilliance, and proactively creating opportunities that will propel them forward. "Lea Tran has again brought the Vietnam War era to the forefront by courageously contrasting two very different cultural dynamics, highlighting the struggle for survival in almost impossible circumstances. The pain, danger, untold suffering, uncertainties, and the will to survive that Lea brought to life in her memoir should serve as a reminder to us that determination and the will to survive are two of humanity's greatest assets."- Review on Amazon
