Lucy Delbriel

I was born in France and have lived in Brazil, Portugal, Italy, and Vietnam. Moving to Hanoi four years ago meant interrupting my career on behalf of my husband's. As a new mother, far from family and friends, I struggled to reinvent myself. But with the support of the expat community in Hanoi, I was able to create and run a successful business. In 2017, I co-founded Empowering Perspectives. I recently moved to Lyon, a beautiful and vibrant city near the Alps. Inspired by my entrepreneurial adventure in Vietnam, leveraging my skills in Law and Finance, I decided to redirect my professional path. I am thrilled to be working for a business accelerator. I love listening to people's ideas, helping them structure their projects, and watching them grow. The people I met in Hanoi helped me to reclaim my professional identity. Communities have the power to inspire, encourage, and support. This is what I believe!

Esmeralda Garcia

Originally from Spain, I have lived throughout America and Europe. In 2014, I moved with my husband and two "Third Culture" kids to Vietnam where I started a new chapter of my personal and professional life. With over 10 years of experience in corporate, government and non-profit entities as psychologist, trainer, human resources specialist, and career consultant, I began a coaching career in Hanoi. Trained in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), leadership and human resources management, and as a transition and executive certified coach working in Spanish, French and English, I consult with a wide array of clients from America, Africa, Europe, and Asia with my company Empowering Coaching. I believe in the transformative power of coaching. Every moment can become an opportunity, bringing inner growth and awareness of our strengths.
