For event professionals

Wonder off the beaten path

There is nothing that gets me more excited than finding unique ways to connect with the audience. From digging for relevant statistics, quoting a lyric, finding a movie clip, to weaving obscure facts into a powerful and humorous message.

I invite you to laugh with me, and sometimes at me and most importantly, be inspired into action.

Linh’s bio (long but way more interesting version)

Linh is a professional speaker, author, educator, and extreme non-athlete. She has completed the Antarctic Ice Marathon (in Antarctica), the North Pole Marathon (in the North Pole – for realzz), and a series of ultra-marathons of 250km each in common places like the 4 deserts.

She’s delivered a TEDx talk called “Rethinking Limits” and is the author of the upcoming book called “However the Fire Burns. 

Linh is a passionately curious and adventurous person. Her first adventure began at the age of 4 when she and her family were part of the mass exodus of Boat People who fled Vietnam after the war. Arriving in Canada in the 1980s, her journey as a child opened her eyes to what is possible if one lives intently and fearlessly.

Surviving a harrowing journey at such a young age instilled a deep sense of gratitude for the life that was gifted to her. Her driving philosophy is to explore everything that life has to offer. Linh loves exploring (40 countries and counting), running to the ends of the earth, devoting herself to the culinary arts, and other outrageous adventures and shenanigans. She is on a mission to inspire people to face challenges and create an extraordinary life full of courage, joy, and wonder.
