Description

In this insightful episode of "Mistakes Over Failure," Dr. Christine Crawford and Leslie Wingo welcome Nicolette Maury and Crystal Lam for a compelling discussion on leadership, cultural adaptation, and personal growth.


Nicolette is the CEO of Avani Solutions, a climate technology company delivering ESG solutions to the real estate industry. Listen in as she shares her journey of finding her authentic voice in male-dominated industries and the continuous process of self-discovery. 


Crystal, a second-generation leader in her family's wood manufacturing business as the Managing Director at Vinawood Ltd in Vietnam, humorously recounts overcoming "triple whammies" of being an overseas Vietnamese, the boss's daughter, and a woman in a traditionally male field, emphasizing the importance of humility and data-backed assertiveness. 


It's easy to see how they became members of YPO. Both women offer unique perspectives on navigating cultural differences in business and the valuable lessons learned from perceived "mistakes," transforming them into opportunities for impact and understanding.
