At Keystoners, we don’t just adapt to culture, we turn credibility into traction.


A keystone is the shift that changes everything:

➝ from outsider to trusted leader, from Day One.

➝ from slow traction to fast wins, without costly missteps.

➝ from adapting blindly, to earning credibility, driving alignment, delivery, and visibility.

➝ from uncertainty to momentum for your next move.


In Vietnam, these shifts often take 6–12 months.

With us, they takes weeks.

I know what it's like to be capable & committed,

yet, hit walls in a culture you don't fully speak.

That's why I built the pathway I wish I had.

Hi I'm Julie,
the coach & founder of Keystoners.

I’ve led for 20 years across cultures, industries, and continents. And still, landing leadership in a new culture was one of the hardest shift.

French-Vietnamese, born between worlds, I thought I had the code. But from France to China, then Vietnam, the rules kept changing.

Experience wasn’t enough. Being capable didn’t translate.

Trust took time I didn’t have.

That’s when I stopped adapting harder, and started decoding what truly works across borders.

Today, I coach leaders who don’t want to waste 6–12 months learning by trial and error.

We fast-track what matters:

Clarity. Credibility. Confidence.

Right where culture meets performance.
