LINH HUYNH BIOGRAPHY

Linh Huynh is not your typical speaker or adventurer. A Vietnamese refugee who came to Canada as part of the “Boat People,” her life began with a journey into the unknown. This experience sparked a relentless curiosity and a drive to push the boundaries of what’s possible. Today, Linh Huynh is a professional speaker, author, inspirational storyteller, and educator, known for her adventurous spirit and her belief in the power of asking, “What if?”

Linh Huynh has embarked on extraordinary feats that challenge conventional limits. As an “extreme non-athlete,” Linh Huynh has conquered the Antarctic Ice Marathon, and the North Pole Marathon and became the first Canadian woman to complete the 4 Deserts: a grueling series of 250km ultra-marathons across the world’s harshest terrains.

Linh Huynh achieved the remarkable “Grand Slam” by finishing all four races within one calendar year— being the eighth woman in history to do so. Her resilience and determination are testaments to the idea that you don’t need to be a professional athlete to achieve the extraordinary—you just need the courage to try.

Her journey as a speaker is equally inspiring. In her TEDx talk, “Rethinking Limits,” Linh Huynh invites audiences to reconsider the boundaries they impose on themselves, urging them to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth. Her upcoming book, “Luckpusher,” delves deeper into her philosophy of living life with curiosity, courage, and a willingness to take risks.

With a career that spans education and public speaking, Linh Huynh has worked with diverse organizations, inspiring and motivating audiences around the world. Her storytelling is rooted in her personal experiences and infused with humour and humility, making her talks both relatable and impactful.

Beyond her speaking engagements, her adventurous spirit extends into her personal life. Linh Huynh has traveled to over 40 countries, immersing herself in different cultures and landscapes, always seeking to learn and grow. Whether Linh Huynh running marathons, exploring new cuisines, or simply wondering, “What if?”, Linh Huynh embodies a life lived with passion, curiosity, and a fearless pursuit of the extraordinary.

Linh Huynh Speaking Testimonials

"I was gob-smacked by Linh Huynh’s story.  Throughout her very funny presentation ran the underlying theme of courage.  Courage in the face of great mental, spiritual and physical challenges.  Facing yourself squarely in the mirror and looking deep to see what it is, exactly, that is stopping you from achieving whatever it is you wish to achieve."

Gillian Watkinson

Conference Attendee

"A colleague suggested Linh Huynh as a potential keynote speaker after seeing her speak at another event. After reviewing Linh’s TED Talk, we knew that Linh would be the perfect fit for our conference! The spirit of resilience, intentionality, perseverance, and growth in Linh Huynh’s story was consistent with the theme of our conference. Working with Linh Huynh was fantastic! She was enthusiastic and customized her presentations to our library audience. Many delegates listed her keynote and breakout session as the most beneficial aspect of the entire conference."
