Yvonne Daher, Lebanon
Social entrepreneur and coach
Yvonne joined the program to get clear on her vision for her work to support people in her home country. And whilst she got that, she found something much more profound from the experience – a tribe. With her new-found energy and cheerleaders behind her, Yvonne is now able to make the impact she craves.
Elsbeth Boes, Netherlands
And Now What
Elsbeth joined the program to get clear on what she wanted from her business. After some soul searching she decided to sell her business to a partner to pursue new horizons.

Farah Bouzida, France
Corporate Activist
Farah launched The Arab Feminist podcast during the program after discovering her passion for addressing inequality and systemic prejudice in Arab countries.
Beth Derry, UK
Lovely Messy Humans
Beth is one of the most experienced sustainability copywriters out there and joined Vision 20/20 because she was on the cusp of taking a new professional direction. She felt ready to move forward, but needed some support and inspiration to help her get started. The result was a new project – Lovely Messy Humans – that is very close to her heart and her own personal story.
Wolfgang von Geramb, Germany
The Second Mountain
Wolfgang came on the program to build clarity around his new idea – the Second Mountain – and his new-found purpose. That is to help female founders to nurture their inner light and start a business on their own – and show their bigger light.

Victoria Jenkins, UK
Founder, Unhidden Clothing
Victoria is an everyday superhero. She joined the program to level up her offering for her adaptive clothing business but then Covid happened. So for the short term she pivoted to making ethical, fun masks to address a huge shortage for quality products at a time of need.

Founder/Investor, Sayt
Nail is a formed energy director turned tech startup founder who joined the program to build clarity and find his tribe. He’s found an inner confidence and is more comfortable with uncertainty.
