IMPACT CIRCLE
A 6 month journey to launch/grow a social impact venture that brings you home
What is the Impact Circle?
The Impact Circle is a transformative 1-on-1 coaching container designed to guide you on a journey of self-discovery by empowering you to create what you are being called to create in the world.
I use the term "circle" intentionally, as it symbolizes the cyclical nature of our path, leading us back home to our true selves and our deepest purpose.
Each coaching session gives you a piece of the puzzle to your true self.
My coaching style combines somatic work with business strategy because I believe there is a profound connection between your inner world and the impact you seek to make in the world.
If there is something you are yearning to birth into the world, or an early-stage venture that needs additional nourishment and care, I’d love to meet you!

Why join the Impact Circle?
You have an idea that is ready to be birthed into the world. An idea that is so close to your heart, you can't not do it!
You are looking for support and accountability on this journey. You want to make an impact in the world and feel lighter doing it.
know yourself
questions like “who am I?” and “what makes me come alive?” are necessary to for clarity in your venture.
practice healing
you will practice a new way of being in the world. one that is more compassionate and creative, and built on trust.
stay motivated
challenges and setbacks are part of the journey. rather than just pushing through, there are things that might need to be processed for alignment.
witness the magic
when you create what you’re being called to create in the world, from this grounded sense of being, it will begin to feel like magic.
Najla, Founder and CEO
“I decided to work with Besan at a time when I was just leaving my job to focus on continuing to grow my own initiative that I started some years ago. I was looking for support and guidance from someone who has gone through similar experiences when it comes to initiating and growing an impact venture.
What I appreciate most about my sessions with Besan is how seamlessly she combines personal coaching with career coaching. I came to realize in a few sessions, that personal and mental wellbeing is a core necessity to be able to make any sort of impact through one's work. Since we started working together, my mindset has shifted in many ways, allowing me to come as I am and challenge certain thoughts and beliefs that could have been holding me back from achieving my goals.”
How it works
In our 6 month 1-on-1 coaching container you’ll gain clarity on what is holding you back and find the motivation needed to create what you are being called to create.
We work together over 6 months to heal and build, simultaneously.
For the first 6 weeks we meet weekly to lay the foundation, then we switch to bi-weekly sessions to work through any challenges/setbacks.
Between sessions, I am available via email to help keep the momentum.
Sessions are virtual and the investment is $5,000.
We will combine inner work with outer impact to build a venture that is in full alignment with who you are.
By the end of this container, you will find yourself practicing a new way of being, while also building something you love!
Diyala, Founder and Author
“Besan’s style of coaching really helped me approach my journey from a [much-needed] level of compassion and appreciation that I never really had. We are our own worst critics and it was super helpful having someone like Besan cheering for you along the way, while also helping you learn to be kinder to yourself.
I can now approach my venture with more kindness, and most of all confidence. Moving forward, I anticipate myself having a more ambitious approach to my venture, and can now focus my efforts on making myself my own accountability partner.”
What is in the toolkit?
mindfulness
why are you in such a hurry? what happens when you sit in the present moment? mindful living is the foundation for healing.
embodiment
disembodiment is a response to trauma. come home to your body through somatic tools that allow you to connect with its innate wisdom and beauty.
energy medicine
there is something much larger than you and me. whatever your spiritual/religious beliefs, the Universal Energy Field is a powerful source to refuel.
tapping (EFT)
sometimes the mind can get stuck. tapping on accupuncture points, we promote mind-body connection to resolve what needs to be resolved.
Lina, Founder
“Embarking on a social impact venture and then actually kicking it off the ground seemed like a moonshot to me...when I heard that Besan was piloting her Impact Circle offering, all I could think was it couldn't have been better timed.
More than that, the experience surpassed my expectations: the early stage business best practices are not new to me, but the inner work that Besan has guided me through while deliberately catering to my state of mind each week now seems indispensable for any growth and success moving forward. I am a passionate person by nature but the ability to anchor myself in that passion regardless of anything that comes my way is a muscle I was unable to intentionally exercise. For that, I'm forever grateful!”
Hi! My name is Besan. And this is exactly what I wish I had when launching my social impact venture.
In 2016, when I launched my first social enterprise, BuildPalestine, I was motivated by impact. As a Palestinian-American, I saw the challenges grassroots organizations faced to raise funds as well as the global community that didn’t know how to support. And I knew I could help.
My previous experiences as a management consultant and researcher taught me how to conduct analyses and make presentations. But this was the first time I was building something completely new. Something that was so personal.
There were many training programs out there that would teach the tools and strategy. Finding the right framework was never a problem…
What I struggled with was staying motivated. It felt like an emotional roller coaster.
I would procrastinate tasks like sending a simple email and any setback would be proof for my inner-critic.
I am grateful for the lessons I learned along the way, but I also know it didn’t have to be so hard.
That’s why I created this 6 month coaching program—
I’ll share the social impact frameworks and business tools, alongside the lessons I learned from my own experience
I’ll hold space for you to do the inner work necessary to birth something so personal into the world.
Your social impact venture will have the foundation needed to weather the storm.
And you will have done the inner work necessary to stand in your truth.
By the end of the 6 months, my goal is that you are making an impact in the world, and feel lighter doing it.
Because this is sacred work.
