The Vision
We believe that when people connect with their Vision and act intentionally towards it, they become their best selves, live in their full potential and thus transform the world around them. A true connection with our Vision unlocks and unleashes possibilities.
VisionVenture facilitates this process through massive doses of inspiration and a toolkit to make it happen.
The Vision Conversation is our platform to support bringing Visions to life.

Our Story
Kristin and Fernanda met as teenagers 30 years ago in Oregon, when Fernanda was an exchange student from Brazil. Kristin was just about to leave her hometown of Salem, Oregon for South Africa for her own exchange year abroad.
They became fast and adoring friends, but then lost touch for nearly three decades. During that time, Kristin and Fernanda were living in different places around the world and became leaders in their respective careers of social enterprise and advertising. The two finally reconnected when Fernanda was combing through Ashoka profiles for potential investments and recognized the face of her long-lost friend from Oregon.
The two globe-trotters finally met up and shortly after, decided together to combine their superpowers to start a global conversation and create a platform around Vision. Together they have started the TheVisionConversation.com. Kristin is the Chief Visionary, inspiring the power of Vision through her talks and leading energizing VisionBoost workshops, while Fernanda is VisionVenture’s Chief Strategist with the ideas and action plan for making The Vision Conversation happen.

Our recent VisionBoost workshop engaged our employees outside of their daily roles and deepened loyalty to our company by showing an investment in their personal and professional development.
The Vision Team engaged our employees’ hearts and minds. Over the course of an hour, our team learned about vision and intentions, both in and out of the work place. I highly recommend this workshop for a corporate setting.
Our employees have been raving about the workshop and I myself have new clarity on my own personal vision!

Thoughts On Vision
Make it Real
Bold Vision starts as a powerful internal process.
It begins by listening to your heart’s desire and then imagining that possibility for yourself in the quiet of your mind.
Once you have that Vision and you are ready to make it happen, you have to move it from your mind and put it out into the world.
