Team reflections


All the work that we do at enpact is made possible through your support as our community, and through the passion and dedication of our enpactors around the world. We cannot talk about our impact without talking about the people who dedicate the most part of their days to making it happen. Get to know the people behind the projects with some of their tips and reflections.

What is your impact-driven morning routine?

My morning routine and approach to organizing my workday are centered around listening to my body and energy levels. When I wake up, I assess how I’m feeling and label my day as either high energy, medium energy, or low energy. I believe that we feel different each day, so there isn’t a one-size-fits-all routine. On high-energy days, I tackle bulky and demanding tasks, making the most of my productivity and enthusiasm. On medium-energy days, I focus on regular tasks that require steady effort On low-energy days, I prioritize self-care and activities that make me feel good. I think this “flexible approach” allows me to stay productive while also taking care of my well-being. – Menna Sheba

What is your impact-driven morning routine?

As a novelty-driven personality, I need a regular change of the scene and activity to stay productive and efficient. First of all I need some fuel in the form of good breakfast. I usually don’t talk before 10am and do the organizational work till then. I like to alternate mental work with physical activities, so when I feel I’m stuck
with my task, I get up and water the plants, stretch or organize the space around me. It helps me to refresh and often to come up with a new perspective. – Hanna Starchyk

Why do we do what we do?

The opportunity to deliver real changes to the economy of my region and help develop entrepreneurship, make it more powerful inspired me to join the project team. Those first results from the creation of participants community, their communication, their common interests and aspirations motivate me to follow my chosen path, promoting and supporting changes in the local business environment. – Bohdan Goncharuk

Why do we do what we do?

They say one secret to a content life is finding something that motivates you to wake up every morning. For me, working with young entrepreneurs and highlighting the impact they can bring from Egypt to the world is that motivation. It makes me grateful for being part of enpact every day and for feeling content all the way long. Our societies, as emerging economies, yearn for innovative minds to change the game of economic development. Given the uncertainties and current challenges, I believe that it takes immense courage for entrepreneurs to build
impact-driven businesses under such circumstances. This is why I feel honored to empower these changemakers to make a difference through their entrepreneurial journeys. While I’ve lost count of the number of entrepreneurs I met throughout
my time with enpact, I will always remember how each one left me inspired by their work and motivated me to do mine. – Noha Hussein

With the right resources in place and all the planets in alignment, what would be our Dream Project?

My dream project targets Nicaragua (my homeland) or Central America, focusing
on renewable energy and internet coverage. Central America has abundant untapped renewable resources like wind, hydropower, and geothermal energy from volcanic activity. Rural internet access is limited due to centralization around capital cities, and improving it can enhance education and knowledge
access, as seen during the pandemic. The project would use enpact’s strategies
to support innovation through pre-incubation, incubation, and acceleration. Over one to three cohorts, enpact would help young teams develop marketable and localized solutions for these critical sectors, promoting sustainable development and technological progress in the region. – Sergio Rakotozafy

With the right resources in place and all the planets in alignment, what would be our Dream Project?

Having previously worked for a Chamber of Commerce, I am very curious to promote the important role of chambers and business associations in the development of entrepreneurship. As a believer in European integration, I would want to implement a project that supports candidate countries for EU membership in their path into the EU. As a lawyer, I dream about a project that supports entrepreneurs in understanding standards and trade regulations for a
more just and inclusive market. If you have read our annual report carefully, you will see that some dreams do come true – so it’s not a matter of if we get to do this, but when! – Simon Wendelin Burger
