BIOGRAPHY
Yasmina Ellins is the secret weapon behind some of the world’s most visionary leaders, artists, and impact-driven innovators. With laser-sharp intuition and disarming presence, she guides them to grow their wealth, expand their influence, and create a life that feels like magic.
She wasn’t born magnetic. Once a painfully shy girl who hid in the library to avoid speaking to her classmates, Yasmina Ellins spent years trying to figure out how to belong. She tried all kinds of things to feel seen — learning the Rubik’s cube, becoming a magician. Nothing worked. But everything changed at sixteen when she typed “how to get charisma” into Google. That moment sparked a lifelong journey of transformation — and a mission to help others feel the connection she once craved.
Today, Yasmina is a Cambridge University graduate, sought-after TEDx speaker, bestselling co-author with the Founder of Reebok, and co-creator of the Maverick NEXT Impact Award, which brought rising entrepreneurs to Sir Richard Branson’s private island for mentorship with global business icons.
Beyond business, Yasmina is a creative at heart. A classically trained musician from the Royal College of Music, she has performed at the Pantheon in Rome and live on BBC Radio. She has a deep love for acting, improv comedy, bachata dancing and storytelling — and writes songs, poetry and prose to capture the human experience. She’s learned 8 languages and loves to travel the world to connect with different cultures — everything from living with nuns in Italy to dining with royalty in the Palace of Versailles.
Whether through music, movement, or meaningful relationships, Yasmina believes connection is the true catalyst for limitless impact.
Mission
To inspire 8 billion people to wake up each day feeling,
“I’m living my most magical life.”
A life fuelled by love, pure joy, wonder, and bold devotion to their dreams.
Yasmina is the pioneer of Exponential Relationships™ — a global shift in how visionary leaders rise — not through hustle or hard-selling, but through magnetic presence, soul-aligned connection, and deep relational mastery. Imagine a world where your energy opens doors, where trust accelerates success, and where the right relationships don’t just support your vision — they multiply it.
A master of high-trust connection, Yasmina has spent over a decade decoding what creates magnetic relationships across cultures, industries, and consciousness levels.
Her methodology draws from deep immersion in precision human dynamics (as a founding partner of a neuro-communication company), performance and charisma (as a trained actor and musician), evolutionary psychology, and spiritual alignment.
And the results speak for themselves: A visionary performed live on Sir Richard Branson’s Necker Island, a filmmaker landed an Oscar-winning mentor, an entrepreneur built a relationship with a national Chief of Defense, a leader forged ties with an African queen, and a tech founder transformed from battling suicide to building a thriving, loving community. Her clients don’t “network” — they become living magnets for their dream lives.
She’s been called a vortex, a social oracle, and a secret weapon. But one phrase tends to stick:
Yasmina is your Cosmic Wingwoman to your most magical life.
Yasmina operates at the intersection of wealth, love, leadership, and legacy.
Her work lives where business brilliance meets soul-aligned strategy — and delivers tangible, exponential results.
Expertise
- Cultivating high-trust, high-impact communities
- Magnetic personal brand positioning for visionary leaders
- Strategic introductions + social ecosystem design
- Turning aligned connection into meaningful collaboration (never transactional)
- Energetic amplification for elevated leadership presence
As a cosmic wingwoman, Yasmina is part strategist, part vibe architect, part intuitive deal-accelerator.
She’s the silent force behind bold visionaries who want to be fully seen — and powerfully supported.
People come to her when they’re ready to stop chasing — and start attracting everything aligned with their highest vision.
As former President of Maverick NEXT, Yasmina built a global network of ambitious young entrepreneurs, connecting them with seven-to-nine-figure mentors and co-creating the Maverick NEXT Impact Award — an initiative that brought rising changemakers to Sir Richard Branson’s Necker Island for transformative leadership experiences. As part of the award, her group collaborated on local community projects in the British Virgin Islands, supporting initiatives around mosquito prevention, clean water access, and sustainable waste solutions.

Today, she serves as a Venture Scout for EWOR, where she helps identify and amplify breakthrough ventures tackling the world’s most pressing problems. Known for her ability to spot brilliance and build powerful alliances, she bridges the gap between visionary founders, funders, and high-impact opportunities.
A dedicated vegan since the age of 18, Yasmina served as President of the Cambridge University Vegan Society, where she spearheaded campaigns for sustainable food systems and plant-based awareness. Her lifestyle reflects her values — she practices daily meditation, yoga, energy healing, and mindfulness as a foundation for wellbeing and purpose-led leadership.
Her service work extends beyond boardrooms and summits. Yasmina has volunteered in elderly care homes — offering companionship, listening to stories, and performing piano concerts to lift spirits. She’s worked with children with special needs, supported fundraising efforts for refugees through the National Citizen Service (NCS), and volunteered with the Spinal Injuries Association.

An Academic Powerhouse
Yasmina’s academic journey spans four elite universities, holding a Masters of the Arts from Cambridge University (her Hogwarts) and a Masters of Science from Imperial College Business School, where she studied Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Management.
Having studied 10 languages (learning five fluently), Yasmina’s linguistic curiosity has taken her across cultures and continents. She’s debated in Spanish, performed improv in French in Paris, and earned 100% analyzing Shakespeare in Italian at Bologna University while living with nuns in Italy.
Language, for Yasmina, is more than communication — it’s a tool to understand and bridge diverse perspectives.
