This is my story

Hi there! I’m Farah, a Leadership Coach dedicated to helping high-achieving individuals navigate transitions and unlock their full potential. Whether you’re aiming for a career pivot, accelerating your growth at work, or discovering your true passion and purpose, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

I’ve had the privilege of coaching individuals through various stages of their leadership journey, from individual contributors to managers, managers to leaders, and leaders to senior executives. With a strong passion for cultivating exceptional leadership and igniting organizational success, I am committed to helping leaders develop essential skills, overcome challenges, make tough decisions, and inspire high-performing teams.

With over 20 years of business experience, including more than 15 years in Human Resources, I’ve worked with senior executives at renowned companies like Pepsico, Gap, Tesla, Meta (Facebook), and Plaid. My career path has been anything but linear. Embracing the power of career transitions, I’ve journeyed from Graphic Design to Recruiting and Human Resources. These diverse experiences have broadened my perspective and equipped me with the unique ability to thrive in various environments and pursue work that I genuinely enjoy.

My clients often face challenges such as unlocking their team’s potential, crafting and communicating a compelling vision, and finding a balance between work and personal life to live fulfilling and purposeful lives. I help leaders enhance their decision-making skills, identify and address their blind spots, and develop strategies to foster resilience within their teams.

While I haven’t seen it all, I’ve experienced a lot and I’m here to help you navigate the complex corporate world with intention and purpose. I thrive on transforming ideas into reality and helping you achieve your goals. We’ll get things done, but we’ll also enjoy the journey. Fun is a crucial part of our process, balanced with a focused intensity to help you gain the traction you need. Your aspirations for life and career are entirely within reach. I’ve experienced this transformation firsthand and have guided many others through their journeys to success.

Let’s make your goals a reality together!

My Coaching Approach

In my coaching, I utilize a deep understanding of neuroscience and its relationship with leadership to explore how leaders can optimize their cognitive processes, develop emotional intelligence, communicate effectively, manage stress and anxiety, and make better decisions. I place great importance on fostering authentic relationships where leaders can openly explore their strengths, opportunities, and blind spots. By fearlessly addressing areas of improvement and offering practical strategies to expand awareness and unlock untapped potential, I help individuals achieve results that impact business and team performance, as well as experience greater personal fulfillment. My method of coaching is focused on leading with awareness, purpose, and action.
