Farah Hussain Executive Coach in black shirt on black background smiling.

Hi, I'm Farah.

Executive Coach & former Fortune 200 Director

As one of few women of color in director+ roles in tech, I had a reputation for "making anything possible." I now empower executive women of color to do the impossible.

Using my signature framework, my “gentle yet tough” coaching style (as my clients like to say) allows leaders to explore their desire for change, remove internal barriers to action, and strengthen their ability to have a massive impact by acting with intention -- even in tough environments.

I have nearly two decades of global corporate experience, including a decade of advancing quickly at fintech leader PayPal through a spin-off, IPO, industry highs, and industry lows. I also hold multiple coaching certifications, and believe in continuous learning. 

My vision is to make the world a better place through oneness and transformation. That starts with supporting women like you.

"After working with Farah, I realized coaching is crucial for achieving my goals. She helped me align my personal and professional values, and provided me with the tools to manage emotions while applying my values to my leadership and everyday life. Working with Farah allowed me to stay true to my beliefs. It required me to reflect deeply and be vulnerable, which was new to me, but her supportive approach helped me to build trust in her methods. I’m grateful for her help in understanding and developing a path that aligns with a well-thought-out vision of success. Farah plays a critical role in my success."

-Shmeka Jones, Chief of Staff, Healthcare

"Farah has a gift of listening with intention and adapting in the moment to support my growth. I came to coaching focused on external perceptions of my leadership. Through skillful questioning, Farah helped me realize that I don't need to work harder, appear more confident, learn a specific skill, or get another credential. Instead, I need to search for direction and feedback internally. I can now see patterns and make decisions about how to tap into different aspects of myself. I center myself rather than try to fit into the environment."

- Malia Xie

-Founder & Product Leader, Maryland

"Farah is both very thoughtful and a very good listener and really caters her approach to your needs. I say that based on my unique situation and particularly hard experiences in the past. In a short period of time, she truly helped me with building confidence and attaining clarity in representing who I am and embracing my gifts in science unapologetically, especially in environments where people are intimidated by my pedigree and have been unsupportive in multiple circumstances."

- J. Asad, Integrated Health System Strategy

"I found coaching sessions with Farah to be truly worth it.

She helped me discover my own techniques that I can tap into. Each time I'm able to practice these tools, I feel more confident and quite unstoppable."

- Evelyn P., Business Strategist, Philadelphia

But I quickly found that if I was open to the process and walked through the thought exercises with her I was ultimately able to view situations in a different light. The impact and results the coaching sessions have had on my growth as a leader and the business as a whole are nothing short of monumental and undeniable.

-Richard S., Series A Founder/CEO

"Farah was kind, consistent and extremely helpful in not only opening my eyes to new ideas but also helping me think outside the box to put myself promptly in the driver seat to accomplish the goals of the company as a whole. Morale has improved and a lot of insight was gained along the way to help me become a better, more balanced leader."

-Steven, Co-Founder and COO of Hazlnut

"Working with Farah helped me clarify my priorities and focus on what really matters to me.

- N. Akbar, M.S.W.

"While I entered into the coaching relationship with Farah with a singular goal, she asked the right kind of questions that helped me gain some important insight into myself and my own motivations. She helped me have several 'lightbulb' moments, pushed me in a very kind way, and motivated me to just be better. I'm incredibly grateful for her time and efforts."

- Amanda Z., Chicago
