Farah dreams big, flies high, plays brave, attempts impossible and delivers awesomeness, every single time. We have co- designed, co- facilitated and co-evolved. Farah’s passion and vibrance is awe inspiring. What I admire most about her is her non - judgmental and courageous being. Whenever she holds a coaching space for me, her BEING simply dissolves my challenge and I can see self, others and possibilities in a very different light. She is magic.

Manisha Grover

Chief Consultant at P.A.C.E.

Farah is a professional who naturally manages to make you feel at ease. She is emphatic while simultaneously encouraging and challenging you to find your own answers. Sessions with Farah are an eye opener. She guides you to places you were too scared to visit before and she is an excellent companion in the journey to self-rediscovery. With Farah’s help I have started remembering a few things about myself that I had almost forgotten. Her approach is totally non-judgmental and the sessions are really focused on you and on what you want to achieve. I certainly intend to attend more in the near future!

Nassira Ahamed

Co-Founder at Globex

I had the opportunity to be mentored by Farah in 2020. I was going through a grind and was not able to see the end of the tunnel despite my best efforts. I still remember vividly how we started off and all the beautiful processes she took me through. I have since then incorporated many beautiful rituals in my life. When I’m stuck, I still go back to the powerful questions she put forth for me. Beyond the processes and rituals, I consider it a sheer blessing to have associated with some one so down to earth and authentic. Thank you for being you! My sincere gratitude.

Nisha Safeer

Watermelon Global, Learning Strategist | Entrepreneur

When I met Farah, I had reached a point in my life where I was struggling to find a way to explore my future path. After working with Farah, I was able to connect with myself, imagine possibilities and discover a path to move forward with courage. Farah’s skills as a facilitator and coach supported me individually so I could dream, challenge myself, be honest and be vulnerable. The path I carved has led to to prepare for a different phase in my life. I am truly grateful for this opportunity to be part of the Courage to Soar Program

Amanda Stott

Business Owner , UK

I had a Courage breakthrough session with Farah in April 2022. She understood my needs and guided me towards achieving my goals. I have taken action and implemented what I learnt and have grown professionally and financially in the last one year. I follow her on LinkedIn which also helped me gain newer perspectives and clarity. Her coaching helped me face my internal demons and overcome them to reach the next level of success. I've committed to implement the learnings and grow 10X in the coming 1 year. Courage, Commitment to goals, Persistence, and Focus are the four words to success. If you are stuck in your career or want to grow to the next level, I highly recommend Farah's coaching. I highly recommend Farah's coaching. Thank you Farah for sharing so generously and for your support.

Dhiman Bhattacharyya

Expert Writer, Editor, Strategist, Marketer

Working with Farah over six months was really a life changing and amazing journey. It changed my insight and now I strongly believe that I can do anything if I commit to do it. I am a ‘possibilitarian’ and the biggest shift I have experienced is in my mindset. I can do what I put my mind to and have developed self-love. I have attracted some incredible opportunities and had some amazing wins. A big breakthrough I experienced was that I could speak with full confidence in global forums and I hosted one global meeting and it was well appreciated by my manager and other leaders. Another breakthrough is I found my rackets which I used to justify why I am not enough. I could also find my strengths. Farah is truly an inspiring and life changing coach and she not only helps you to overcome your fears and self limiting beliefs but also helps you deep dive to unlock the inner potential. I’m really excited about leaning into my gifts. I am truly blessed to have Farah as my coach and thankful for everything she taught me.

Santosha Kadam

Regional Leader, India

Farah is an incredible force - she is experienced, positive, empathetic and courageous. She leads by example. I attended her Women's Leadership Programme called 'Courage to Soar'. The program, not only helped me tap into my innate strengths, courage and resilience but also helped me create a vision for my future that inspires me. Further, through this programme, I got access to one-on-one coaching with Farah. My biggest breakthroughs were (a) overcoming my tendency to doubt myself, (b) creative problem solving, (c) relooking at the negative stories I created in my mind about situations and people, (d) practising self-compassion.She was never directive in her approach. She asked the right questions, which helped me explore my problems/concerns in different ways and then solving them became easy. She saw the best in me and brought it out!

Divya Nandakumar

Leadership Coach at Jeetva Leadership Academy

Strong will, dedicated , high energy, full of life, huge self-esteem - this is how I would like to describe Farah. Participating in the "Courage To Soar " program in June, 2020 was one of my eye opener. The program had made me build more confidence in believing that I could contribute a lot towards women empowerment. It was so encouraging to learn and grow together. "Courage To Soar" program had brought clarity to my future vision . It had helped me in exercising more of self expression. Ultimately, as I accepted myself capable to soar, I have found a sense of inner peace.Thank you so much Farah for all your support and efforts you had put into the program. If anybody is looking out there for a helping hand to soar towards your dreams "Courage To Soar" program is definitely the one you should consider.

Bijayalakshmi Sagolsem

Lead Software Engineer at Siemens Healthineers

I had the privilege to participate in one of Farah's Integral Leadership programmes earlier this year and it was truly inspirational. Having both participated in and developed leadership programmes myself, I was particularly impressed with Farah's unique ability to create a safe learning environment for increased impact. Being vulnerable was a key success marker. Being supported was at the core of the programme. Through her expertise and flawless execution, Farah has created a strong and long lasting community of women supporting women.

Farah's dedication to our cohort at Leap.club was phenomenal. As my exec coach, she was empathetic, supportive and super encouraging. She brings in so much positivity and a sense of calmness in every conversation. It's been a pleasure to know Farah and learn from her. She is an inspiration to all, especially to women, who are aspiring to find themselves or as she says it 'find their water' 🙂

Rachita Pandya Shah

Her ways of facilitation during the entire workshop makes people feel so comfortable to open up with one another and have meaningful dialogues. The natural flow of her thoughts, her flawless way of introducing ideas and her graceful postures make facilitation look so easy and effortless. Farah is truly a very gifted facilitator and trainer who brings her participants tremendous benefits by keeping them focused, inspired and motivated during her session.

The processes such as ORID, unhurried conversations, world cafe left a lasting impact. Thanks Farah for a wonderful session. Looking forward to more.

Monali Ringe

Sr. Manager HR Excellence at Rieter India Pvt. Ltd

I have been privy to two of Farah's sessions over a period of 18 months. Farah's innovativeness is as diverse as the craft and guile with which she manages her sessions. Over two of her 3-day sessions I can now safely say that my knowledge and skill set to apply complex realms of management like leadership and feedback have developed immensely, and that the ideas behind teaching me these concepts are some that I'll never forget. Overall, I would highly recommend Farah's sessions to anyone in the professional world at any level of work.

Arjun Bolangdy

I attended training by Farah on Intercultural Sensitivity Program. She is full of humor to make everyone attended during the training. This course helped me a lot while travelling across middle east and west as well. It helped me to explore my own culture and breaking down the barrier with other cultures than Indian by understanding them. This helped me to build trust with them by changing the way I behave and interpret their actions/words. In one line I can say that this has improved me a lot personally and professionally.

I had an opportunity to experience presentation coaching from Farah in a group of 10. It was amazing how she could get the entire group engaged fairly quickly, built a rapport with all and took us through an effective session where everyone felt comfortable, open and confident enough to share their "fears" and stories of making a presentation. Overall, her approach was very methodical (bringing out the simple ways to lift up ones delivery style) yet so effective (that all could apply and appreciate)

Varun Grover

Operations Manager, Store Operations at Delivery Hero

I had worked with Farah at an early stage of my career. It was very motivating to see the way Farah used to make things work and her objective every time used to be the same that is "the job needs to be done successfully". i used to see her set the end result and then work backwards which used to ensure her success. She was an excellent co-worker and I am sure later whoever has worked with her has also been benifited by her strengths

Monique Alfris

Cofounder, POLLINATE GROUP

For someone who never been across the portals of management institutes, people I have worked with have been the source of my continuing management education. I have been fortunate, in my career, to have worked along side/ under several professionals who I look up to for my lessons and continue to be part of my regular "Course refresh". Farah was my first real "Boss / Mentor" during my days at IBC (now Ion Ideas Inc). Even though we were working for a reasonably sized corporation, Farah brought into her role rare sense of ownership and operated as though she owned the business. This trait I believe underlines her personality and ensures her success in endeavors she lends her name to. She brings to the table loads of passion, poise & charisma and an ability to defuse difficult situation with her special brand of humor. Thank you Farah!

Raj Menon

Eloquent, clear, persuasive, interesting, always captures the interest and fires the imagination of listeners. Comfortable in any situation, even when speaking unprepared and without notes.Farah is one of the most professional people and a great joy to work closely with.

Kavitha Garla

Business Development Consultant | Moderator/Anchor I Coach

I have worked with Farah and hired Farah for multiple projects. Why? Because she is so talented, experienced, and wise. She can train, facilitate, and coach...as the moment requires. Several times she found herself with a new topic, group, or situation. Deftly and easily she adjusted as if the change was planned. That's how good she is. Farah is one of the most talented coaches and facilitators I have ever worked with. Companies and groups see such a positive impact they continually request her. I highly recommend Farah Ismail.

Greg Zlevor

President at Westwood Int’l, Founder of HopeMaker’s Collective

My first interaction with Farah was in 2017, when I learnt about the IAF and subsequently, she volunteered to help me frame a workshop I was designing. Her passion and dedication towards Coaching and Facilitation have grown manifold since that first meeting as she has deepened her knowledge and experience in these fields. During our professional collaborations, Farah has shown agility and adaptability to suit the changing needs of the group. From workshops on Building Trust, Mapping & Building Your Professional Network, PATH workshops to one-on-one feedback on our Facilitation designs, Farah has proven to be an amazing Partner for Decathlon. She strives to understand you and your needs from the first meeting (a sign of a good Coach) and delivers beyond her scope of work each time. I am happy to call Farah a professional partner, a mentor and a friend. I look forward to a continued relationship with her and will certainly recommend her in the spaces of Coaching, Facilitation, Group Work, Leadership Development and Empowerment.

My career journey has always felt more than just the corporate world. Because, it has always been intertwined with my life experiences, my family, and my own ‘self’. And when my aspirations to lead collided with motherhood, I found myself searching for guidance and coaching which didn’t dissect my executive life from the rest of my life. The Integral Growth program delivered this and more. It gave me confidence to lead in the corporate world as a women, as a mother, but most important as authentically me.

Farah is exceptionally humble and a warm person but at the same time some one who speaks her mind. During the SHEfest , a virtual event conducted by SHEmantra community , a community of women coaches, trainers, consultants, counsellors, entrepreneurs and therapists, Farah did a session on Setting personal and professional boundaries. She was simply par excellence .It was one of the best sessions I enjoyed in the entire fest. She is not just a coach with a mastery over her area of expertise but a fantabulous speaker. I recommend her to professional women wanting to work with a coach to rise and shine in their career.

Aditi Prakash

#Farahisremarkable - This pretty much sums up who Farah is to me. She makes my heart happy. She radiates so much of love, positivity and energy onscreen, I am sure a physical meeting will be the icing on the cake. I met Farah at a brief session she had during the SHEMantra fest. And now she facilitates a lot of "give back to community" workshops on #IamREMARKABLE.

I was blessed to have the opportunity to attend my first #IamREMARKABLE workshop and within 90+ minutes I made more friends. She facilitates these workshops with so much of love, care, concern and commitment that it transforms you. It helps you shift from an area of self-pity to an area of being in control of everything in your life. It is a must recommended workshop. Gift yourself these 90 minutes with Farah and you will never regret it. Thank you Farah for being YOU. I am blessed to have you in my life.

I admire her for the bold steps she takes and is her best whatever she undertakes. Huge respect for her. I recommend her as a Coach for anyone who dares to dream but is intimidated by the path and hence does not. Farah can seamlessly empower you to achieve your dreams

RISE, a transformative journey has been an extraordinary experience, defined not by individuals, but by the incredible impact it has had on our Cambridge University Press & Assessment community. A pivotal force in this journey was the expertise of our facilitator, Farah Ismail. Her guidance and skillful facilitation were instrumental in shaping these immersive sessions. Farah's ability to inspire and challenge us left an indelible mark on our R.I.S.E. experience. Along with the innovative thinking, EDIB (Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging) was resonated in the way we interacted, fostering an environment where diverse voices were not just heard but celebrated.

As we move forward, R.I.S.E. remains a symbol of our unwavering commitment to continuous growth and excellence. The impact has been profound, and I eagerly await the ongoing transformations that lie ahead.

I got to attend a deep, enlightening session by Farah Ismail. She reflected on how simple steps can make us unleash the power of Inspired Actions. Inspired action is purposeful, passion-driven steps guided by intuition and creativity. It aligns with our goals, fuels enthusiasm, and empowers us to overcome obstacles with confidence and resilience. But as we widen the gap between inspiration and action.
