Speaking

What Audience Members Are Saying:

“After weeks of feeling numb and a deep sadness, this dialogue saved me! Finally, someone was able to articulate how I’ve been feeling and how “we” got here!  Farah was ABSOLUTELY amazing. The way she delivered the messages and explained how certain behaviors shows up in work place was so earth shattering!  I was looking so forward to this conversation and I plan to listen to it again. I hope we can find a way to bring Farah back. Two hours was just not enough and I don’t think enough people heard this message.  Farah, thank you for taking the time to help us move towards a place of healing and reconciliation.”

“I was very fortunate to attend Farah’s virtual presentation. She’s awesome! There were so many jewels throughout the discussion. Personally, I really enjoyed the different tips on how to address mental health.“

– D.B Associate, CIBC

“This topic above all is one of my favorites that I have attended. Emotional intelligence does not really get talked about in construction-therefore it was a way to bring attention to the way we react to situations. This was a great topic.  The speaker was phenomenal.”

– Karina G, CFMA Attendee

“Farah’s presentation was amazing!  I’ve been processing because of course I learned new things. Right at the beginning she said she was going to be talking to our Black team members and encouraged the rest of us to LISTEN. It was such a blessing to get to hear Farah and the comments from colleagues and how open and vulnerable everyone was. I swear I got teary eyed multiple times during those 2 hours that were over way too fast.”

– Courtney, CIBC Attendee

“This was honestly one of the best sessions I have ever attended in my professional career. Thank you for being so bold, authentic and empathetic. I will be sharing the playback link and reference materials with my business partners here for sure.”

– K.McLarty, CIBC

“Farah is a better instructor than a lot of professors I know. Her delivery and attentiveness to the audience is really unique. I walked away with new knowledge after her presentation on grief. I was truly inspired.”

– Keshia H

“Farah did an amazing job. I was trying to capture everything that she shared. I even asked if she could forward the seven items that she mentioned. I really appreciated her comments about staying in your lane, collaborations, take time for your best self and more. Her presentation was relevant for me right now in all aspects of my life. I felt totally INSPIRED and REJUVENATED!!!!”

– Kathleen J

“Thank you, Farah for your presentation to NOAA! The content is incredibly timely as we all work better to build up our emotional skills in our virtual environment. Your presentation style was engaging and fun! Not an easy lift over webinar 🙂 particularly liked that you provided specific EQ exercises that we can use to practice what we discussed. I’m looking forward to sharing with my team

“I must tell you that I was hesitant to participate because for some reason I saw this as something for the career minded and right now I’m lukewarm to my career. I’m continuing to do my job to the best of my ability and overall I still like what I do but I think performance reviews and wanting to climb the corporate ladder aren’t really a priority for me now so when I agreed to listen in I saw it as just being supportive … but I really enjoyed Farah’s 7 steps because it made me think about my overall life and how I could become a better version of myself. Farah’s presentation felt genuine and she did great with making her audience feel as if she were just talking to them. She seemed very confident in and comfortable with what she was talking about.”

– Cynthia F

“Oh my goodness, Farah is incredible and definitely made a wonderful impact! A few of us stayed after and had a small chat based on what she’d gone through thus far. But folks are yearning for more! I have a great deal of notes. That presentation was a blessing in many folks lives today and I don’t want her to underestimate the power and magnitude of her energy. Someone left more aware, more awakened and better able to lead their lives. Namely me! It was my pleasure to participate and I look forward for future presentations!”

– T W

“Not even an hour to spare during my busy work day I was hesitant to dial-in to hear Farah’s interactive therapy session about ‘Reclaiming My Time’. During the hour session, Farah provided helpful tips, suggestions, (including a stress relieving breathing exercise) and small goals in which I found helpful to put into use during my work day. In the session I felt comfortable, willing to open, and participate…because it felt good to hear ‘everyday’ women discussing life challenges and Farah offering a welcoming, yet directional healing, tone throughout. By the end of the 1 hour session I was wishing it went longer and definitely worth my time!”
