Our mission is to cultivate conscious leaders who create value, inspire innovation and shape a more compassionate world.
I’m Farah Govani, founder of Govani Coaching, a global agency for executive coaching dedicated to cultivating conscious leaders. I lead a global team of exceptional associate coaches, carefully selected for their talent, values and passion for developing others.
Our approach uniquely combines leadership development, a foundation of mindfulness and world-class programme management skills—a blend cultivated through my experience at formidable institutions like Goldman Sachs, BlackRock and PwC. We offer coaching in English, Spanish, French and Mandarin.
We partner closely with client sponsors to understand their strategies and goals. Unlike large agencies that use database matching or AI, I personally know each team member’s strengths and experiences. This allows me to match coaches precisely to each client, ensuring powerful outcomes.
Our Unique Approach: The Mindful Advantage
Each of us has a committed mindfulness practice. We believe it is fundamental to exceptional coaching, shaping how we listen and respond. While not always explicitly part of our coaching sessions, this mindful foundation enables deeper awareness and more impactful outcomes. For example:
-
Deep presence
Our coaches focus entirely on their client and the coaching space, free from distractions. This mindful presence helps them notice subtle clues like unspoken words, body language shifts and underlying emotions, which, when reflected back, lead to deeper insights.
-
Courage in silence
We're comfortable with pauses, allowing breakthrough insights to emerge.
-
Emotional anchoring
In turbulent times, we're your calm in the storm, allowing for clients’ strong emotions and unwanted experiences to be skilfully held with compassion.
-
Heightened self-awareness
Mindfulness deepens our coaches’ understanding of their own limitations and biases, leading to more ethical and effective coaching relationships.
