About

Motivational Speaker

Meet Fa’izah.

I specialize in helping others to identify and reach their maximum potential in leadership and mission. I am gifted in meeting individuals and groups where they are, and tactfully challenging their growth areas in order to build on their strengths.

During my nearly eighteen years working in the corporate sector, I sustained several company mergers and acquisitions. Through my ability to remain flexible and resilient, I have been recognized as a change agent, assisting others in the stewardship of productive change. A moral imperative for inclusion, diversity, racial equity, and educational excellence compelled me to transition to the public and non-profit sectors. There, I have led departments, districts, and organizations in cultivating culture, climate, and conditions that attract and retain a diverse and high-quality workforce, center historically marginalized voices, foster innovation, and maximize outcomes beyond outputs.

As a skilled and results-based facilitator, I keep groups to the task at hand, while identifying and balancing the need for collective engagement that honors non-dominant culture. A frequently sought-after presenter and keynote speaker, audiences find me to be highly engaging and compelling, with a natural and appropriate levity.

I am looking forward to working with you.

In Partnership,

“I have known Fa’izah for over ten years and have had the opportunity to work on several projects with her, where I have gleaned valuable leadership insights and priceless inspiration. I have experienced both direct and indirect professional benefits from her outstanding systems thinking and equity-focused coaching lens." 

-Trise Moore, Senior Consultant; The Family Outreach & Engagement Network

Many educational leaders seek out Fa'izah's expertise in leadership development. I, personally, have grown as an inaugural leader in my field because of her coaching, specifically around how to embed equitable and anti-racist practices into my vision and strategic planning."
