/ OUR TEAM

Having lived across continents in Singapore, Australia and Middle East, and worked in the oil and gas, trade finance and multiple commodities sectors, Farhann deeply believes that business is more than a transaction, it is a relationship.

As an enabler in catalyzing growth and a life long learner, he invests as much time in increasing his own capacity and capabilities as well as that of his client partners. With a Masters of Science in Innovation and Masters in Tri-Sectorial Collaboration, he shares fresh perspectives on multi-modal thinking for new times in the areas of design thinking, tri-sectorial thinking and futures thinking to strengthen organizational resilience and sustainability.

Leadership is transformative work and results take practice. As a practitioner, he applies coaching and systemic thinking within his own organization to hone the Heartset, Skillset and Mindset of his team and partners.

It is through witnessing first hand the impact of systemic coaching in his own life that he decided to bring this to APAC so that more people would be able to access these tools to ripple impact in their own communities and organization.

Elf Coaching is currently CRR Global's Global Alliance Partner for Singapore & Malaysia, Philippines, Australia and New Zealand for an ICF Accredited Programme called Organisational & Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC).
