Farai with a bushy beard, smiling

Peace! I'm Farai.

I'll show you how to have High Impact 1:1 meetings and career conversations.

Coaching

I work with new and emerging leaders around the world to increase their people leadership skillset and develop effective, inclusive practices that make them better at people stuff.

Speaking

I speak around the world and online. These days I'm focussed on talking about working effectively in multicultural teams. If you’d like me to speak at a public or private event, catch me on farai (at) pixelup.co.za.
