Farah Mihoubi
Owner, 360 Degree Consulting, M.S., Graduate Wharton School of Business, Certified MBTI Practitioner
Farah’s company provides consulting and workshops on a variety of personal and relationship betterment topics. She also has an M.S. in Consumer Economics and an undergraduate degree in Economics (Marketing/Consumer Behavior) from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business.
A Certified MBTI® Practitioner, Farah uses a variety of interdisciplinary tools to help individuals find clarity, self-awareness and authenticity in their lives, as well as practical and customized solutions for their lives, relationships and careers. She then helps her clients showcase their innate talents and skills, to create a life that is fulfilling, satisfying, authentic, and congruent with the essence of who they really are. In her consulting work, she creatively and fully utilizes her own core competencies: her passion and enthusiasm for understanding people, her love of problem-solving, her tenacity as a researcher in her role as a life-long seeker of learning and growth, and her tireless devotion to analysis and synthesis of information to assist in personal and relationship betterment.
Farah Mihoubi brings her lifelong understanding of consumer behavior and behavioral economics (the why of consumers) to the business of becoming a successful entrepreneur. She comes from a long line of entrepreneurs and feels inspired by her innovative and forward-thinking grandfather who created a (now-multinational) holistic herbal healthcare company from scratch in the 1920’s, long before any kind of mind-body holistic thinking was even on the scene.
For almost a decade, Farah created, researched and wrote innovative teaching materials for future managers at a top-ten business school, some of which have been used at leading business schools around the country. She infused this curriculum with a dose of social responsibility and ethics-based leadership, hopefully influencing managers to realize that “doing well by doing good” is a viable possibility. She has also worked in the non-profit world in the field of financial literacy and consumer education. For more information: http://www.360dconsulting.com

“I have been participating in one of (Marie’s) Mastermind Networking Groups for some time now and have been extremely impressed with not only the quality of the contacts I have made but also with the spirit and professionalism of the group. It is by far one of the best-managed groups I have ever participated in. I highly recommend CSC’s services to anyone.”
