Fatema Al Tahoo

Manama, Bahrain

Executive and agile leadership coach; President, ICF Bahrain Chapter 2026–2027

Bahraini coach specialising in agile leadership, team development and executive coaching. She offers one-to-one coaching for team and executive leaders, group coaching linking organisational vision to daily operations, and a proprietary Agile Leadership Coaching Cards product. Director of Events on the ICF Bahrain 2024–25 board and President of the chapter for 2026–2027.

Why this placement

Her PCC is corroborated in two independent ICF-controlled places — the ICF Bahrain member directory and ICF's global events platform — which is a stronger evidentiary position than most entries in this region manage.

She is a GCC national building a practice in Arabic, and her coaching-cards product is a tangible instrument other practitioners can use rather than a service description. Leading a national chapter at this stage of a career is a meaningful commitment of unpaid time to the profession.
