Welcome!
Hi! I’m Tahmid, a coach and writer. I work with individuals and groups with the aim of making people the best version of themselves. I do this through facilitated self-inquiry, guiding people to see their greatest potential.
My professional background has been in public policy. I worked in the UK Government as a civil servant for around five years. I then moved to Brussels, which I now call home. Here I worked on influencing EU sustainability policy, particularly on circular economy. Through my time, I worked at the heart of decision-making, seeing the good, the bad and the ugly.
I’m an avid learner. Aside from investing on intangible personal development, I do have numerous bits of paper that I’ve collected. I hold an MA in European Studies, I’m a qualified transformational coach, an agile project management practitioner, and some other certificates, such as a Level 6 Diploma in Leadership and Management. I speak English, French and Spanish, passive understanding of Sylheti/Bengali, and some light level of Dutch and Italian.

- The secret all this time was GheeThere is commonality in every individual action we take. But if we go with the common approach, it’s unlikely to fit us as an individual. Whenever we take an action, it connects us with the whole. Humans eat, sleep, work. In this, we share a common thing that binds us as a society. But if we are guided only by what is commonly done, it’s unlikely to really suit us. Just because ‘the norm’ is to get an office job, does not mean that this is right for us. And just because the average amount of sleep required is around 8 hours, this does not mean 8 hours sleep is actually right for us either.
- A Sunday morning of tidying up the officeEmpty Sunday mornings are pretty good days to do some tidying. I’ve accumulated so many bits of paper in the last few years that it has started to overflow. My office space has become generally noisy, to the point where the clutter has become a mainstay on desk spaces. A tidy-up has been very much overdue. And whilst I would like to pretend that I have such saintly energy that I just simply decided to tidy, the truth was that I pushed myself into it. Last night, I spent about an hour looking for my old passport. Turns out, I needed to find an old visa number stamped on it. I left half the papers on the floor. I had made it so messy that I forced my own hand in needing to tidy it up this morning.
- Ayurveda: the alternative to modern health and wellbeing approachesPhoto by Lisa Hobbs on Unsplash I’m sure you’ve heard about all sorts of theories around health hacks before. Whether it’s an Atkins diet, celery juicing, high protein or some other funky diet. Whilst I’m not against such diets, they only seem to work for a certain group… Read more: Ayurveda: the alternative to modern health and wellbeing approaches
