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.

- Feeling the pain of a world in conflictI’ve been feeling low rather regularly in the last week. It’s really been at odds with what’s happening in my life. Broadly speaking, I’m actually on the up. Yet as I regain my connection with the world, I also regain my connection with its pains. And right now, the world is in a lot of pain. Seeing what is happening right now in Gaza is devastating. My soul has been longing for some space for sadness. After a period of time, perhaps I’m finally giving it.
- Riding the emotional downs without guiltFor the last few weeks, I’ve been waking up feeling pretty ‘ugh’. The film Inside Out 2 introduced a new character to personify this. The character was called ‘ennui’, with a stereotypical French manner of ‘bof’. Ennui is essentially a feeling of disinterest and melancholy. It’s a good description of how I’ve been often feeling in the mornings and late in the evenings. (Although I preferred the first film better) If I spend too much time thinking about it, I can end up getting super frustrated. After all, how can we have so many emotional shifts within the space of a single day?
- What the human body teach us about healingA few days ago I went to the Osteopath for a pain in my left shoulder. The pain is nothing new. I’ve had this pain whenever I do a few sessions of yoga. It’s come back ever since I’ve restarted classes a few weeks ago. Perhaps now was probably the time to actually fix it, rather than just constantly managing the situation.
