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.

- When you can’t seem to ‘have fun’ in lifeI’ve noticed recently that my life has been lacking pleasure. I don’t really seem to be having much fun. That’s not to say that I don’t have access to fun things. It’s more that I don’t end up feeling like I am enjoying myself. And over time, I’ve… Read more: When you can’t seem to ‘have fun’ in life
- Answering the call of leadership (in Toastmasters)first attended the Claddagh Toastmaster’s club in early 2022. Fast forward to three years later, I’ve now been elected as the club President for the 2025-2026 term. I had never heard of Toastmasters until I came across it in a personal development book. It highly recommended as a space to improve yourself, particularly around public speaking. Having spent many years doing Model United Nations during my youth, public speaking was already rather up my street. Over the last few years, my Toastmaster club has been a refuge in a sea of political chaos and radical personal shifts. It is one of the few in-person meetings with a regular schedule in my life.
