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 result is that it makes my life a misery for several days. I missed several events because I knew my body was not up for it, and managing my eating has been a nightmare. My solution has been to push eating whatever feels easy enough to digest. In that sense, my eating has been replaced to that of a toddler. Fish fingers and oven fries have been the easy, go-to meal. It’s difficult to have new health issues come up that defy conventional explanation. Going to the doctor seems futile because there is little obvious that can be solved, and within a few weeks it passes anyway. But by that time, some other issue seems to arise.
- The fruits of a slow, consistent baselinePhoto by Barnabas Piper on Unsplash I’ve been humbled by how much my physical capacities have nosedived. I’ve had to reel back many of my daily activities. This was from an already diminished level compared to my days pre-burnout. I’ve gone from being able to juggle a full… Read more: The fruits of a slow, consistent baseline
- The lack of logic in recoveryPhoto by Pawel Czerwinski on Unsplash I’ve often wondered whether I will ever get better again, or whether constant fatigue is my new reality. Logic says that it will. There’s nothing identifiably chronic about my health. Yet logic also dictates that this should have been over by now too. In fact,… Read more: The lack of logic in recovery
