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.

- Taking it one step at a timeI’ve been intentionally looking to walk more. Walking more however can sound a little dumb. After all, most of us walk everyday. It’s become so programmed into our living that the idea of intentionally walking just sounds like adding more needless travel into our day. Yet for me, I’m finding walking one of the most adapted and well-suited forms of exercise I’ve intentionally done.
- Being caught between different worldsI travelled back to the UK this week for the launch of my father’s biography. That, in of itself is a rather momentous moment. But the whiplash of shifting a recent trip to Spain, back to Belgium, to the UK then a Bangladeshi community event was particularly intense. I don’t feel such sequence of events is particularly rare in my life. If anything, I feel the sense of being caught between worlds becoming ever stronger as time goes by. I oft feel like I am caught between them all. I exist in many, but I’m never fully in one.
