Welcome!
Hi, my name is Tahmid Chowdhury, and I am a transformational coach and writer. I drive positive change.
I believe in the power of humans to shift the status quo. We do this by harnessing the power of difference – difference of ideas, background and thought. This makes us stronger.
We are held back by our structures around us, which stop us from changing the world. Whether that be the organisations around us, societal expectations or our own beliefs about ourselves.
I coach people to overcome the challenges they face to make the world a better place.
I write a weekly newsletter, based upon personal development, diversity & inclusion and organisational culture. I host the podcast ‘Behind the Suit and Tie’, where I speak to people from different walks of life to ask them more about their lives, interests and what their personal motivations are.
Outside of work, I love to travel and learn languages. I speak English, French and Spanish. I am currently taking weekly classes to learn Bengali. To wind down I also do yoga (when I get the chance!)

- Sometimes it’s just not that deepWe can get stuck in the endless frame of asking ‘why’. I’m upset – why do I feel this way? What do I need to change to make things better? Is there maybe something I’m missing? These questions can be genuinely valuable. But it’s also helpful to recognise that not everything needs a deep analysis.
- Opening up to a deeper vulnerabilityI had a moment this week where I felt deep fear. There was nothing to be scared of externally, and I knew that. But I felt fear all the same. I am someone who has generally always kept my composure in situations. I rarely lose control. Even in moments of intense emotion, these are often calculated, deliberate actions. But here I was in a situation where I opened up more deeply than I am used to.
- The art of learning nothingEvery day may be an opportunity to learn something new. But we can afford ourselves a break sometimes. I’ve been tuning out my brain from needing to learn or do too much. Earlier in the month I spent a lot of time reading about Autism, ADHD and the like. Right now, I’m doing very little. Sometimes our brains need time to properly digest the information we take in.
