ABOUT ME
My name is Yasir. I am an independent consultant and an executive coach with 25 years of experience holding leadership positions in a range of sectors.
I was born in Baghdad, educated in England and have lived and worked in Japan, Bosnia, Australia and the US amongst other places. I have worked with people of all backgrounds and walks of life. It has given me a strong sense of perspective and a profound understanding of diversity and adversity. I speak a number of languages (some are a bit rustier than others), but learning each has unlocked for me a deeper and richer understanding of people and cultures the world over.
​
I now work either independently, or as an associate with several organisations, to consult on inclusive leadership and how to transform your company successfully with managed cultural change: Not at the superficial or solely theoretical level but with the practical application of technology and practices that embed the behaviours you seek in peoples' day to day tasks.
​
I also mentor and coach senior executives as well as young professionals and emerging leaders to help them unearth their greatest personal and professional potentials. It is a goal to create leaders who lead with purpose and compassion and understand how to leverage the range of people, personalities and very different experiences under their command to their full potential.
​
My coaching training enables me to provide team and event facilitation and team-building work including several psychometric test methodologies.
My clients have included individuals and companies in every sector: Adidas, NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement, Healthdirect Australia, World Gold Council, nooQ, BMJ (British Medical Journal), Marie Stopes International, Bupa, Royal & Sun Alliance, Verizon, the Money Advice Service, to name a few.
