Flying Colours is back and it has now become the Flying Colours Network. We will continue doing podcasts but you will see different hosts and also, different formats like live coaching.

Here is Tahmid introducing himself:

"I’m Tahmid. I am a transformational coach who supports individuals and businesses to continually improve and be the best version of themselves. As a professional, I work on policy-making and Diversity and Inclusion, most recently within the UK Government.

I greatly believe in the importance of Diversity and Inclusion in the modern economy. As a coach, I work with senior executives, D&I practitioners and those with a particular interest in Diversity and Inclusion to better understand their own views and what positive impact they can make in the world.

Through my proven track record of success, I have developed corporate Diversity and Inclusion Strategies, as well as targeted Race initiatives. I developed race training material and presented at senior boards with recommendations on how to improve racial diversity in the workplace.

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, and have also done courses in German, Dutch and Italian. To wind down I also do yoga (when I get the chance!)"
