Supporting young people in finding and developing their superpowers 🚀

"The wisdom and calmness that entered my life with Rishad were exactly what I needed to move on, grow and make the next step. I've met him at an HR conference in Slovenia, where we've both had a speech. After a few minutes of casual conversation I felt like I was talking to a person who has known me for my entire life. That was super inspirational and as I was looking for a coach for some time already, the decision was easy. For me, working with him has been a profound experience of acceptance and joy. He makes it so easy to build a confident coaching relationship, no judgement, no dependence. He is there for you, anticipates all the moments in the transformation that you will need support or feel down, offers just the right amount of support and sometimes it seems he knows you better than you knew yourself. I loved that we did not need to linger on the problems and traumas for too long but were able to actively address them, bring them to awareness and slowly but surely surpass them."

"I had the privilege of being coached by an exceptional being who is Rishad ! He literally changed my life. He allowed me to understand my emotions, my past, my present, the patterns that I reproduced unconsciously ... and especially to become aware of the messages that my body has simply tried to transmit to me for several years. In short he allowed me to understand my whole life ! I really can not recommend him enough … Thank you dear Rishad 🙏🙏🙏"

"“I don’t talk about facts; I want you to feel,” he started his speech at the biggest HR event in Slovenia. And how he delivered! His words and charisma made me listen to him very carefully every second. He does not speak about leadership in traditional ways; he invites us to think about wisdom in leadership. He talks about holistic thinking, feelings, empathy, self-awareness, compassion, intuition, sacred geometry, heart intelligence. Such a refreshing perspective on leadership! When a speaker talks about these topics, the speaker speaks my language. But don’t be fooled by “spiritual topics”. Rishad is not a spiritual speaker – he is a leadership coach who will teach you how to think differently. Think holistically. Think in a way that a modern leader needs to think. I had an opportunity to spend some extra time with him after the conference. We had wonderful conversations about business, people, leadership, business, life. What a person. So real. So rare. I highly recommend him to be your leadership coach or a speaker to bring wisdom and very radiant energy."

His speeches radiate the wisdom of a mature soul, leaving a lasting impression on everyone who listens. Attending Rishad's workshop or lectures is a unique opportunity to engage with someone who not only talks the talk but also walks the walk.

His insights have the power to transform your perspective and elevate your approach to life and work."

"Rishad's speech at #loveHR Summit 2024 in sLOVEnia was phenomenal. And I'm not exaggerating. The whole experience of receiving his valuable wisdom about intuition-based leadership and feeling more than 600+ people grasping every single word that came out of his mouth was almost unreal. He is an incredible speaker with absolutely amazing energy. We were all almost hypnotized (in a positive way, of course), and even though the event happened weeks ago, everyone is still talking about Rishad's keynote speech because he certainly made a huge impact. If you are looking for a unique, professional, high-level speaker who will create an unforgettable experience at your next event, look no further. You have found it! Book Rishad and see the magic unfold!"

Podcast Host at The xMonks Drive | Master Certified Coach

"We had the privilege of having Rishad as a speaker at our Annual Conference 'The Coaching Conclave 2023'. This year the theme was 'Leveraging Coaching to unleashing Human Potential'. Rishad brought so much insights and depth in his talks that kept the audience engaged and intrigued. He is blessed with an uncanny ability to bring the essence of the Eastern philosophy and progressive nature of the western world. His comprehensive understanding of both the worlds and how that can enhance personal growth, unleash human potential and well-being is something that stood out so vividly. His understanding around some fundamental questions about the nature of reality, consciousness, and existence, duality, and how they connect with human potential/ leadership clarifies a lot of questions/ doubts people/ leaders might have. We loved working with him and are already working with him on future events and masterclasses."

"We, at TSIBA Ignition Academy, had the amazing privilege of having Rishad host our in-person Advanced Mentorship workshop in September 2023. In the weeks leading up to the event, Rishad provided our team with such valuable advice, thoughts, and ideas not just for the workshop, but for our entire mentorship project. This really expanded our own thinking as his evident passion for entrepreneurship truly inspired us and our thinking process. The advanced workshop was very well done, and the feedback was all positive. The turn out and the engagement during the workshop was fantastic, and we are very excited to have Rishad host our future workshops again, as well as contribute and inspire our upcoming ESD project and entrepreneurs."

"In the midst of the pandemic, I woke up to the reality that I was not as happy as I had convinced myself and felt a sense of desperation about the direction of my Life. I took a leap of faith and scheduled a session with Rishad Ahmed. The obvious is the wealth of knowledge and experience Rishad brings to the relationship. The not so obvious is the way in which he guides the client to the hidden treasures within them. I have worked in the field of mental health for nearly 30 years and the power of his approach with the Wisdom he imparts raised my eyebrows and my awareness! it seemed the natural next step to join Rishad in his desire to heal humanity and join his coaching class. Going deeper into the unexplored waters of my flow became more easily accessible with the increased awareness, the meditations, tools, training support and guidance from Rishad. The Coaching sessions allowed me to uncover layers of unwanted patterns and barriers leading to a more authentic life, free from judgement and restrictions to successfully Coach clients toward the life they desire to manifest. If you want to change the direction of your life and influence the good of Humanity, reach out to Rishad!"

"I have just finished and submitted for publication my first book in Greek. I have been ‘working’ on it for the last 4 years but I don’t think I would have ever found the courage and the motivation to finish it if it wasn’t for my work with my amazing coach Rishad Ahmed. Rishad had the compassion and an incredibly intuitive method to gently guide me towards realising all my blessings, my talents, my purpose, who Maria really is. Also discover or rather allowed myself to find joy in life again. The process has completely transformed me, not only in the way that I feel, but also in the way that I see and present myself to the world. It has been tough at times. But I would not change this experience for anything. I have been so influenced by Rishad’s presence and ideas that I have now undertaken his training course and I have trained as a coach myself also! Rishad Ahmed has an incredible ability to combine ancient with modern, science with spirituality, matters of the soul with every day experiences. He is extremely well read and has a vast experience of helping hundreds of people. He is always present in his clients’ lives helping them beyond his duty. He is generous with his time, his knowledge and his vision and is well loved by a large circle of people. 16 months since my first session with Rishad, 2 books under publication, 1 book chapter authored by invitation, 11 new songs, 25 kg weight lost, and a smile. Thank you for everything Rishad! 🙏🏻"

Rishad's wide body of wisdom and knowledge comes from the best place such things can come from: from Nature.

"Working with Rishad has opened my mind and heart up in ways that have been deeply transformative. By visiting and working through my stories, beliefs and thought patterns it has provided me with realisations and enabled me to see, believe and feel things from a different perspective I would not have been able to do by myself. I have learnt to appreciate really just being, allowing myself to flow, and having acceptance. I feel like I have only touched the surface, and very much look forward to working with Rishad and his gifted abilities again. Thank you Rishad for holding this space for me to connect with my true being."

"Rishad is amazing and his work is truly life-changing. So many of our limiting beliefs live rent-free in our minds. We become slaves to our thoughts without realizing. Rishad makes it simple to stop the madness. He reminds you to focus on the synchronicity, the universe working in your favor, and gives you the courage to enter the unknown. He has studied with and knows all of the greats, and brings this knowledge to each personal or group session. He and his global network allow for an amazing feeling of connectedness and community. Thank you Rishad for your time and presence."

Finding our voices, together

"I have had the pleasure of having numerous conversations with Mr Ahmed. After reading one of his LinkedIn posts, I knew he was the one who could answer questions that were beyond mundane topics. He expressed interest in me and how I saw life. He listened and carefully followed my thoughts. My life and identity were previously woven around my job and accomplishments. I saw my self's value as a "doer" and not a "be-er". I am learning to Be and explore and discover the inner richness of my being. My therapist could not comprehend my questionings. Rishad could. There is nothing too complex for him. Had I continued on without his interaction, I shudder to imagine. I transiently overthink and he has shown me the value of meditation. To be still and enjoy the moment and all that is around me. This will help me personally and my marriage and prepare for the next phase of life. Like the others, I can not recommend Rishad Ahmed more highly. Thank you, Rishad"

"I went on a four day coaching journey with Rishad that I can only explain through the metaphor of a symphony. The first three days unravelled unique themes that all came together, culminating in a major breakthrough on our last day together. At the end of our four day symphony, I was feeling anxious about going back to ‘reality’, but then I remembered the words of Nietzsche: “The end of a melody is not its goal, but nonetheless, if the melody had not reached its end it would not have reached its goal either.” Rishad was instrumental in helping me reach my breakthrough and I highly recommend contacting him to help you reach yours."
