When it comes to providing a fresh look at leadership, and actionable guidance on how to become a more effective and successful leader in today’s faster-paced, global environment, award-winning and internationally acclaimed leadership writer and thinker Tanveer Naseer has proven himself to be a fresh and unique voice within the leadership sphere.

So much so that Inc. Magazine has recognized Tanveer not only as one of their “100 Great Leadership Speakers”, but they also included Tanveer in their list of the “Top 100 Management and Leadership Experts”, putting him alongside some of the top leadership thinkers and practitioners in the world.

In his talks, Tanveer masterfully blends research studies with inspiring and insightful stories so that audience members are not only motivated to become better leaders in their organization, but they now have the tools and road map for how to put these ideas into action in their everyday work lives.

It’s not surprising then why Tanveer continues to receive high praise from audience members across Canada, United States, Europe, and the Middle East, and why he’s been recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of today’s “100 Great Leadership Speakers”.

Tanveer’s message on keeping your and your team’s focus on your boat crosses my mind from time to time. He addressed it as a keynote speaker at the beginning of the pandemic last year. This is what you should expect from a leadership coach – the message delivered is relevant and resonates not only at the moment but throughout.

How Leaders Can Create Purpose and Foster Connections In The Hybrid Workplace

Without question, the way we work is changing, and this change requires leaders to pivot in how they approach their role. Specifically, leaders need to not only create opportunities for their employees to do purposeful work, but they also have to help foster connections between team members who might rarely be in the same room together.

Tanveer also reveals how to adapt both your mindset and the way you communicate to foster emotional connections with those you lead, regardless of what kind of hybrid workspace your team operates within.

As a co-chair for the NextGen Leaders Employee Resource Group at CMHC, I had the opportunity to interact with and co-host Tanveer to talk to us about empathy and leadership, and how to strengthen connections and improve delegation. Tanveer is a dynamic speaker who can captivate audiences with his impeccable story telling style of delivering key leadership snippets. Across our interaction, Tanveer had been accommodating with our varied administrative requests and most of all with content delivery personalized to help us bring better insights to our colleagues at CMHC. I would highly recommend Tanveer as a speaker on all things leadership.
