Mazher H. Syed's Linkedin Analytics

My doorway into the real world of work-experience opened into a classroom. A blackboard, a piece of chalk, a duster and a room-full of innocent faces greeted me – their new “Little Teacher”. After 4 years of passionate teaching, I carried that passion to hold an unsure hand, to correct an error, and to pat on the back, into the semi-glamorous world of Travel, Tourism and Aviation. I spent 37 years in this industry with a short stint in Airlines Sales. My specialization was in transforming company profiles from consolidation and retail travel management to corporate travel management. Managing this evolution required championing critical growth hacks like leading process reengineering and change management, resource planning, and my personal favourite - people management. My journey started with developing human talent and this always remained my core passion. This kept me closely involved in setting up HR processes, and in mentoring people for leadership roles. In March 2016, I retired as the COO of a travel management company to follow the voice of my heart. It was time to broaden my spectrum beyond my team and share my learning with a larger audience. Today, I offer counselling through one to one personal sessions and offline workshops for students, working professionals and corporates. Some of my most loved topics are related to improving communication skills, enhancing employability skills, evaluating talent, setting goals and tracking progress. As a counsellor, I am available for all those who have something on their mind, or are in a dilemma about taking a decision. If they wish to connect with someone who can listen and converse with them, help them make up their mind, or just make them feel better…I’m just a shout away! You may send me an email or a personal note with your connection request. Email ID: mazher.virtuous@outlook.com So, connect with me to smile, and spread the smile...
