Aman Zaidi

More About Me

I’ve always been fascinated by human potential – whether it’s in the form of success or learning through failure. A biology topper, undefeated quizzer and champion debater, I know what it feels like to excel. But I’ve also experienced the struggles of career transitions, math and physics, and this has taught me one thing: I’m less interested in judging people, and more interested in helping them unlock their potential.
 
That passion is why I chose a career in Leadership Development, Organisation Development, and Executive Coaching. After years of leading large teams, improving processes, and delivering results as a Head of Operations, I shifted my focus to helping individuals and organisations discover their strengths. I believe that when people thrive, organisations follow.
 
Drawing on my leadership experience and using experiential education, positive psychology, and advanced facilitation techniques, I specialise in:

 – Leadership Development
 – Executive Presence
 – Experiential Education
 – Diversity & Inclusion
 – Applied Strengths Psychology
 – Wellbeing in Organisations
 – Business Storytelling
  Executive Coaching 

Examples of Impact:
– Transformative Cultural Change: Reduced attrition by 50% for a 300-person programme, creating a talent framework that fostered internal promotions and growth.
– Executive Presence Enhancement: Designed and facilitated Executive Presence workshops for 200 leaders at a global bank, significantly boosting their confidence and leadership effectiveness.

– Inclusive Leadership and Diversity Initiatives: Pioneered workshops on Inclusive Leadership and Diversity & Inclusion for major organisations, including HSBC, driving cultural change and fostering inclusive workplace environments.
– Award-Winning Leadership Development: Led an award-winning leadership development project, recognised with the HR Award for Excellence in People Development Solutions, significantly enhancing client metrics such as C-SAT and account growth.

I’m also passionate about sharing these ideas with others. I’ve taught Positive Psychology at the prestigious TISS-ODA Organisation Development Certification Programme and delivered a TEDx talk on using strengths to create thriving individuals and institutions.
 

If you’re an executive looking to transform your organisation’s results, enhance your team’s performance, or grow in your own career, let’s connect. I’d love to help you unlock your full potential.

Our Testimonials

We gave Aman half a day to help us kick off a quite important Sales meet we had with our team. Well not only is he a very nice person, but he was very professional and talented in the way he guided us and inspired us for the rest of our workshop. I was impressed by the quality of his intervention, and the light and confident way he managed our group.

Head of Engineering German Auto Co.

Aman and I worked together to deliver a leadership development workshop for a business unit of M&M. Aman brings immense perspective to the table, and was very receptive to our needs from the very beginning. He was able to draw an instant connection with our senior team and there was a spontaneous level of trust and comfort established with the participants. He can make people think and introspect on some of the toughest people challenges they may face as managers, and push the boundaries of their rigidly held ideas. His calmness and balance set him apart and make him an absolute pleasure to work with.

Deputy Manager Human Resources

Aman’s consultation has made a big impact on the efficiency of my business. After Aman and I worked on my Strength profile, I feel 50% more productive and also less tired mentally. I am able to direct energy to my core area and my co-founder takes on her core area. I recommend that every entrepreneur, who has dreams, wants to get things done & grow their business, have a session with Aman.

Founder Food Startup

Aman takes pains to understand the needs of the training, the business and his audience. This sincerity combined with high energy helps him establish a good connection with all participants. We did a couple of programs where he was a facilitator and he was very well appreciated by his audience in those. His knowledge of Strengthscope is excellent and his debriefing helped all of us in understanding our strength areas. In fact his debriefing on my areas of strength and the visibility of the same helped me to plan my career ahead. I would recommend him as one of the most capable facilitators.

HR Manager Pharma

Aman is an amazing story teller. I attended a workshop with him on ” the stories we tell ourselves”. One of the exercises in the workshop was to write a fictitious story. When Aman narrated his story, it had a very powerful & healing effect on me. An anger that I held within me for many years shifted. I was simply amazed at how a simple story, the way it was written & narrated could bring about such a huge shift in my life. Thank you Aman!!

It is said that’ KNOWLEDGE is love affair with ANSWERS' and WISDOM is love affair with QUESTIONS”. Aman very genuinely and consistently asks questions to reach the root cause, which at times shake the basic paradigms and make people think which helps one unlearn and learn. I appreciate his sense of humour which makes his sessions light. He also keeps things simple to understand which helps all participants to connect better.

The best Train the Trainer session I had. His calm and cool personality makes the audience comfortable to open up and explore and enjoy the session. He is a true example of talk less and listen more where he just gives you a little push to think of ideas which are already with you. Had a great time and learning.
