Mirza Yawar Baig

Confidential Advisor, Leadership Strategist, Entrepreneur.

Executive Summary

Leadership is a lonely business. You don't find mentors/guides who are in the same arena as yourself. There is a gap. You need someone who resonates with your vision, understands your challenges and has the expertise and leadership to walk this journey with you, while providing a safe and confidential space.

The challenges are many and I, Mirza Yawar Baig, specialise in transition during transformation from Person-led to Process-driven™. I bring unique strengths as a trusted impartial Facilitator, skilled in resolving conflicts and building conciliation.
