Discover videos on coaching, business, entrepneurship, education by Safaraz Ali
I’m Safaraz, a natural introvert who has discovered the profound value in sharing ideas and sparking conversations. My voyage in the realm of actively engaging in media and publishing making has been transformative, not only in my professional pursuits but also in personal growth.
As a CEO, I’ve learned the importance of stepping beyond my comfort zone. Leading businesses and therefore people demands visibility—it’s about being the face of a mission and the voice of a purpose that resonates with others. That’s why, despite my introverted tendencies, I’ve embraced the challenge of engaging with others through purpose, passion, and the power of sharing knowledge, views and insights wherever possible.
The digital landscape provides a unique platform for us introverts. It allows us to craft our message thoughtfully and to reach out across the globe from our own controlled environments. I’ve found a new voice in this space—one that thrives on the exchange of ideas and the communal pursuit of knowledge.
Embracing the Spotlight for a Greater Purpose
My colleagues and other supporters have stated that “ your thought leadership videos are a testament to your intent and performance. With each production, I not only share insights but also weave in the experiences that have pushed me to grow. I’ve found a sense of purpose in showing up, speaking out, and connecting with like-minded individuals and teams who are on a similar path of discovery and innovation.
Lifelong Learning as a Shared Journey
By diving into social media and video production, I’m not just sharing what I know—I’m inviting you to share as well. It’s about creating a space where we can all contribute, question, and understand more deeply. And true to the spirit of lifelong learning, it’s a space where we never stop growing.
An Invitation to Join the Conversation
By diving into social media and video production, I’m not just sharing what I know—I’m inviting you to share as well. It’s about creating a space where we can all contribute, question, and understand more deeply. And true to the spirit of lifelong learning, it’s a space where we never stop growing.
Whether you’re an introvert like me or an extrovert who thrives in the limelight, there’s immense value in coming together. I invite you to join this journey, to engage with the content, and to bring your insights to the table.
I look forward to connecting with you.
Warm regards, Safaraz

Peer Coaching: Peer to peer coaching in the workplace by Safaraz Ali
Peer Coaching is Powerful for Leadership Development Peer coaching and support can be a very useful way to create a high performing environment.
My go to quote for everything about teamwork and therefore peer challenge and support is:
“we are not a team because we work together, we are a team because we make each other better”
Each one of us has three key groups of people for leaning on for learning and supporting:
- Those ahead of us in a specific area
- Those at the same level as us
- Those behind us in a specific area
When you get involved in peer challenging and supporting, it allows you to reflect yourself & improve your own performance
Remember:
When one teaches, two learn
That’s why they say the best way to learn and grow yourself is to support others.
90 Day Goal Getting and Goal Setting Plan: 90 Day Goals
90 Day Goal Getting and Goal Setting Plan by Safaraz Ali
Before you get started on your plan – an important pre-step I would suggest is to…
Know your numbers
Understand your risks
Prioritise your priorities
Think about – what’s important to you now?
Develop a list of things positive (opportunities) or negative (threats) that are newly important and relevant for the next 90/ 180/ 365 days.
So now we have a big list of stuff that we want to do….
Using the “Hedgehog method”, list the top 5 things: That really …… MAKE A DIFFERENCE, That is MAKE A MEANINGFUL DIFFERENCE
Doing things at the right time in the right way & for the right reason….
Now, you have thought about the big things – your top 5…. move on to the smaller things the details, what you can improve and do, to make a change in the business.
We get what we focus on Good Luck 🙂
