SUMMARY
Umair Jal iawala is a decade-strong consultant and trainer on Leadership, Enterprise and Technology (LET) - Authentic Leadership, driven by ideals, not idols; Passionate Enterprises, where teams l ive their dreams and Social Technologies that enable us to be and do more.
Jal iawala’s horizon of consulting in learning design and delivery ranges from national-level working groups to ethnic to community- based initiatives. His abil ity to map needs and to conceptualise interventions based on participation, inclusiveness and sustainabil ity makes his work relevant, revered and replicable. His global connection and local action have helped him match up with global consulting groups.
As a trainer, Umair assimilates business, religion, philosophy and psychology. His sessions are a roller-coaster journey of realisations, audio-visual content, exercises and simulations. A usual Jal iawala-experience makes participants reflect, grow, celebrate, cry and connect.
Jaliawala has learnt from, designed for and delivered trainings to multinational and local corporations, international development agencies, public bodies and educational institutions. He has facilitated organisations to bring VMV to life through internal campaigning, roll-outs and road-shows. Several organisations have sought his expertise to design in-house modules and develop internal trainers. Jaliawala has envisioned and scripted customer service and sales standards, and produced e-modules for digital savvy organisations. Also, Umair has to his belt, the experience of designing leadership team retreats and facilitating large groups in conferences.
Previously, he established Torque Corp, led School of Leadership and relaunched SoL Foundation. His team of 65, all under-30, organised in a social enterprise, collectively reported a Million USD on financial scorecard. He actively volunteers for industry initiatives such as Trainers Resource Group (TRG) and The Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE).

RECOMMENDATIONS

‘‘In my HR capacity, whenever I am asked by my management to recommend a trainer, Umair has always been among the top 2-3 trainers on my mind. I had
the pleasure of engaging and working with Umair on multiple occasions, in multiple training sessions that we arranged in Novartis, Sandoz and Abbott Laboratories, and Umair has always delivered way above our expectations. His charismatic personality, his ability to inspire and deeply engage with the
audience and his tremendous level of energy in his training sessions is remarkable. I particularly appreciate Umair's unique way of thinking, his
thought provoking views on important life aspects and his ability to see the other side of the picture which most of the others do not see.
He is mesmerising, inspirational and yet a very humble and modest human being. He is a source of learning, development and motivation for millions of
people in Pakistan and abroad, including myself. Umair is an asset for our country. I wish him all the very best in everything he does and I hope to work
with him for many years to come!
I had an opportunity to work with Umair Jaliawala while preparing our in-house training sessions for Retail. The zeal and excitement he has shown during the
homework was really commendable and the delivery was a “WOW” experience. Umair belongs to the rare group of training professionals who genuinely believes in adding value in people's lives. Being so "Young" hence youthful thoughts makes him a unique Trainer. He comes across as someone who knows what he is talking
about and can adapt his style based on audience involvement and emotional quotient level. Umair ensures that the course remains interactive and participants
learn without being taught. Nothing can stop him from achieving whatever he wants in his life, Good Luck for the exciting journey ahead!
‘‘Muhammad Tahir

A fabulous experience beyond my expectations.The diversity of challenging exercises chosen kept everybody enthusiastically involved from first to the last
minute.Tempo was maintained throughout I only saw happy faces and a healthy competitive atmosphere.Credit goes to Umair who maintained an energetic and
enthusiastic interaction. It was a memorable day that we will not forget!
