Speaker Profile
Dr. Tanveer Ahmed is a psychiatrist and opinion columnist for the Sydney Morning Herald. He is a former SBS television journalist who has covered a broad range of foreign affairs and business stories. He has a unique range of Board, management and political experience.
Tanveer sits on the Advertising Standards Board, the national regulatory body for the advertising industry, and is a Governor of the Smith Family and former national representative for junior doctors within the Australian Medical Association.
He is a regular commentator on social, economic and political matters throughout the entire spectrum of media and has appeared on a range of television and radio programs, including the Seven Network's Sunrise, the Nine Nework's Sunday, and the ABC's Lateline, 7:30 report and Q&A.
Tanveer Ahmed was chosen by a PM's committee as one of a hundred future leaders of Australia and twice as one of 50 'young men of influence' by Men's Style.
An expert in changing human behaviour and the inner conflicts and habits that hamper effective change, Tanveer applies his knowledge of individuals to the organisational and group sphere in a broad range of industries. He is an expert in the notion of adaptive leadership, a key skill in today's complex environment. His broad knowledge base and experience give him unique insights into the problems facing today's leaders.
Tanveer's inspiring journey from a child of a Bangladeshi immigrant is a great choice for an uplifting, motivational talk. His mix of career activities is unique. Furthermore, his engaging style and thoughtful but entertaining delivery make him very accessible. He is able to tailor his speech closely to the needs of your organisation.
Though trained as a psychiatrist, Tanveer Ahmed's broader mix of activities allow him to speak of the wider significance of mental health and the social issues that overlap with it. His experience as a journalist and columnist make him one of the more incisive social commentators in the country.
Tanveer's background in television journalism, comedy (a dual state finalist in RAW, Australia's biggest amateur comedy contest) and co-hosting a prime-time gameshow make him an excellent facilitator or master of ceremonies in any field.

- I thought his presentation and MC role at the Australian Leadership Alumni (ALA) Conference was outstanding. He clearly understood the audience and issues. I think he connected with the ALAs and was able to respond to their questions and queries with aplomb. He was confident, skilful and responsive on some very challenging issues. I will be remaining in contact with him and looking for ways to engage him in my leadership work.
AusAID - Tanveer gave us a fascinating talk relating his experience in mental health and human behaviour to the challenges of leadership in the modern workplace. I would recommend him highly.
Perpetual Investments - In Tudor times, I would have been happy to call Tanveer Ahmed "a most excellent Fool" - and in saying so, I would have been offering him a supreme compliment. Tanveer is a talented speaker with the rare ability to combine deep, intelligent analysis with sparkling good humour.
St James Ethics Centre - Now that we know you and how great you were yesterday, please be warned that you will be summoned all the time and I do really mean all the time. You are on the top of our list! I had received so many good comments about the panel discussion.
National Breast Cancer Foundation - An engaging and entertaining talk by a dynamic individual. Tanveer was able to draw on his broad experience and relate it to our event, which had a varied audience of all ages and backgrounds.
Smith Family - Tanveer was both informative and entertaining, and kept the audience engaged throughout the entire presentation, which, from past experience is not easy to do. Based on the positive feedback that we received from all who attended, I would not hesitate in engaging the services of Tanveer Ahmed to present at another meeting in the near future.
