Client success stories and feedback on coaching, books, and services.
“Abrar served as a coach for our company and select team members at JBE. Abrar provided valuable strategic insights to help our team members engage effectively with Corporate Executives and enabled us to be more effective in influencing change in the organizations that we support. It was clear that Abrar has significant experience and skill working at the Executive level and helping to guide executives and executive teams towards change and reaching corporate goals. Abrar has also worked with me personally to provide coaching on how to grow into a more effective leader and influence the direction to move towards our company goals. I appreciated that he is able to quickly identify strengths and areas for growth and provide guidance on a path forward. Abrar is humble and kind and is such a pleasure to interact with. Also, the book he wrote, Management by Intent, is fantastic and provides great perspective and allowed me to re-shape my thinking as a business leader.”

“Abrar has the gift to break down the complex world of ESG into an understandable, albeit demanding roadmap. He challenges you to dig deep and really think about what your end goal is, both for your company as well as for you, as an individual, and he prepares you for the role you play in that journey. As someone who is typically quick to put tactical steps in place, I appreciated Abrar’s ability to enhance my big-picture strategical thinking while still providing guidance on next steps to ensure progress would be made..”

Owner Small Business Enterprise
“As a seasoned management consultant, Abrar brings an objective viewpoint and an out-of-the-box perspective to accurately analyze and deliver on client’s needs. While working together as Partners at ERM, one of my major chemical sector clients was struggling to design a fit-for-purpose Operational Excellence Management System (OEMs). This was a very high-profile project with stakeholders spanning from the VPs of Operations and EH&S, and their CFO, to each of the facility managers including their heads of production, quality, process safety and asset integrity. Abrar put together a team with a deep understanding of the industry requirements and the client’s operational culture. His team’s ability to expeditiously identify the existing organizational roadblocks and pain points coupled with his effective engagement and communication allowed for the successful completion of the project within budget and on time. The result was the adoption of an integrated OEMS that was instrumental in helping my client achieve its day-to-day operational performance goals, not just in the U.S. but internationally”

As leaders we are always seeking to answer the question of “how to build lasting teams and lasting legacies” and the holistic approach that Abrar’s text and seminars share are definitely key elements to answering that question.”
