About Me


Do we define ourselves by what we do
or what we love to do…

Practically speaking, in the eyes of the world, we are what we do and that’s how people perceive us (no matter what we would love to do).

Though it certainly may not be our reality, but perceptions easily become reality unless one makes an effort to break it.

So let me give you my practical reality, first.

My name is Zeerik Ahmad. I am a Certified Six Sigma Black Belt (CSSBB), and a Personal & Business Improvement Consultant.

In addition, I am also the founder, writer, and Managing Director of IdeasBeat - The Web Magazine that provides diversity of articles and resources covering a variety of areas in all aspects of life.

I have about 25+ years of corporate experience nationally and internationally in Operations, Quality, IT, HR, Communications within the corporate sectors.

It took time for me to finally adopt the writing and publishing profession. As I see that there can be a lot of value addition in the industry.

Earlier, I have spent 14 years in United Arab Emirates (UAE) and 12 years in Pakistan with leading international organizations including Emaar Properties Dubai, Pace Pakistan and DHA Lahore.

My true area of work passion is 'Communications'. That includes business communications, marketing communications, interpersonal communications, which I use in personal and work coaching.
