Train with Umrah | Tech and Tides

Hi, I’m Umrah, a lead business analyst, lecturer, and trainer, passionate about helping people grow in both soft skills and technology.

Over the years, I’ve met incredible individuals who were brilliant but struggled to express, lead, or analyze effectively. That’s when I realized knowledge alone isn’t enough. You need the right mindset, the right skills, and the right story to stand out.

This channel is where I bring all of that together, Business Analysis, Communication, Tech, and Personal Growth, simplified, practical, and real.

If you’re someone who loves learning and becoming the best version of yourself, you’re in the right place.
Let’s grow, one skill, one story, one step at a time.

Honored to speak at the Sri Lanka Business Analysis Conference 2025 in Colombo 🇱🇰
My first tech conference as a speaker, and what a way to start!

Speaking to a 300+ strong audience of analysts, thinkers, and professionals was both humbling and electrifying.

I’ve always believed that the best messages are the ones you experience not just hear. That’s why we at TIQRI made our session practical, hands-on, and real. It was amazing to see the entire room engage, explore, and elevate together.

Grateful for this milestone moment and excited for what’s next.

3 Simple Negotiation Skills That Actually Work

1. Say your offer, then stay silent. Most people feel uncomfortable with silence and may give you more than expected.

2. Always ask for a bit more than you really want. It gives you room to negotiate and still walk away happy.

3. Focus on the reason behind their request, not just what they ask for. Solving their real need leads to better deals for both sides.

💬 Which one will you try first?
