Leadership Development & Team Engagement for Client-Facing Professionals in Financial Services and Consulting
​
At Innovation Bazar, we design and deliver leadership development and team engagement programs for client-facing professionals in financial services and consulting — built around real business priorities and measured through pre- and post-assessments to ensure learning translates into visible business results.
​
Our work focuses on three areas: Executive Communication & Influence, Problem Solving & Strategic Thinking, and Leadership Development & Team Engagement — so capability translates directly into performance.

​
Lidara™ Leadership Capability Accelerator
​
A 2–3 day in-person leadership development program for client-facing professionals in financial services and consulting.
​
Lidara™ is designed and facilitated by Maryam Daryabegi — a leadership development practitioner who has spent two decades inside financial institutions and consulting firms across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, and who works exclusively with organizations in financial services and consulting.
​
The program is built around the real challenges professionals face in client-facing roles — delivered on-site, tailored to the organization's context, and measured through pre- and post-assessments to ensure learning translates into visible business results.
​
The program strengthens three capabilities:
-
Problem Solving & Strategic Thinking — issue-based problem solving, critical and analytical thinking, and design thinking
-
Executive Communication & Influence — executive communication, presentations, storytelling, difficult conversations, and relationship building
-
Leadership Development & Team Engagement — leading self, teams, and client engagements; coaching and team dynamics; agile leadership
The experience brings together:
-
Cohort-based learning
-
Applied workshops and simulations
-
Executive coaching
-
Live business challenges
