About Asma K. Chaudhry

I have learned that Trust leads to Oneness which is the basis of Faith.

I discovered coaching while on a healing and empowerment journey.

In 2019, I faced a crisis

In 2019 I faced a crisis I wasn't prepared for. No one could tell by looking at me, because I checked all the boxes for an ideal life on the outside, but on the inside I was suffering. My life needed alignment and my heart was crying for help. I didn't know where to turn, so I chose to turn to God.

I made a lot of prayers, and asked for many signs. I leaned on my curiosity and investigated every subject I could think of to help me get through this difficult time. I sought the help of many teachers by taking several relevant courses, and in the process, I found coaching very helpful. My coaches empowered me to look within myself to find the answers I was searching for. I was able to deconstruct my limiting beliefs and connect with a deeper part of myself that is compassionate, wise and forgiving. I used to think that I was searching in the dark without a clear path, but in hindsight, I can see how over a period of three years.

God was guiding me all along.

In Islam the most fundamental belief is Tawhid, the Oneness of God, which relies on three core principles.

1) God is One in Lordship
2) God is One in his Qualities
3) God is One in Worship

I can see now that God was teaching me about this belief. The first year, I learned to break my dependence on everything but God by letting go of attachments and learning present moment awareness. In the second year, I learned about his names and attributes and increased my remembrance with them which developed my emotional intelligence and interpersonal connections. In the third year, I learned how to practice oneness in my practical day to day life, which boosted my performance and productivity, as well as my self-confidence and inner-peace.

Through this process, my life was changed. My heart was empowered and I saw my blessings multiply. The crisis I was facing had transformed into a lesson and an opportunity.

I started Empowered Heart Coaching because I wanted to create something I wish I had in 2019

In Islam, the heart is known to be the locus of knowledge. When we choose to turn our heart towards God, we place our trust in him and free ourselves from plaguing doubt. In today’s post pandemic world, we are faced with all kinds of crises that create uncertainty and doubt. In order to manage these crises, leaders do not require answers, because often there aren’t any. What leaders need is a process. To help my clients, I created the acronym L.O.V.E., as a comprehensive guide to healthily navigate any crisis or challenge in work and life.

L– La illah illallah -there is no deity worthy of worship but the One God. Put God first in everything. Turn everything to Him. One’s relationship with God supersedes money, success, social norms, and everything.

O– Optimism- Have a good opinion of God and others. Seek the positive in every situation with hope and gratitude. Optimism builds resilience.

V– Voice- Ask questions with humility and kindness. Explore challenges with curiosity and an open mind. Questions are an essential component of learning about yourself and others.

E-Embrace and Evolve with whatever happens next. Be willing to accept discomfort and change because growth is not always comfortable or easy. Having good intentions and trusting that God is taking care of you enables one to adapt and overcome any growing pains along the way.

My most important lesson through my crisis has been to trust God in all that I do and experience. Using L.O.V.E. in leadership develops that trust.

Trust

Trust is what employees want in organizations. Trust is what effective leaders cultivate. Trust is what builds relationships.

I chose to study leadership and coaching because I believe we are all born leaders. Leadership is a choice and requires tremendous trust in something greater than oneself.

It is my hope that while working with my clients, I can establish the incredible trust that can guide them in triumphing over the challenges of the future with greater ease and freedom. We can lead with L.O.V.E.

I have learned that Trust (Tawakkul) leads to the belief in the Oneness/ Unity of God (Tawheed), which is the basis of Faith.(Iman)

Together, we can create the inner alignment you need to lead powerfully, with influence and emotional freedom.

I hold a confidential and safe space for clients to explore what is possible for them when they have full permission to be their authentic selves. I coach one-on-one in private sessions over the phone or Zoom, schedule today!
