If you are curious about yourself…

About why you think the way you think?

Why you behave the way you behave?

And what is actually happening inside your brain as you move through everyday life…

Professor Andrew Huberman is someone you cannot afford to miss.

I have sometimes listened to one of his 90-minute podcasts and wondered how a single conversation could contain this much information.

Take the ideas apart, follow the research behind them, connect the dots… and there is probably enough material there whch sits in an entire PhD project...

Something I love about his work is that he takes neuroscience out of the laboratory and brings it into everyday life.

Sleep...
Focus..
Motivation...
Stress....
Habits....
Learning...
Relationships...
Performance...

Things we experience every day, he explains through what is happening inside the brain and body at the molecular level....

Protocols is his new book.

And I have a feeling this one is going to have quite a lot of material worth underlining.

With this batch 6 of Emerging Leadership Academy, we planned something special...

This is a fully funded program of Dow University of Health Sciences, where we select the students from the whole University and teach them basics of Leadership...

On the last day, instead of the usual shields, we presented our participants little potted plants.

There was a thought behind it...

We wanted them to take something home that would remain alive and grow in front of their eyes...

Something they would have to care for.

Something that would quietly grows with them.

It was to be a little reminder of what learning is supposed to do to us...

And then, this batch surprised us too...

While we had planned something special for them, they had planned something special for us...

They came with their own gifts, thoughtful, personal, filled with words and memories from the journey we had shared.

We gifted them plants because we wanted to see them grow...

They gave us memories that reminded us why we do what we do...

Perhaps this is one of the most beautiful things about teaching.

You enter a classroom hoping to leave something behind in your students, and every once in a while, they leave something behind in you too...

As Director of Emerging Leadership Academy, I am so glad that the sessions helped them in meaningful ways...

That little plant carries a simple message for all of us that we must keep growing.

Keep learning.
Keep becoming.

Perhaps, when we meet again someday, all of us, and the little plants of ours will have beautiful stories of growth to tell.

And perhaps, years from now, some of these plants will still be sitting somewhere on a windowsill...

And these gifts will still be sitting on our shelves...

Quietly reminding both us that, for a little while, our journeys crossed, and we helped each other grow.

May Allah put barakah in our journeys and make each of us a source of goodness and benefit wherever we go.
Ameen.

Thanking Prof. Asima Faisal , Mohammad Babar who share the teaching load with me..

Khurram Ahmed and Hassan for manging the backstage...

And thw Vice Chencellor Prof Nazli Hossain for showing her confidence in us...

How do You feel?

Whenever I teach Communication Skills, I share a simple idea:

Before you work on your communication with others, work on the conversation within and the conversation above.

Because when this communication is disturbed, it becomes difficult to communicate well with the world around you.

If you don't like yourself…
if you have little respect…
if your inner dialogue is constantly critical, anxious and conflicted…

How can you communicate with the world as a confident person?

I have been working with a client who struggles with confidence.

For the last few days, much of our work has focused on improving his state of mind.

Your state shapes your perception.
Your perception shapes your response.
And your responses shape your results.

If you are constantly irritated, frustrated, fearful, angry or unnecessarily sad, it will eventually lead to bad outcomes...

When you begin strengthening your relationship with Allah SWT, some of the unnecessary fear inside you begins to lose its grip.

Because you gradually develop a deeper conviction:

I am not alone.

There is Someone I can turn to.
Someone I can ask.
Someone I can rely upon.

And that changes the way you walk into uncertainty.

You begin to play more freely.
You face difficult situations.
You take calculated risks.

You move forward without needing guarantees about everything.

You do what is within your control…
and then you trust Him with what isn't.

“Then, once you have made a decision, put your trust in Allah.”
(Qur’an 3:159)

It reminds me of a beautiful clip I once watched.

A baby bear is being chased by a mountain lion.

The little bear runs desperately for his life.

He tries to cross a river, falls into the water, struggles against the current, and somehow reaches the other side.

But the mountain lion is after him..

It strikes him.

The little bear cries out in anguish.

Again.

And then something changes.

His frightened cry suddenly becomes a terrifying roar.

The mountain lion freezes.

The camera pulls back.

And there she is.

His mother.

Standing behind him.

The roar wasn't his.

It was hers.

And suddenly, that frightened little bear doesn't look quite so frightened anymore.

Nothing about the danger had changed.

What changed was his awareness of who stood behind him.

Perhaps that is true for us as well.

When you know Who you can rely upon, you don't necessarily get a life without uncertainty.

You develop the courage to walk through it.

So build that relationship.

Strengthen the conversation within.
Strengthen the conversation above.

And you may discover that your communication with the world outside begins to change too.

Within. Above. Outside.

I’ll share the clip in the comments.

Stay blessed.

Alhamdulillah, at least 17 people will begin a new journey with Numood Institute for Leadership Development on 4 September.

Thw doors to Emotional Intelligence fundamentals are now closed..

Emotional Intelligence Fundamentals is Numood’s first-ever cohort-based course.

It is only through the grace of Allah that He has enabled us to reach a point where we can begin this new journey with excitement, gratitude, and hope.

It could easily have been seven people teaching and five people learning!

So I am deeply grateful to every single person who shared Numood’s message with someone else.

And especially to those individuals, who trusted me at a time when there wasn’t even a solid product in front of them to evaluate.

(Today, Alhamdulillah, I have Alhamdulillah plenty of testimonials and reviews and showing someone evidence of our work is much easier now.)

But those who trusted us before the evidence was there will always have a special place in my heart.

People like Dr Maryam Rashid , Dr Saadia Tahir and Ms. Ambreen Asad , I will ever remain grateful to them...

I am glad that they have joined this course as faculty...

InshaAllah, over the next few months, we will be offering another course: Excellence by Design

If you would like to stay informed about what is coming next, I am sharing the link to my Substack in the comments.

Subscribe, and we’ll stay connected.
