Description

In this episode of The STEM Career Coach, Sabina Nawaz joins Donnie Maclary to unpack one of the most overlooked truths in leadership: pressure corrupts, not power. Drawing from her experience coaching CEOs across 20+ countries and leading executive development at Microsoft, Sabina shares how emotional pressure leads to “junk behaviour,” how power amplifies its impact, and how leaders can manage it through courage, micro habits, and blank space. If you’ve ever struggled with leading under stress, this episode is your toolkit for showing up with clarity, compassion, and strength.
