Sabina Nawaz
Sabina Nawaz’s best days are those that contribute to the growth of others,
whether they are senior leaders, frontline managers, or her young children.
Sabina grows through pushing the limits of her comfort zone and helps others
learn to do the same.
Sabina works with leaders and organizations that are very successful, yet, find
themselves held back from delivering fully on their winning strategies due to
an under developed pipeline for their next generation of leaders. Sabina has a
three pronged approach to address this issue.
1.
Help leaders already in place, and push them to:

Increase their self-awareness and operate from their strengths
and values

Deepen their courage

Build lasting relationships

Take charge of their future instead of abdicating responsibility or assigning blame to the organization at large

Change the status quo if they are dissatisfied with the current state of affairs
2.
Create custom leadership development programs that focus on identifying and then developing future leaders
who are most likely to succeed over the long term regardless of the current business challenges and the ruling
political relationships.
3.
Assess trends in the organization’s culture, integrate the leadership development work and identify potential
barriers to success.
Prior to starting her own business in 2005, Sabina spent 15 years at Microsoft, first in software development and then in
Human Resources. As Senior Director of Leadership, Management, Employee Development and then of Succession
Planning, Sabina launched several worldwide programs to help identify and cultivate Microsoft’s current and future leaders.
Sabina’s education includes a B.A. in Computer Science with a minor in Electronics from Smith College, an M.S. in
Computer Systems Engineering from the University of Massachusetts, and several certifications and advanced training in
leadership development.
