    Mid-Career Momentum with Sharmin Banu

    Sharmin Banu is an executive leadership coach, speaker, and author of Mid-Career Momentum: Design Your Next Phase with Purpose and Joy. A former Microsoft engineering manager, she has spent the past 17 years helping leaders navigate career transitions, build resilience, and lead with greater purpose, confidence, and joy. Sharmin has coached leaders across Fortune 500 companies, startups, government, healthcare, and nonprofit organizations. She has served as the President of the ICF Washington State Chapter and currently serves in a leadership role with Braver Angels, where she helps foster respectful dialogue across political differences. Through her coaching, speaking, and writing, Sharmin is passionate about helping people grow as leaders while creating workplaces and communities where people can thrive. We get into what actually depletes people at the height of their careers, why hustle culture makes resilience harder, and the difference between chasing a title and chasing a vision that means something to you. Sharmin also walks through two frameworks from the book: the 3A model for navigating setbacks (acknowledge, analyze, act) and the 3C model for sustaining resilience (care, connect, create). If you're navigating a career transition, feeling stuck, or just trying to keep your own tank full while doing meaningful work, this one's for you.
