Why are so many women leaving the workplace mid-career? Our fifth Change Shaper has the answer.

Sabina Bunger, an accomplished professional with over 20 years of experience in the tech and broadcast media industries, where she held prominent roles, including Head of IP Networks. After a successful career in media giants like Global Radio and GCap Media, Sabina pivoted to professional and personal coaching.

As a fully accredited senior practitioner with the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC), Sabina specialises in supporting women in tech and media, as well as leaders in the charity sector. We discuss how coaching empowers both individuals and workplaces, and explore a significant issue for all businesses across multiple sectors - why so many women are leaving tech mid-career and how coaching can be part of the solution.

This episode dives into critical topics such as why coaching is more than just “therapy for business,” how organisations can cultivate a coaching culture to foster inclusivity and retention, and the importance of empowering women and diverse voices in the workplace. Sabina also shares her insights on navigating career transitions, overcoming structural challenges, and adapting to the changing demands of the modern workforce.
