Holding a coalition together when 193 countries want different things requires a specific kind of leadership. In this episode of "Power Play: Soft Power Unpacked," Penny Abeywardena sits down with Amina J. Mohammed, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, for a masterclass in leading without coercion. From the childhood lesson that taught her "we before I" to the moment she gave up her seat to a young activist in a room full of presidents, Mohammed shares how she builds trust, keeps people from walking away, and wields hope as an operational strategy—not sentiment. This is soft power in action: influence that compounds because people believe you, follow you, and feel safer because you're there.
