Learn from Stories from the Best and Brightest

THIS BOOK IS AN INSPIRING CALL TO ACTION

for founders to become the protagonists of their own stories.
Through exemplary stories of successful founders, the book provides evidence that entrepreneurial opportunities are not limited by gender or ethnicity. Who gets mentored, sponsored, supported, and funded is not a function of the brilliance of an idea or one’s inherited attributes. But, an outcome of how one embodies inspirational qualities and influential convictions.

YOU WILL LEARN

about social science-based skills - converting ideas to conviction, brand building, and strategic networking to acquire influence and persuade investors and customers alike.

If you’re ready to create something from nothing, in building a company from “zero to one”, this book is in the right hands – your hands.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS I LEARNED IN WRITING THIS BOOK WAS

that all these Trailblazer Founders have been really BOLD in their beliefs, in the way they presented themselves and their ideas, and the way they have been getting out of their own way, and fearlessly investing in building powerful networks
and Influential Personal Brands. 

  • “In our first coaching call, she found my talk on my 30 years working experience a bit lame. Her response was; “Your 30 years working experience is wealth of knowledge that you are bringing to the table, give it power and change your story”!! Wow! I knew from that second that I have a great deal to learn from her! As my Coach for Power and Design for Disruption at Stanford GSB, she instilled in me the energy that I needed to support my dreams, and I extended my coaching with her outside of Stanford as well. Deepti is deeply passionate about supporting the less privilege and under-represented communities! She has driven me out of my shell to build my brand and to create visibility, which I used to shy from. She is consistent, persistent, and just will not accept for me to get complacent.”

    Nana Fatima Paturel, CEO of Anahata Consulting and Investment Advisory

  • "The feeling of having no options in front of you, so close to giving up was how I felt before Deepti’s coaching in Stanford GSB’s Building Power course. Understanding the alternatives you have and exposing yourself to opportunities through networking and building on that network. Staying focused was key!"

    Randa Elbarbary, Chief Operating Officer, ELB Group

  • "It has been a special experience to work with Deepti on my Power journey as my coach. She has an irrepressible will, coupled with an extraordinary energy. Her career and her open-hearted willingness to support me have inspired me greatly and encouraged me to be able to take my next career step in a timely manner. I experienced her as a role model to strengthen my groundedness and authenticity. For Deepti, colors stand for strength, and she stands for the diversity of colors in the world. I am delighted that such a multi-layered and inspiring book has emerged from her ability to design entrepreneurial networks and ecosystems."

    Rainer Hehmann, CTO & Member of the Executive Board, d.velop AG

  • "Deepti was there with me on my POWER journey - constantly stretching up to and beyond my personal limits. And as a great 'personal trainer' provided relevant 'carrot' and time to 'recover' after every home stretch. She held me to responsibility of my personal growth and explore wider understanding of my limits in work life."

    Andrii Kladchenko, Global Head of Omni channel integration, Phillip Morris

  • "I was very fortunate to have Deepti as my Coach during the Building Power to Lead course at Stanford LEAD program. She pushed me to look beyond boundaries, from inside-out to build my power story. Thanks to her coaching I successfully became the co-founder of Debed-Delighs Company, a bakery which is located 150km north of the capital city in Armenia. The site is well-positioned to become a meeting point of cultures, lifestyle and eco food and to improve the quality of life in rural areas.”

    Asya Dallakyan, COO, Centre for Research in Prospective Technologies, Armenia

  • "Deepti was my executive coach for my Power to Lead course during my time at Stanford GSB. She was instrumental in helping me to leverage my inner and underutilized - power skills. Her valuable coaching helped me to achieve a promotion and a salary increase in a short period of time after being back from maternity leave - a quite unusual event being a foreigner woman based in Germany. This has been followed a more recent move into a new company and in a key industry role I was aiming for. I cannot wait to experience what is coming next in her book.”

    Martina Nicodemo, Proposal Manager RWE

  • "A champion executive coach who just not pushed us to achieve success in Stanford GSB’s Building Power Executive education course, but created a platform, Stanford GSB Lead Incubator and startup Accelerator, LISA, that helped hundreds of founders convert ideas into successful startups. Her upcoming book is another feather in her cap, and am sure will help upcoming startup founders bring their ideas into fruition."

    Manas Ranjan Panda, Managing Consultant, Wipro Ltd.

  • "In Stanford LEAD, enrolling in the 'Building Power to Lead' and being mentored by Deepti was the best outcome I could have imagined. Working with Deepti for my power journey was not just fruitful but it also helped me find advocacy in my power path. Deepti's knowledge and experience is exceptional. Her guidance helped me secure a coveted seat in the 'Leadership Development Program' at my current organization were the odds of selection was 1 in 15000."

    Nirvik Pravin, Process Engineering, Stellantis

  • I can’t think of anyone better positioned than Deepti to pen her thoughts on power-building strategies. I have personally benefited from Deepti’s coaching, specially around the subtleties of power-building strategies. I am seeing those strategies playing out and helping me becoming bolder in my beliefs and tapping into other behavioral cues for power-building and influencing decision making in the right way.
