  • Deepti has been an immense help in both clarifying my own goals and in developing actionable strategy to achieve them. Along the way, she has been an invaluable resource as a source of unbiased feedback. Over the past year, she has challenged me to take a more ambitious approach to every goal, and the results are tangible. I recommend her coaching without hesitation.

    Medtech & B2B SAAS Investor

  • Deepti was instrumental in helping me expand my horizons as a leader. Through pointed questions, steady accountability, and a healthy dose of ambition, she pushed me to elevate my executive presence and actively showcase my expertise at the intersection of AI and business. I launched new thought-leadership content, secured external speaking opportunities, and sharpened the narrative around my work—all of which have noticeably boosted my professional visibility.

  • Deepti has been an incredible coach, she helped me grow as a leader, design the largest influencer campaign, we´ve ever run, and succesfully close a licensing deal we had been pursuing for five years. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a coach who delivers real, strategic results

    Covadonga Soberanis
    Founder & CPO

  • "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."

    Abhishek Singh, Senior Director, Capgemini Financial Services

EXECUTIVE COACHING - FOUNDER TO CEO

  • The feeling of having no options in front of you, so close to giving up was how I felt before Deepti’s coaching. She helped me understand the alternatives, exposed me to opportunities through networking and stay focused on what I was building!

    Randa Elbarbari

  • My coaching session as part of Stanford GSB Executive Education with Deepti was during a tough and uncertain time at my Startup. She brought me clarity and inspiration to keep going. I am happy to say we persevered and sold the company in May 2022.

    George Daaboul

  • As my Coach for Power & Design for Disruption at Stanford GSB, she instilled in me the energy to support my dreams. I extended my coaching with her twice. She drove me out of my shell to build brand and visibility. She is consistent and persistent !
