Radha Mehrotra

Radha Mehrotra is the partner leaders call when the job is starting to cost them more than it should. Through Positive Synaptic Leadership LLC, she works with operators who are carrying real weight in banking, finance, tech, healthcare, startups, and more, helping them stay sharp, grounded, and effective when the pressure spikes. She zeroes in on the human problems that quietly wreck performance: reactive decision-making, unmanaged stress, emotional blind spots, and leaders who are technically strong but stretched thin. While most organizations treat self-awareness and emotional intelligence as soft add-ons, Radha treats them as hard constraints on execution and builds the internal capacity leaders need to lead cleanly in complex environments.

What sets Radha apart is her ability to dissect what is actually happening in a leader’s inner and outer game, then link it directly to their daily decisions and team outcomes. Drawing on coaching psychology, positive psychology, and neuroscience, she combines pointed inquiry, pattern recognition, and relevant assessment tools such as Hogan with practical, strengths-based strategies that work in real conditions, not just in theory. Her work helps leaders regulate stress, expand emotional range, and shift from autopilot reactions to deliberate, values-aligned choices. The result is visible in calmer rooms during hard conversations, more intentional leadership in periods of transition and growth, and teams that feel the difference even if they never see the coaching contract.

In high-stakes moments, Radha gives leaders a clear, steady space to think straight, feel fully, and still act decisively. Her style is grounded, confidential, and direct, with no theatrics and no clichés, just precise questions and structured practices that translate insight into new behavior. Whether she is working one-on-one or running a customized, science-informed workshop on resilience, burnout prevention, emotional intelligence, or manager-as-coach skills, she keeps the focus on what will move the needle now while building resilience for what comes next. Leaders walk away clearer, less rattled by complexity, and more capable of leading with both performance and humanity in view, which is exactly what today’s conditions demand.
