  I Rejected Him. He Made History Anyway | Sharad Malhotra, Nippon Paint India

  Oct 1, 202651 minS3

  Send us Fan Mail Twenty years ago, Keith Power passed Sharad Malhotra over for a top job. Last December, Sharad became the first Indian in history to lead Nippon Paint's Global Automotive Business FROM India. This is the conversation about everything that happened in between. In this episode of The Power Within leadership podcast, executive coach Keith Power sits down with Sharad Malhotra, Managing Director of Nippon Paint India and head of its global automotive refinish business - a global category run not from Tokyo or Singapore, but from India. Sharad shares what it takes to build a business from scratch: starting Nippon Paint's automotive refinish business from a coffee shop with no office, no brand recognition and doors closing in his face; recruiting colour matchers from Delhi's poorest communities; walking painter floors during COVID when Zoom couldn't tell him the truth; and the expansion mistake that cost the company years. He talks about growing up in a Partition refugee family in Delhi, breaking the barrier that keeps local leaders out of Japanese multinationals' top jobs, and the question his wife asked that removed every doubt about taking the role: "Will you be able to live with yourself if you don't accept this?" A masterclass in resilience, consistency and building trust - from a leader who proves you don't need to be special to do something special. Keith's book, The Power Within: Ancient Greek Wisdom for Modern Leaders, is out this November.

  When the Dream Breaks, Who Do You Become Next?

  Jul 1, 202637 minS3

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The Power Within , Keith Power speaks with Quinn Harwood, also known as Coach Q, about adversity, identity, resilience and rebuilding after life takes an unexpected turn. Quinn came within touching distance of the NBA, signing with the Los Angeles Clippers before a devastating injury changed everything. But that was only the beginning of his story. Years later, he would face another profound season of loss: career disruption, bankruptcy, relationship breakdown and the painful collapse of the life he had worked hard to build. What followed was not an easy comeback story. It was a deeper journey of grief, faith, personal growth and transformation. In this conversation, Quinn shares what it feels like to stand on the doorstep of a dream and lose it, why broken dreams can feel like grief, how adversity reveals our growth gaps, and why the hardest internal work often becomes the foundation for a more meaningful life. Together, Keith and Quinn explore identity, limiting beliefs, spiritual growth, servant leadership, the six growth zones, and what it really means to discover your own power within. Because adversity does not just test us. It reveals us. And what we do with that revelation is where growth begins. In this episode: NBA dreams and the injury that changed everything The grief of losing an identity How COVID became Quinn’s “casualty year” Why growth gaps are revealed through adversity The role of faith, coaching and personal responsibility How pain can become purpose Why leadership fails when self rises above service Guest: Quinn Harwood, Coach Q Host: Keith Power, The Leadership Philosopher Podcast: The Power Within Tune in for an inspiring conversation that will leave you equipped with the tools to lead with confidence, overcome obstacles and unlock The Power Within email us at: info@motivuscoaching.com Subscribe, share and leave a review to help others discover the show
