Srijata Bhatnagar is a Setback Leadership Champion, Keynote speaker, coach, consultant, and author of two leadership books.

She works with CXOs, women leaders, and organizations to convert their setbacks into opportunities for exponential growth.

Srijata believes that setbacks are awesome when you turn them around to discover the opportunities hidden behind them. When confronted with setbacks, challenges, and adversities, we all have a unique standard mental process. We think, feel, behave, and act in a certain way amidst hardships. And most often, our cognitive processes are unproductive. Instead of leveraging the adversity to gain from it, our flawed mental processes push us further away, making us feel like a permanent failure.

With her deep work on the topic, drawing inspiration from her professional, personal, and entrepreneurial setbacks, she has arrived at a unique framework, Setback SOP, which attacks those unhelpful mental processes, helping them become better decision-makers amidst challenges. It enables them to create an internal system that stops them from doing useless and regrettable things during difficult times. It also provides them with tools to leverage the setback for growth.
Setback SOP erases those unproductive mental processes with the help of a three-dimensional approach.

1. Mindset
2. Processes
3. Tools

That helps leaders with a strategic approach to handling adversities, builds resilience, and pushes them to churn productive decisions even in a crisis. The gender-related challenges are one challenge that professional women face in their careers.
Her work has helped leaders flip their narrative from ‘𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘮𝘦!’ to ‘𝘞𝘰𝘸, 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘮𝘦!’ allowing them to leverage their adverse situations to grow exponentially.

Let’s face it. Mindset change can only achieve a little for leaders of today. We need a process that can stop us from self-sabotaging our careers amidst challenges. We need tools to help us shift from ‘Why me!’ to ‘Wow! It’s me!’ again and again until it becomes a habit.

Since 2017, her work has led her to inspire 50k+ business leaders in 10+ countries, give 100+ talks, write two path-breaking leadership books (Setback Leadership and SOAR) and numerous blogs, contribute to four anthologies, and host a podcast named Setback Leadership.

Srijata’s humble beginnings as a small-town brown Indian girl who faced many biases, stereotypes, and adversities in her career and life put her in an advantageous position to share unique perspectives around Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging. Her experiences make her extra sensitive to other people’s needs. Therefore giving her the edge to speak to them, for them, and about them.

Also, as a women entrepreneur who started two businesses, closed down one due to business losses, built another, and took it through relative success until Covid hit, it gives her a unique perspective on how to nurture sales in a challenging market situation, how sales leaders can leverage Setback Leadership mindset, processes, and tools towards exponential sales growth despite adversities.
