Award-winning Executive Coach, Personal Empowerment Life Coach and Author Smita Das Jain announces the release of her fifth book, Leading With Words: How to Inspire, Influence and Drive Success as a Transformative Leader, brought out by Srishti Publishers & Distributors.

Positioned at the intersection of leadership and communication, the book fills a crucial gap in the professional development space. While there are many titles on leadership and several on communication, Leading With Words is among the first to combine both. The book recognises that today’s leaders cannot succeed without the ability to articulate vision, inspire teams, and influence stakeholders with clarity.

The book equips readers with practical strategies on:


  • Communicating with confidence in meetings, presentations, and high-stakes conversations
  • Building influence through assertive yet non-violent communication
  • Crafting compelling messages across formats, from email to public speaking
  • Navigating change management, crisis situations, and cross-cultural interactions
  • Leveraging listening as a powerful leadership tool

The book carries a foreword by Dr. Radhakrishnan Pillai, bestselling author of the Corporate Chanakya series, and endorsements from Shantanu Chakravartty (CEO and Director, WHSmith India), Sundeep Singh (Managing Director, Accenture Strategy & Consulting), and Nishant Shekhar (MD & Partner at a leading global management consulting company), underscoring its relevance at the highest levels of corporate leadership.

Her work has been featured on national television and in leading publications, and she is recognised as one of the leading executive coaches in Asia.

Speaking on the launch, Smita said:

“Leaders are often told to have vision, but vision without clear words rarely travels. This book is my attempt to ensure that no professional loses influence or opportunity because they could not find the right words at the right time.”
