Mohit Misra has spent his career at the intersection of psychology and business, helping leaders tackle the challenges that no spreadsheet can solve. Educated at Harvard in Human Development and Psychology and with an MBA from the Asian Institute of Management, he went on to hold senior global leadership roles in talent and learning at Bank of America, Novartis, and Chemours, before serving as Senior Advisor at McKinsey & Company. Wherever he worked, the pattern was the same: projects didn’t stumble on process, they stumbled on people. That realization shaped everything that came next.
Mohit’s forthcoming book, Coaching Under 3 Minutes, is his answer to the perennial excuse that managers “don’t have time” to coach. He distills 25 years of experience into short, practical chapters designed for the speed of today’s workplaces. His framework rests on three simple skills—asking with curiosity, listening with intent, and helping others choose an action—that can be practiced in the space of an elevator ride. As he likes to say, “If you can’t coach someone in three minutes, three hours won’t help.”
What sets Mohit apart is the way he brings humor and candor into serious conversations.
