I was lucky enough to find Rahul at a time when I found myself at a crossroads. Life had crept up on me and I felt overwhelmed trying to balance busy family schedules, work commitments and my own personal sense of well-being. Rahul helped me clarify my priorities in gentle and respectful sessions. This allowed me to make choices which I feel reflect my values as a parent, wife and physician. Without hesitation, I would recommend Dr. Gupta to any colleagues facing personal struggles at work or otherwise.

Dr. Gupta has an openness and presence that allow his coaching to be powerful and effective. As a doctor in transition to other work, I was assisted with great skill, respect and care as I clarified my direction. Humour and encouragement accompanied the process! I am truly grateful to Rahul and recommend him highly.

Rahul Gupta is a gifted coach who is in the arena with physicians to assist them to reach their own personal greatness. His thoughtful and creative guidance has helped me to move from a place of survival, stress and feeling ‘trapped’ towards one of possibility, space and growth.

Rahul made it easy for me to clarify my goals for our 3 months time together. He quickly helped me achieve progress and expose my self-critical thought patterns. Rahul prioritized me making my own discoveries. While he quickly put me at ease, he also challenged my self-perceptions and helped me draw out inner abilities I was not recognizing and built my capacity to reach for them myself. A humble, fun-loving and very warm communicator – Rahul helped me celebrate successes and reflect on set-backs in powerful ways. Compassionate and forthright, Rahul helped created openings in our dialogue that enabled me to begin doing the same many months after our sessions. He is a powerful communicator using a diverse mix of conversation, embodied visioning exercises and movement to provide perspective and evolve the level of engagement. I encourage anyone seeking support for challenging emotional, relationship or work situations to consider Rahul’s services.

I met with Rahul during my transition from school into a professional career. I knew I wanted to be really strategic and sure about my career path as I embarked on my job search. I was astounded at how well Rahul was able to guide me through my questions and after each session I would find answers and gather a very good sense of the directions I wanted to go in. Almost immediately I found suitable, inspiring work. It’s hard to explain, but I don’t know where I would be if I hadn’t taken those sessions with Rahul – they were extremely helpful and I would recommend his coaching services to anyone.

Working as a rural emergency physician and having a busy family life can be a challenge. Add in the CCFP-EM examination and you have a potential nightmare. This is why I contacted Rahul. He helped me work through my commitments and also develop a revision schedule to adhere to. Knowing that I had another professional to be accountable to, helped motivate me to get the study done. In addition, I was also able to focus on some other priorities in my personal life.
Recently I found out I passed the exam- what a relief. Working with Rahul was the best investment I could have made for assisting me through the process.

As an emergency physician in a busy Vancouver centre I found my self becoming increasingly frustrated by the demands of my profession. The result was poor patient interactions and decreased job satisfaction. After a few short sessions with Rahul and a few invaluable techniques I was able to engage my patients and colleagues in a much more constructive manner. I am much happier at work and as an unexpected bonus I find Rahul’s coaching has also had a very positive impact on my personal life. I found him extremely professional but in a personable manner that made the sessions enjoyable yet challenging. I have no reservations in recommending Dr. Gupta.

I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Rahul – I appreciate his energy, compassion and healthy dose of personal challenge. He always has the perfect exercise to help me accomplish the highest goals I have set. I now have a clarity of what is important in my life, and a confidence that was totally lacking 3 months ago. It has made a huge difference in my life!

“Rahul is a sensitive, brilliant and intuitive coach. As a result of working with him, not only have I increased my self confidence, reduced my stress level, and restructured my practice to fit ‘me’ more, I’ve also had FUN doing it.

“Coaching with Rahul was both fun and inspirational! Within 2 weeks of coaching, things started to shift and move forward. After three months I am astounded by how much things have progressed.

“Rahul’s unique coaching skills, intuitiveness and enthusiastic nature assisted me in working through several issues that I was struggling with on my own. And, as is the sign of any great coach, I came away from our sessions with a “toolkit” that I regularly use to address the many challenges and opportunities that life presents. My only regret is that I didn’t work with Rahul at an earlier point in my life!
