Hear what others have to say
As an experienced marketer, I was looking for some thoughts on 'what next', in terms of a career move. Rapti patiently heard my situation, and suggested practical steps on the best way forward. I was able to get validation on some ideas and clarity on others. If you are someone looking to get feedback on career moves, or marketing in general, I would recommend talking to her.

It was great to get so many insights and clarity with just one session. Her way of breaking down her own journey, using instances that best relates to your personal journey, brought a lot of relatability and maybe envision things a bit more clearly. Plus the fact that she shares real-world examples and frameworks is just the cherry on top, because that's exactly what a lot of people look for in mentoring/coaching sessions that too from people who come with a lot of experience and expertise. Hope to attend more such sessions in future!

I was feeling stuck in my job search, so I booked a session with Rapti, and it was an eye-opener. She shared so many insightful observations and helped me zoom out and figure out the approach and the way in which I should be approaching how to land my new role. The session had a lot of insights, actionable tips, and suggestions that I could start working with immediately. Highly recommend chatting with Rapti if you need a sounding board to discuss your career or job search challenges.

To have this conversation with Rapti is the much needed one for me. Especially while I'm struck between my career growth, 101 different advices and too much information overload from everywhere I just wanted someone to help me discover what I need exactly. I made the right choice to talk to the right person who is experienced to suggest what's my strength and weakness but also to tell that "it's just ok" wherever I stand now. Sometimes this is all that we require to bounce back and say to ourself that this is my best time of life and I'm gonna just make it through. Thanks a lot Rapti always for being that go-to person to help me explore the paths I have dared to see.
