Empowering families with proven strategies for mental resilience, parenting harmony, wealth building, and career success
My Journey: From Nepal to British Army to Life Coaching
Prakash Gurung | Life Coach & Founder of Growth Empower
Helping multicultural and military families bridge the gap between traditional heritage and modern challenges through the proven VIAR-KUSAC-GROW methodology.
If you're navigating bedtime battles, screen time struggles, cultural identity questions, or feeling torn between two worlds—I've walked that path with my own family across four countries.
In the Himalayan foothills of Nepal, my journey began. Known as the "Crying Baby" and descended from a World War I veteran, I was expected to be strong. When school failure brought cultural shame, I learnt that resilience is built through every step of the journey, even the difficult ones.
Today, as a Certified Life Coach, I use those lessons to help others navigate their own paths to success and family harmony.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. As your coach, I am here to help you take that step.Prakash Gurung
From British Army Veteran to Global Leadership
Thirty-five years of British Army service taught me invaluable lessons about human nature under pressure. From Bosnia to Afghanistan, I learnt what makes people rise. Moving my own family through four countries across constant transitions led to a vital question: What if resilience could be taught intentionally?
Overcoming Burnout with Growth Empower
My journey included the profound challenge of burnout. Recovery taught me that resilience is about rebuilding. This experience allows me to serve as a Life Coach with deep empathy for high-achieving parents carrying the weight of career, culture, and family.
The Deeper Truth About Modern Parenting
At Growth Empower, we look beyond behaviour management to emotional understanding. As your Parenting Coach, I help you build children who navigate difficulty with confidence, clarity, and resilience.
The Foundation: Strategies without an emotional foundation create temporary compliance. We focus on lasting transformation for the modern multicultural family.

Living Proof
My children are living proof that these principles work—even through bedtime battles, screen time negotiations, and navigating three different school systems. Today they're thriving in healthcare and technology, confident in both their Nepali heritage and British identity.
Raised across four countries (Nepal, Hong Kong, Brunei, UK), they demonstrate how strategic parenting creates confident, capable adults who navigate complexity with grace.
The VIAR-KUSAC-GROW Framework
Most advice is reactive: "Can't sleep? Try this." "Child misbehaving? Do that." "Stressed? Take a bath." "No money? Cut coffee."
But reacting to symptoms doesn't solve root patterns.
Strategic living means leading your life proactively with clarity about where you're going and a plan to get there.
I learnt this across 35+ years of military leadership, raising three children across four countries, recovering from burnout, building property wealth, and advancing through complex career challenges.
Strategy beats reaction. Every time.
