About us

Success Discoveries was born as a division of The Nielson Group to address the needs of individuals wanting to achieve bigger goals in life and work. While The Nielson Group focuses on helping companies hire, develop and retain high performing employees and create more effective and collaborative work teams, Success Discoveries’ original vision was to provide individuals with access to a collaborative team of highly qualified coaches representing multiple coaching specialties. We found early on that most highly effective coaches neither enjoyed nor were very good at marketing their services. Simply put, coaches prefer to coach.

Today, Success Discoveries exists to bring the full power of coaching to our clients by providing the broadest, strongest and most competent array of coaches and coaching technologies available.

Coaching is a powerful process that helps people deliver success in their personal and professional lives. Through the process of coaching, Success Discoveries clients deepen their learning, improve their performance and enhance their quality of life faster than what they would experience on their own. This coaching relationship helps give clarity to the situation, create a solution and helps define the change to be made. Ultimately coaching accelerates the clients’ progress by providing greater focus and awareness of choices they need to make. Through collaborative teaming, joint strategies, and a collective vision, Success Discoveries coaches broaden and expand beyond individual capabilities to ensure that our clients receive comprehensive strategies, tools, and knowledge that enables them to move into their greatest personal and professional potential. We come together to promote and deliver the full power of coaching to our clients - coaching programs customized to each client�s individual needs. We deliver world-class coaching to an ever-widening population of individual and institutional clients who will experience prosperity and growth through coaching.

Our Long Term Vision

Our form of coaching will be viewed as a necessity rather than as a luxury. Our localized collaborative will be replicated in multiple geographies, thereby expanding human potential and social progress globally.

Our Core Values and Beliefs

Interdependence

There can be no friendship without confidence, and no confidence without integrity. Samuel Jackson

The members of Success Discoveries recognize the power and synergy of its interdependent nature. Valuing differences is the essence of synergy. The key to valuing those differences between people is to realize that all people see the world, not as it is, but as they are. The person who is truly effective has the humility and reverence to recognize his own perceptual limitations and to appreciate the rich resources available through interaction with the hearts and minds of other human beings. That person values the differences because those differences add to his knowledge, to his understanding of reality. When we’re left to our own experiences, we constantly suffer from a shortage of data.

Collaboration

To work together, especially in a joint intellectual effort. The American Heritage Dictionary

By working together to deliver services, the members of the Success Discoveries consortium reduce the risk of professional isolation and ultimately provide a better service to their clients.
We not only work collaboratively with our fellow coaches, we also provide a collaborative coaching model for our clients. Collaborative coaching is a supportive, practical and structured process by which the coach and the client work together to jointly chart a course to deliver the objectives. Collaborative Coaching helps the client and the coach be more aware of the process they are following and take joint responsibility for a successful outcome. So the client is not being ‘coached’ by the coach. Rather, it is a shared journey they both experience and take responsibility for.

With this shared process the client chooses the focus of conversation and content, while the coach provides a guiding framework they jointly use. In many ways the coach is verbalizing or making conscious the inner voice that we all have but often choose to ignore. Collaborative Coaching seeks to offer a supportive, practical and structured process by which the coach and the client work together to jointly chart a course to deliver the objectives.

Esteem & Respect for Clients and Each Other

Each of us has gifts and talents that must be acknowledged. By recognizing and appreciating each other, we become more effective individually and together. Clients experience a level of respect that gives them the confidence to explore and move to a new level in their lives.

Service

Success Discoveries is a professional service organization. We recognize the individual client as our end-customer and respond to their needs in an act of service. We work closely with our corporate clients to ensure our services are meeting their needs. We aim to exceed expectations at all times.

Openness to Learn From Clients and Each Other

We believe the ability to grow professionally and to ensure we are providing the very best coaching, coaching tools and technology requires an openness to learn from every interaction. We actively seek out knowledge in preparation for future challenges. Our coaching methods are constantly under scrutiny so that we may make course corrections and maintain the highest reputation for providing the broadest, strongest and most competent array of coaches and coaching technologies available.

Our Differentiating Principles

“The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

When clients engage with us at any stage, they get far more than any one coach can provide - they own our collective talents and wisdom. We draw on the wealth of knowledge of each other and share our expertise freely for the benefit of the client.
