Career Coaching for Students™ is the program that students in high school or college can use to gain clarity around their talent and learn about career choices that are a good fit to their talent. The program is successfully used by parents with their son or daughter (see “Buy it Now” above right), by school administrators and guidance counselors as part of a class curriculum and by career coaches for one-on-one and group workshop coaching. A facilitator’s guide is available for those wanting to deliver the content in a class or workshop setting.

Michael Dell enrolled as a biology major at University of Texas but spent more time fiddling with stacks of computer parts in his dorm room than hitting up the library. Instead of studying, he started selling new computers through advertisements in local papers.
Success Discoveries and Career Coaching for Students™ is very pleased to announce it is sponsoring a facebook™ group called Career Coaching for Students™. The idea to sponsor this comes directly from Step 15 in the program where we encourage students to “build” and leverage a network of people in their career of interest. “While this may be a social experiment very much like facebook was to begin with, we feel the need to connect young people to those who can provide a view into a particular career of interest is great. We are hoping this group will significantly help young people in the career research process.” stated Carl Nielson, Chief Discovery Officer of Success Discoveries and developer of the Career Coaching for Students™ program.
Over 50% of today’s college students will change their choice of major before they graduate!
65% of college seniors surveyed wish they had chosen a different field! Just think if those students KNEW what they wanted to do and were PASSIONATE about it before they even entered college. How much cheaper would college be for them if they didn’t have to change majors or take classes over because they lacked the passion to get through the course the first time? And how much better might they have performed if they were studying something they were passionate about.

YOU MAY BE THE WORLD! Brandi Snyder A teacher in New York decided to honor each of her seniors in High School by telling them the difference each of them had made. She called each student to the front of the class one at a time. First, she told each of them how they had made a difference to her and the class. Then she presented each of them with a blue ribbon, imprinted with gold letters, which read, “Who I Am Makes a Difference.” Afterwards, the teacher decided to do a class project, to see what kind of impact recognition would have on a Community. She gave each student three more blue ribbons, and instructed them to…
One of the classic studies that has stuck with me since college is by Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson which they described in their book, “Pygmalion in the Classroom” (Rinehart and Winston, 1968.). In the study, they administered an IQ test to grade school children that was supposed to predict which students would intellectually “bloom” in the coming year. The results of the test were turned over to the teachers, along with the names of the “bloomers.”

One of the things I find most rewarding about my abilities is the ability to give back. To that end, I don’t want to talk about myself. I want to share with you four people who are giving back.

I wanted to let you know how impressed I was with the guest interviewee who…
The assessment results were very helpful and fun to read about myself. I’ve got some work to do to choose the best career option for me but I feel much better about how to do the research and the career options that were suggested through the assessment results really helped narrow my interests. I was kinda scared before but now I’m excited about the future. The connection between majors, college choice and career choices makes more sense now.
I just wanted to drop you a quick note about the Career Coaching for Students program last Saturday that my son and I attended. With [my son] being a freshman, it was my hope that [he] would just come away from this program with enough information to begin thinking about his future and become more motivated about his high school studies. The results…
