Where and When.
All coaching services are delivered in a virtual setting. That means convenience for you. We also recognize you may not be available during 'normal' business hours. We offer times regardless of time zone to suit any schedule, including early mornings, evenings and even Saturday mornings.
Our assessments are administered through an online easy-to-use system.
Job Search Coaching
Success Discoveries' job search coaching package is designed to provide everything needed to achieve your goals. And we mean everything.
Resume Writing and Personal Branding
Yes, it's about form, function and effectiveness. But a resume and LinkedIn profile are so much more than that. We strive for results. To get results, a resume and LinkedIn profile need to be concise, meaningful, chronological, consistent and correct.
Personal Development
Here are just a few of the more popular areas of focus:
• Career clarity and direction
• Workplace stress, work-life balance
• Communication skills
• Leadership development
We offer a customized approach to just about everything - except marriage counseling - but we've been known to help marriages too.
Student Career Planning
Our Career Coaching for Students™ program provides high school and college students with diagnostic tools, guidebooks, and personalized coaching to establish early academic direction, increase engagement and academic achievement, establish clarity of purpose, choose high-potential career options, choose college majors or vocational specialties, and build life skills.

Student-Parent Dynamic
Teen career planning demands student and parents work as partners. The parent is heavily influenced by anxiety surrounding college costs, student engagement and future teen financial independence. They may also bring strong biases based on their life experiences. Career Coaching for Students offers a proven solution to mitigate bias-generated conflict, structural academic friction, such as choosing the wrong major or failing to transition successfully into the workforce.
The "You Inc." Student Journey and Module Architecture
The high school Discovery Journey is divided into five primary modules, each designed to transform the student's mindset from a passive learner to a proactive career architect.
Modules-at-a-Glance
• Self-Awareness: Understanding You
• Career Lab: Investigating Career Choices
• Social Capital: Developing a Professional Network
• Strategic Roadmapping: Creating a strategic education supply chain plan
• Proactive Development: Identifying, developing and applying key soft skills for a successful life and career
21st Century Psychometrics with 21st Century Career Matching
Psychometric Foundations: DISC and the 12 Driving Forces
The Career Coaching for Students™ platform's competitive differentiator lies in its psychometric rigor combined with 21st century career matching rigor. Unlike simplistic interest surveys, CCfS utilizes the TTI Talent Insights-Career report, a "double-science" instrument that combines behavioral fit with motivational fit.
Institutional B2B: Schools, Districts, and BOCES
Career Coaching for Students™ offers the most substantial scaling potential for institutions.
Who is this for? High school principals, district superintendents, and directors of regional cooperatives (BOCES/BOCS Cooperatives) such as the Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) in New York or the Board of Cooperative Services (BOCS) in Colorado.
Our impact:
• graduation rates
• student engagement
• CDOS standards
We offer institutional pricing, bulk licensing agreements and assessment administration to meet the most stringent requirement.
About Carl Nielson
Carl Nielson started his professional career in human capital management (HCM). Little did he know, but his future was being defined when he was a senior undergraduate at Texas A&M University studying organizational psychology. It is there he stumbled into the science of using talent insights and data analytics to predict success. After a successful 20-year career in HCM (also known as human resource management), Carl launched his own consulting firm (The Nielson Group) in 2001 to address severe gaps he saw in the total talent management lifecycle of corporations. A few years later, he founded Success Discoveries to address the needs of individuals. Today, Carl helps a diverse range of clients from executives at the highest levels in global organizations to students in high school and college through both The Nielson Group and Success Discoveries.
While The Nielson Group focuses on organizational and leadership development needs of employers, Success Discoveries focuses on individuals who want to fulfill their potential. Carl also developed Career Coaching for Students™, a program for high school and college students.
"I've served clients in pretty much every industry and career field that you can think of. That is part of the attraction for what I do."
