I would recommend SuccessFinder to others simply because it works. It’s a valuable tool that has worked for me and gave me direction when I needed it. SuccessFinder provides excellent insight for anyone trying to find a career, change career paths, or even further advance in their current field of work.

The SuccessFinder assessment helped clarify my strengths and weaknesses and ultimately pointed me toward the right career path/direction for me. Ultimately leading me to the fulfilling job that I take pride in today. SuccessFinder is a valuable tool providing guidance for anyone at any point during their professional journey.

Value for Job Interviews

The SuccessFinder clearly identified the vocational incentives and work culture I needed to succeed and be happy in one job vs. another. I used this insight to select the work environment where I could best succeed.

Coaching Expertise/Value

Barry was a fantastic help in understanding my own personal mindset and attitudes towards my work - not only was it affirming of my current strengths and gifts, but it allowed me to see better how to lean into the areas of my life where I need to improve.

The SuccessFinder assessment is thorough and amazingly accurate. It identified the gaps between who I thought I was, who I really am and how others may view me. With Paul Frederick’s interpretation, I was able to apply the insights from the introspection to better leverage my strengths, understand my constraints and wisely mitigate them.

The Talent Garden coaches bring a diverse, rich reservoir of corporate experience to their coaching roles – along with the seasoned wisdom of coaching me in a manner that enables me to live out my best self.

    The combination of the science and how it is interpreted and shared throughout the process truly resonated with me. Reading the reports and discussing them in depth with Barry felt, at times, like an exciting window into my soul, thoughts, and experiences accumulated over my career. Being able to define how I felt, my priorities, and what was important to me at this time of my life was powerful, enabling, and extremely satisfying.

Team Leadership and Effectiveness

It has created a greater clarity and appreciation for each team member's unique contribution to the team and also helped us create space for our own limitations without getting frustrated. Understanding one another better (in terms of our behaviors) has helped increase a sense of unity among team members.
