The Discovery Group
Professional Training and CoachingCalifornia, United States2-10 Employees
The Discovery Group operates as a small professional training and coaching consultancy formed as a partnership of two corporations owned by Barbara Thompson and John Roe. Based in Cameron Park, California, the firm provides consulting focused on improving personal and relational effectiveness at work. One active project involves advising a major organization in the greater Sacramento area as it shifts leadership styles, bridging the founders' culture with a newer generation whose values align with the majority of its clients. A first step in this engagement has been the introduction of a new employee evaluation process to support the transition, along with redesign and realignment of evaluation with the mission and ongoing initiatives. The work also includes re-education, reassignment, and release of current staff as part of building a more interactive team that moves away from previously isolated functions. The Discovery Group aims to maintain an ongoing relationship with the organization as consultants who are invested in its success and living out its mission.
