Success Tool Chest is a wholly owned Novacom International Limited Company. ‘Nova’ means ‘New’, ‘Com’ means ‘Communications’. New communications in some form always results in growth and is what propels our planet forward for the good of all. Success Tool Chest is Novacom’s consulting and coaching division. We have been providing coaching and consulting services to Canadian business since 2000.

Business is about people and numbers in its simplest form

Success Tool Chest is at the forefront of the coaching industry. Our programs are simple, sustainable and effective. We help coach the discipline in sales, mentor and employee evaluation programs. We benchmark employee satisfaction and personalities in leaders so we can coach owners and managers on new and progressive process. We measure, we coach and we help build effective communications flow within organizations. We understand the selling, accounting and people processes in a business. We have the people, the systems, and the track record to help. We are like business doctors. We are experts and professionals.

During the process any work group feels instantly uplifted and inspired. They feel heard and important because we asked their opinion on matters that are important to them and we find a way to make it all help the company we are working with.

We've assisted clients in almost all areas of business from finding alternative financing, developing custom sales and HR systems that inspire work-groups to out-perform, to analysing data and using it for coaching tools.

Novacom also operates The Speakers Bureau of Alberta www.speakersalberta.com where you can access the services of Alberta’s top speakers and experts in many industries. 

Novacom established itself in 1988. Between 1988 and 1998 Novacom operated cellular phone stores for Cantel AT&T and sold interactive voice response software and systems.

Novacom is lead by Mike Garska. Mike has over 30 years experience working in Candain business and a very successful track record. After a two year sabbatical for travel and writing, and following a personal passion for mentoring and helping others progress in peace of mind, Mike began offering unique business consulting services, workshops and seminars in 2000 through Novacom.

We've partnered with people who are recognized as being top performers in their fields. Each of our coaches comes with a significant successful track record of achievements and community support in their own careers, as does Novacom.
