Our Story

Our founder, Michelle Duval, is a pioneer in new forms of learning, helped found the field of professional coaching, and created the world's first personal AI coach.

Using our crazy accurate people analytics tools, over the past 20 years we have studied the ‘human skills’ of individuals, teams, and the world’s top performers to consistently find attitude and motivation as the XFactors for performance, fulfillment, and well-being at work.

While Michelle was helping individuals and teams to achieve amazing things at work and in life, she grew increasingly frustrated by the profound disparity in who had access to the personalized support provided by coaches.

People analytics and coaching have traditionally been a privilege of the few — typically elite athletes, CEOs, and those who are famous.

Our team of behavioral scientists, data scientists, engineers, and coaches set out to create the world’s first science-powered professional and personal development platform everyone can use to achieve amazing things at work and in life.

Our Team

F4S is at the forefront of revolutionizing personal and professional development. We're driven by a passionate team of behavioral scientists, data scientists, engineers, and coaches who are committed to democratizing access to personalized support.

Our Australian headquarters is in Sydney, and our US office is in New York. Our team is also based in New Zealand and Europe. Join us in shaping a brighter future for individuals and teams alike.

“I joined F4S because I believe everyone has a right to a happy, healthy, and productive work environment.

After many years working for volunteer-driven for-purpose organizations, I understand the difference it makes when someone is truly motivated in their work, and how fragile that motivation can be when it’s not nurtured.

I believe F4S has the power to transform work for billions of people, making us a happier, healthier world.

I'm most proud to have worked on our Team Culture tools, which surface the affinities and differences in a team and foster understanding and productive disagreement instead of misunderstandings and conflict.”

Our Community

At Fingerprint For Success, we’re on a journey to bring together amazing and visionary humans. We’re building a community to help us achieve our mission to provide everyone with access to personalised human development.

We discovered there is a very real and deep yearning to work with like-minded people at this time. More painfully, many folk are struggling due to the pandemic and economic conditions. It became very clear to us that a safe space is necessary, a place where everyone can feel seen and supported.

A new community is needed where people can connect with incredible like-minded creators, designers, coaches, and people leaders. We see each person in this emerging community as global co-creators of the world’s future culture. We know that together we can do so much more than we can when apart.
