Stanislaw Consulting, under the leadership of founder, David Stanislaw, has been a foundation of guidance for not only myself as a turnaround CEO/President, but also for many of my business colleagues to whom I have recommended them. Since any company has challenges with teams and between individuals – especially those undergoing change due to mergers and acquisitions, and/or management succession transitions – the expertise Stanislaw brings in conflict resolution, executive coaching and overseeing succession planning tangibly results in measurable employee satisfaction, and positive culture evolution.

David initially helped us with succession planning for the business, which proved more challenging than one might anticipate. With his help we maneuvered our way through significant obstacles as well as some stressful moments. More recently we have spent our time focusing on Executive Coaching for myself. David’s coaching has afforded me a new perspective in many areas of the business. I’ve always valued our employees, and treated them as family, but with David’s guidance we’ve been able to further enrich this. We improved communication and implemented a management team that will be able to carry the business into the future. David’s experience as a psychotherapist gives him the ability to understand individuals, and communicate on such a level as to have the most positive impact on all of us, along with the ability to offer suggestions in the best interest of the company.

I worked with David Stanislaw over 9 years in three companies with different challenges and I am convinced of his ability to facilitate long lasting impact on organizations. Whether it is conflict resolution or team dysfunctionalities, coaching or assessments, his works shows tangible results and lasting effects. While it can be difficult for individuals to start the journey, they all come out stronger as individuals, as team members and contributors to the company.

I hired David to work with a young employee who had had a history of emotional trauma and had dramatically overreacted to feedback from her supervisor. Even though David usually works with C level executives, we hired David to help her, as she was otherwise a wonderful employee, and worth the investment.

Over the course of 3 months, the transformation was rapid and apparent to all of us. She and David set goals for her to work towards, and she loved the process, as well as feeling an immediate trust and respect of David’s abilities. She felt both empowered and thankful that we were willing to invest in her as a whole person, not just an employee.

People bring all of their same patterns and issues from their personal life into work, whether they realize it or not, and helping them become more whole human beings has a lasting ripple effect that helps them and everyone around them perform better.
