Lives & Relationships Improved

Jack McEwan, TX

"Stanley Black has been a great coach and mentor for me over many years. He has a gift for listening, breaking down problems, identifying interpersonal needs and growth opportunities, explaining them and suggesting actionable steps for progress. One example was his mentoring while I was a tenured software engineer, but struggling to get promoted to senior. Among other things, he coached me to practice briefly describing the work I did each day in terms of what value I was adding to my company. This helped me maintain a new perspective and practice value-based communication which was lacking and essential for my eventual promotion. If you’re feeling stuck, or just interested in how you can improve your personal/business relationships; I recommend you give Stanley a try"

"Stanley Black provided valuable insight at a tough time. My middle son was having trouble at school and began to pull away from family. Stanley spent time with him and shared his personality color with my husband and me. The information he shared gave my husband the additional tools we needed to work with our son in a way that was helpful to him. Thank you again Stanley for your time and patience."

"I'm writing this testimonial to share my experience with Stanley Black. He has an amazing ability to share powerful insights about the fundamentals of employee behavior and the relation to helping organizations to work more effectively. On several occasions, I personally reached out to Stanley to visit with a few of the teams I managed in an effort to help improve the effectiveness of my teams. He is a certified instructor of True Colors, which is an outstanding tool to improve team dynamics and productivity. After sharing his insights, my employees have seen immediate results in better understanding the different types of personalities/behaviors that drive them to act/perform in certain ways. These insights have helped my employees to better appreciate and respect their coworkers, as well as learned how to work more effectively together. Stanley's ability to facilitate these True Color sessions is terrific ... he is informative, helps you think differently, and makes it enjoyable/entertaining along the way. I very much respect Stanley and appreciate all he has done for our teams to improve their effectiveness and productivity. "

"Stanley performed a True Colors session for my leadership team several years ago. We loved submitting our personality questionnaires in advance and seeing the output in the session. It was clear from the presentation that Stanley is well rehearsed in the different personality types and has a passion for teaching. It was interesting seeing the different types manifested through the leadership team, and most particularly, the gaps in our EMG :) Of the four executives, three were green! Knowing this really helped me understand our diverse communication methods and their continuous desire for data - data - and more data :) Being an orange myself, I have a different way of thinking than most leaders in my chain and doing this exercise ultimately helped me understand how I can better meet in the middle with my peers and leadership. Even though this exercise was completed several years ago, my team still refers back to the findings often. I am thankful to Stanley for sharing his knowledge of True Colors with us!"

"As a people manager trust is paramount to being successful. What better way is there to connect with the team you manage than by knowing a little bit more about the individuals on the team and knowing how they think? True Colors dives into our thought process and helps us understand one another and how we think. This can be a somewhat complicated tool, if we really think about it, but Stanley makes it all very easy to comprehend and gives solid examples and scenarios to make it clear. While there is something to be said about an individual’s management style, having the True Colors tool in your tool belt makes knowing your team and knowing how to respond and coach each individual all that much easier. Having a coach to present the information and make it relevant makes it easier to absorb as well! Thank you, Stanley!"
