Our global network of language and cross-cultural professionals

We selectively recruit instructors, translators, interpreters, and cross-cultural trainers. For example, language professionals in our company typically have 3-5 years of relevant experience, are native or fluent speakers in their subject language, have experience either living or working abroad, and have a demonstrated track record of achievement within their area of expertise.

Our cross-cultural skills rooted in international experience and education

The professionals of StanleyMaria® have solid international experience. This experience enables us to better understand the complexities of cross-cultural communication and, more critically, the needs of our clients.

Our business, consulting, and problem-solving skills

Our approach is simple. We believe the success of most projects revolves around (1) critical analytical thinking, (2) meticulous planning, and (3) diligent execution. We do not compromise on these three steps.

Our program customization, accessibility, and availability

Unlike our competitors who offer rigid, "cookie-cutter" language programs and services, we distinguish ourselves by (1) understanding our client needs (2) assessing those needs, and (3) deciding the best course of action with the input and direction of our client. Our flexibility and commitment to help our client give StanleyMaria® an advantage over other language service companies.

• Persistence

• Spirituality

• Integrity

• Global Diversity

Stanley Maria, Inc. will be a model company for all 21st century organizations. We will set an example for the way people of many backgrounds and nationalities can work together as a team to provide a first-rate service.

In this sense, the type of organization I envision is one that not only encompasses our stated mission but also seeks to be a source of inspiration for other companies and, indeed, to individuals around the world. Our company will be one of continuous learning and development. The learning might come in discovering ways we can better serve our customers, ways we can better work as a team or ways we can creatively address communication needs around the world.

Our organization should and must be a place where one can be both an individual and part of a team. Diversity in thought, methodology, and action is critical to our success. Yet, above all, our organization should and must be a place that bestows dignity and respect to others in all our communications, activities, and associations.

Treating others as we would want to be treated is a credo that rests at the core of our mission, values, and operation.
