Stibitz

What Stibitz does

Stibitz is a Warsaw-based professional services firm founded in 2011 by Piotr Ciacek, operating as a sole proprietorship (Stibitz – Piotr Ciacek) with 1–10 employees. The company specializes in mentoring, coaching, and leadership development, and is the first Polish provider to obtain EMCC EQA (European Quality Award) accreditation at both Foundation and Practitioner levels, making it the primary domestic pathway to EMCC EIA individual accreditation for coaches and mentors. Its portfolio centers on two EMCC-accredited cohort programs (Mentor Foundation and Mentor Practitioner), complemented by individual coaching and mentoring sessions, supervision services for practitioners, the INNER LEADER leadership program, Trail2Lead masterclasses, organizational consulting, and a published book on business mentoring.

Stibitz serves three primary customer segments: corporate organizations (e.g., Bosch, Unilever) seeking tailored mentoring program design and leader development; individual professional coaches and mentors pursuing international EMCC/ICF credentials; and individual leaders purchasing 1:1 coaching/mentoring or leadership programs. Pricing is denominated in Polish zloty (PLN), with training programs at 790–1,890 PLN net and individual session packages at 760–4,200 PLN net, supplemented by early-bird and alumni discounts.

The business is entirely people-delivered: there is no proprietary software, platform, API, or AI component. Distribution is direct via a Polish/English website, free 30-minute consultations, information webinars, and enterprise sales handled by CEO Elżbieta Różycka-Solinas. Strategic partnerships include Szkoła Mentorów Biznesu / Fundacja Liderek Biznesu (accreditation program co-delivery) and Fundacja Dorastaj z Nami (community mentoring program). Over 14 years, Stibitz claims 50+ organizational clients, 1,200+ leaders supported, and 100+ mentors EMCC-accredited through its programs; revenue is not publicly disclosed and the firm has no external funding.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• DDI (Development Dimensions International): Global leadership development company specializing in leadership training, assessment and coaching for large multinationals. Comparable to Stibitz in the corporate leadership development market and use of competency-based frameworks, but at substantially larger scale and with proprietary assessment technology.
• Center for Creative Leadership (CCL): Globally established leadership development research and training institution offering executive programs, coaching and leadership assessments. Overlaps with Stibitz's leadership development programs and INNER LEADER curriculum, but at much larger scale and broader geographic footprint.
• BetterUp: Global leader in enterprise coaching and mentoring at scale, offering 1:1 coaching, mentorship and AI-enabled development tools to Fortune 500 buyers. Comparable to Stibitz in addressing corporate leadership development, but operating as a venture-backed platform across global markets rather than a regional accreditation provider.
• Korn Ferry: Global organizational consulting firm with a large leadership development, executive coaching and talent management practice. Comparable in serving enterprise buyers of leadership development and coaching services, though as part of a much broader HR consulting portfolio.
• FranklinCovey: Global leadership and organizational performance training company (The 7 Habits, etc.) selling to enterprise L&D. Comparable in delivering corporate leadership development programs and masterclasses, but operating as a large, multi-product training franchise rather than a boutique mentoring specialist.

Emerging players

• Marshall Goldsmith Group: Boutique executive coaching and leadership development firm built around a globally recognized coaching methodology. Comparable to Stibitz as a high-credential boutique in the executive coaching/mentoring credentialing space, and a relevant template for how a founder-led firm can scale personal brand into global programs.

Others

• EMCC Global: The European Mentoring and Coaching Council, the global standards body that grants the EQA program accreditation and EIA individual credentials on which Stibitz's core differentiator depends. Not a competitor, but the central ecosystem enabler and counterparty to Stibitz's accreditation programs.
• International Coach Federation (ICF): Global coaching credentialing body whose PCC and MCC accreditations are held by several Stibitz trainers and competitors. Functions as an alternative credentialing ecosystem to EMCC and an indirect competitor for the same pool of professional coaches Stibitz trains.

Direct peers

• CoachHub: European-headquartered digital coaching and mentoring platform serving enterprise L&D buyers with accredited coaches. Closely comparable to Stibitz in target customer (corporate HR/L&D) and offering category (coaching/mentoring programs), though delivered via a tech platform rather than boutique in-person workshops.
• MentorcliQ: Enterprise mentoring software and program management provider serving HR teams with end-to-end mentoring program design and measurement. Directly comparable to Stibitz's organizational mentoring program offering, though delivered as SaaS rather than human-led facilitation.
