ONBOARD

Develop and optimize your team from day one by streamlining onboarding systems, setting clear expectations, and aligning new hires with your company culture and processes. Ensure early success and long-term retention through purposeful integration and role clarity. By structuring your onboarding experience to foster clarity, confidence, and collaboration early on, your team will reduce ramp-up time, limit confusion, and lay the groundwork for long-term engagement and success.

TROUBLESHOOT

Strengthen your team’s problem-solving capacity by identifying and addressing operational friction, communication breakdowns, or role misalignment. Boost performance by refining workflows, resolving team tensions, and implementing systems that support clarity and accountability.

With a structured approach to diagnosing and repairing team dynamics, you can quickly stabilize operations, restore trust, and create a renewed sense of direction. The result is a more cohesive, focused, and energized team—capable of moving forward with clarity and confidence.

LEVEL UP

Develop and optimize your team for sustainable growth by enhancing the systems that hold everything together. Strengthen your leadership bench, refine internal operations, and build consistency into how feedback, accountability, and strategic planning are practiced across the organization. Whether you’re preparing for scale or investing in a high-performing culture, this kind of structural support ensures that your people don’t just work harder—they work smarter, more collaboratively, and with a clear path toward continuous improvement.

  • "A few meetings into my work with Dr. Stone / Practical PhD I recognized all the interviews with Chief Operating Officer candidates and the extensive hiring process was the easy part. The hard part is the onboarding of the new COO in an efficient, constructive manner. I knew there were several items I needed to address but Dr. Stone helped me see there are so many more items that need to be prioritized to ensure success in this new relationship. Involving a true professional to guide this onboarding process to be by our side a made all the difference in getting off to a great start. Dr. Stone is a genuine professional."

    Norm Westervelt, CEO, Wealth Factory

  • "The message and information is very relative as a CEO of a company. Exercises that made you think but also collaborate with instructor. Timing was perfect for where we are at in our leadership journey."

    -Brad Gandy, President & CEO, Crystal Flash Inc.

“There are as many ideas about what a COO does or how they do it as there are CEOs. COO is the hardest senior job description to write in any organization.”— Cameron Herold, The Second in Command
