Heather Stone created Getting the Right Hand Right® training after working with so many CEOs who needed a top leader but felt stuck because they did not know how to find, hire, and manage one. She provides executives in all industries with a practical framework to structure and manage a second-in-command role. Heather is a four-time company president, two-time business owner, and an award-winning instructor. Most recently, she was president of an outdoor products company that was named to the Inc 5000 and Utah 100 lists. She speaks for Vistage, TEC, YPO, WPO, and independent CEO groups, and has taught her flagship workshop to more than 100 Vistage groups in the U.S. and Canada in the last eighteen months. She was named a Vistage Top Performer Speaker in 2024. Heather has a PhD in organizational communication and an MBA. Her company, Practical PhD, helps CEOs get the Right Hand Right so they can finally sell, scale, or step away.
