Stonebridge Partners HR

Stonebridge Partners is a small business built to serve small businesses. Our focus is simple — provide smarter, fairer solutions for benefits, staffing, and payroll, while keeping people and relationships at the center of everything we do. We understand the challenges owners face because we face them too — and that’s exactly why we care a little more, respond a little faster, and always put integrity before profit.

CEO Stonebridge Partners. Simple guidance for complex humans.

After two decades in big and small business — managing billions, scaling startups, and chasing someone else’s definition of success — I realized what was missing: purpose.

In 2019, I co-founded Stonebridge Partners to do things differently. We help small businesses cut through the noise of overpriced benefits, complex payroll systems, and the staffing chaos that never seems to end.

Our mission is simple:
Build real partnerships. Craft smarter solutions. Keep business human.

Because at Stonebridge, we believe small businesses deserve big-league support — without the big-business nonsense.

I share what we’re learning (and unlearning) here on LinkedIn — join me, and let’s build something better together.

I am only a DM away. And you are inching closer to better services from someone who knows and understands the challenges of small business.

Project Manager

You’ve got the business, the family, the house, and the car.
 
Everyone thinks you’re on top of the world.  What they don't know ...
 
- Your stomach is in knots
- Weekends are spent worrying about the numbers
- One eye is constantly glued to your phone during family time
- You fantasize about “things being better” when you sell the business
 
I know what you’re going through.

For 8 years leading an 8-figure business with 250 employees, this was my life.

This is the life of a CEO who’s leadership has hit a wall.
 
The vision which initially brought success is now stale or feels out of reach.
 
The grind it out approach which led to fast growth, now makes life worse.

To try and loosen the noose around your neck, you might:

- Listen to podcasts on how to get “unstuck”
- Have books like Traction or Scaling Up sitting on your desk unread
- Attend EO, Vistage, or other business seminars on how to “kill the fear!”

Podcasts, books, and seminars DON’T get to the core of the issue:

YOU!


Now, imagine you know EXACTLY what is needed to TRANSFORM.

Your business provides, MEANING, ENERGY, and PURPOSE rather than stress.

It’s no longer a question of IF you will achieve your goals, but WHEN.

YOU are LEADING - YOUR WAY!

“How the hell is that going to happen Dan?” I hear you ask.

Here’s how I have helped over 50+ leaders, just like you:

➡️ 1-1 COACHING – a private and confidential setting to work on YOU & YOUR BUSINESS.

➡️ A PLAN – together, we will identify what is holding you back and create a CUSTOM plan to deliver more growth, ease, and fulfillment.

➡️ DATA – assessments to provide you with a clear picture as to how your leadership and emotional intelligence is currently showing up at work.

➡️ ACCOUNTABILITY – someone in your corner to hold your hand (or kick your ass) to ensure you do what you say you’re going to do.

➡️ UNDERSTANDING - a former CEO of an 8-figure business with 250 employees. A CEO who has been in your seat before, and understands the pressure to lead.

➡️ TRUST – an ICF Professional Certified Coach who has helped over 50 leaders TRANSFORM.

👉🏼 Shoot me a DM to see if we are a good fit.
