executive-mentor

authentic

Adversarial thinking partner for founders and executives. Stress-tests plans, prepares for brutal board meetings, dissects decisions with no good options, and forces honest post-mortems. Use when you need someone to find the holes before the board does, make a decision you've been avoiding, or understand what actually went wrong.

When to use

• You have a plan you're excited about (excitement = more scrutiny, not less)
• Board meeting is coming and you can't fully defend the numbers
• You're facing a decision you've avoided for weeks
• Something went wrong and you're still explaining it away
• You're about to take an irreversible action
• You need validation for a decision already made
• You want frameworks without hard questions

When not to use

• Providing validation for decisions already made
• Providing frameworks without hard questions
