Briefings From The Green Book

Briefings From The Green Book takes its name from a time-honored military tradition. In the Army, “green books” are issued to leaders as personal notebooks to capture strategies, observations, and lessons learned in the field. These simple tools are more than just paper—they are a symbol of adaptability, critical thinking, and preparation. They serve as a guide in moments of uncertainty, allowing leaders to reflect on what’s working, what isn’t, and how to adapt to meet the mission. This blog embraces that same spirit, offering a space to document, dissect, and share insights on leadership, strategy, and growth for those navigating the complexities of startups, coaching, and beyond.

Briefings From The Green Book are not a prescriptive playbook or a collection of feel-good clichés. It’s a critique of conventional wisdom, a challenge to the status quo, and an exploration of what truly drives success in high-stakes environments. Readers will find practical tools, military analogies, and contrarian perspectives designed to spark critical thinking and inspire action. It’s not here to hand you all the answers or pretend there’s a one-size-fits-all solution—it’s here to help you question, adapt, and grow. Whether you’re a founder, a leader, or simply someone who thrives on curiosity and challenge, this is your guide to navigating complexity with clarity and purpose.

The Truth About Executive Coaching: What It Is, What It Isn't, and Why Founders Need It

Many founders believe coaching is only for late-stage companies, but the truth is, executive coaching for startup founders is one of the most powerful tools for long-term success. Unlike consultants who prescribe solutions or mentors who share personal experiences, a great coach helps you uncover your own best answers—empowering you to lead with clarity, confidence, and strategic focus.

Coaching isn’t about quick fixes or cookie-cutter frameworks. It’s about breaking through limiting beliefs, making high-stakes decisions with conviction, and sustaining peak performance—all while managing the chaos of building a company.

The best founders don’t just want feedback—they crave it. Coaching provides a judgment-free space where you can challenge assumptions, reframe challenges, and unlock insights that accelerate growth. If you’re ready to invest in your leadership, avoid the pitfalls of bad advice, and take your startup to the next level, it’s time to explore the power of coaching.
