Board Prep

Helps you prepare for board meetings by structuring your updates, anticipating questions, and framing issues for board-level discussion. You'd use this when you need to translate operational details into strategic narratives that resonate with directors, or when you're trying to figure out how much detail is too much detail. The interesting bit is how it forces you to think about board psychology and individual director concerns rather than just dumping metrics into slides. Works best when you're stuck between wanting to be thorough and needing to respect everyone's time.

/executive-mentor:board-prep — Board Meeting Preparation

Command: /executive-mentor:board-prep <agenda>

Prepare for the adversarial version of your board, not the friendly one. Every hard question they'll ask. Every number you need cold. The narrative that acknowledges weakness without losing the room.

The Reality of Board Meetings

Your board members have seen 50+ companies. They've watched founders flinch at their own numbers, spin bad news as "learning opportunities," and present sanitized decks that hide what's actually happening.

They know when you're not being straight with them. The question isn't whether they'll ask the hard questions — it's whether you're ready for them.

The best board meetings aren't the ones where everything looks good. They're the ones where the CEO demonstrates they see reality clearly, have a plan, and can execute under pressure.
