Open Lunch with Executive Coach Gil Friend: Bring a real decision!

​Open Coaching Lunch with Gil Friend: Bring a real decision!

​Most founders and leaders carry a decision they keep circling: a hire, a pivot, a hard conversation they've been avoiding, a "yes" they shouldn't have said. In this small group, brown bag lunch, executive coach Gil Friend works live on those decisions with two or three people, with the room observing. No slides, no pitch. You'll leave with a clearer next step if it's yours and with a few tools you can use on your own if it isn't.

​Bring whatever you’re working on, like a leadership challenge, a stalled project, a career decision, or a priority you can’t quite pin down.

​Gil has worked in sustainability for more than 50 years. He’s advised Fortune 500 companies and cleantech startups, serves on multiple boards, and was named an inaugural member of the Sustainability Hall of Fame. He wrote The Truth About Green Business for FT Press, and wrote The New Bottom Line, an LA Times syndicated column that ran from 1992 to 2007.

​Today he works as an ontological coach and strategic advisor for leaders "building businesses that serve life," in AI, climate, energy, regenerative finance, food and ag, and more. His approach blends strategy, accountability, and deep inquiry—into what you truly care about, what you're truly committed to, and how you're living into your commitments. Gil transforms how his clients show up in their world, not only at what they’re doing to shape it.

​"This isn’t therapy and it isn’t consulting. It’s 'white glove, tough love' conversations to help leaders think more clearly, lead more powerfully…and stay chill in the midst of the crazy."
