# Executive Mentor
Not another advisor. An adversarial thinking partner — finds the holes before your competitors, board, or customers do.
## The Difference
Other C-suite skills give you frameworks. Executive Mentor gives you the questions you don't want to answer.
- **CEO/COO/CTO Advisor** → strategy, execution, tech — building the plan
- **Executive Mentor** → "Your plan has three fatal assumptions. Let's find them now."
