Gil Friend - Invidious

Gil Friend

Keynote speaker, strategist, and coach helping founders, executives, and boards navigate complexity and lead with clarity and purpose.

I help leaders see clearly in chaotic times.

I’m a strategist, executive coach, and keynote speaker working at the intersection of business, systems thinking, and the living world. My work blends rigorous analysis with ontological insight to help founders, executives, and teams make better decisions—and make them faster.

On this channel, you’ll learn how to:
• see patterns in complexity
• diagnose the real constraints behind your challenges
• align your team around a coherent, value-creating strategy

You’ll also find talks, frameworks, and episodes from Living Between Worlds—my long-running series on leadership, sensemaking, and the future of business.

If you’re guiding an organization through uncertainty, subscribe and stay oriented.
