The global standard in leadership mentoring

Mentoring is one of the world’s oldest leadership traditions. For centuries, those carrying responsibility have sought the counsel of people who have already walked the path – not for instruction, but for perspective, judgement and wisdom shaped by experience.

Today, as leadership becomes more complex and more exposed, that need has never been greater.

Global Mentors Group was created to meet this moment.

Born of a long-held belief in the power of mentoring, we provide senior leaders with access to experienced peers in a confidential, unconflicted space.

As leaders rise, finding the right support becomes harder. Few people truly understand the pressures at the top. That is why we have built a world-class community of more than 200 senior business leaders. Over half have served as Chairs or CEOs of global organisations. They mentor through experience, insight, and deep engagement. There is no other community like it in the world.

Mentoring makes a measurable difference. For more than two decades, senior leaders have turned to our mentors for perspective, clarity and sound judgement. Evidence consistently shows the positive impact of mentoring on leadership effectiveness.

Guided by that knowledge, we support leaders as they move from good to great – and help them sustain excellence with the insight and clarity required for lasting transformation.

Our story

Built to support leaders and organisations

Global Mentors Group brings together several established mentoring businesses into one global organisation providing access to a broader and more diverse community of mentors, while working through a single trusted relationship.

We support Chairs, CEOs, senior executives, leadership teams and boards allowing organisations to develop leaders across multiple levels through one mentoring partner.

We work closely with organisations over time, enabling us to understand their leadership challenges in depth and match mentors whose experience is most relevant to each situation.

Great leaders rarely seek mentoring only for themselves. They want their organisations to thrive and the next generation of leaders to succeed.

Global Mentors Group exists to help them do exactly that.

“Today’s leaders are required to be adaptable and focused, to anticipate risk and to continuously learn and develop. The expertise and experience of our Mentors has never been more valuable for Senior Executives providing insight and perspectives.”

Sir Roger Carr,  Chair, Global Mentors Group

We worked with Global Mentors Group while bringing new leadership and extended leadership teams together for a number of workshops over a 12 month period. The team worked closely to help us clarify and deliver against our desired outcomes, and the sessions enabled us to significantly increase our trust and collaboration, while building a vision which has resonated strongly with our wider organisation and internal stakeholders

Global Technology company

Being part of the year-long conversations prompted me to reflect more than I otherwise would have done, deepening my awareness of how key self-awareness is in a Chair. Paradoxically, it has also increased my confidence that I will be able to chair well – in the right context. The significance of context emerged as even more important than I had thought – and not over-committing.

Former Group CEO,

Major European PLC

As the new and externally appointed CEO, it became swiftly evident that the company’s past successes would not be continued in the future without a major shift in direction, leadership attitudes and ways of working. They developed with us, coaching and then delivering an impactful 3-day retreat for the Group Executive Committee. The clarity of direction and the honesty, curiosity and respect for each other visibly grew over the 3 days and the momentum created continues.

Former CEO,

Puma Energy

We held a two-day workshop with my Leadership Team as part of our development activities to create a high performing team. The way the workshop was developed really helped us grow as individuals and as a team and in two days we were clearer on who we were as a team, what we wanted to achieve and how we were going to behave to achieve it. What really stands the test of time is that as a team we revisited the outcomes many times to ensure we were on the right track and truly were able to hold ourselves accountable. That workshop created the foundations for us to become one of the highest performing teams in the business.

Brendan O’Rourke,

Former CIO, BT Group

The Group dynamic was a complete surprise. We got to know each other both in and outside of the sessions. The group was pretty diverse in peoples’ individual styles and experience. I will have a core group of peers to touch base in the future.
