Our story

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

My experience has been exceptional. The ability to bounce around ideas, solicit advice, and test out thinking with someone who has a different set of experiences and no vested interest, is liberating. I believe I am both a better leader as well as a more well-rounded person as a result.

Global Client Lead,

WPP plc

We held a series of team workshops when I was CEO at OneWeb to support us as an executive team as we planned and then lead the organisation effectively through the sale to Eutelsat. I am certain without this intervention the transition would have been incredibly difficult. I know that the focused team sessions will ensure we as a leadership team maintain alignment as we blend the best of the old with the new to bring about this transformation and growth

Neil Masterson,

CEO, Vialto

Not only have I benefitted personally, but my team has also grown stronger through what I’ve been able to bring back. The combination of workshops and mentoring has fundamentally changed how I approach my role, amplifying the impact I have across the organisation. I feel more confident, more purposeful, and more capable of driving meaningful outcomes for both myself and those I lead.

Michelle Primrose,

Chief People Officer at Forth Ports

I have a fantastic relationship with my mentor that has been built over an extended period, but which was established quickly at our initial retreat. The intensity and exploration of the retreat was a supercharged way of getting to know and trust each other from the start.

CEO,

Yell

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.
