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

I was taken out of my comfort zone which made me think about things in a completely new way. Mentoring has been transformational for my executive development.

Managing Director,

Consumer, BT Group plc

Working with my Mentor has been immeasurably valuable in supporting me as a leader and an individual. From the initial power of our first session, the chemistry and connection with my Mentor was there, which has allowed me to be entirely open throughout our relationship. My role involved a move to a new country and our focus on me as a whole person has been really important in supporting my smooth transition.

Gillian Doran,

CFO, Anglo Gold Ashanti

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

There are very few places where a sitting CEO can speak openly, think clearly and be truly challenged in total confidence. Mentoring creates that place – and it does so with a level of integrity, insight and discretion that is unmatched. It is tailored directly to the realities of senior leadership – not in theory, but in practice. The mentoring is sharp, grounded and consistently focused on what really matters. For me, it has been a critical source of clarity during moments of pressure, complexity and change.

Sean Doyle,

CEO, British Airways

The programme helped me realise I wasn’t alone – the challenges I was facing were shared by others in the cohort and echoed by the senior leaders we heard from. It gave me the courage to keep going, to be brave and a resolve to return to my business and find ways to make it happen…I was challenged, supported, and encouraged to grow, and it made a real difference to my confidence.

Lenora Moore,

Senior Vice President of Commercial & Solutions Europe at CRH
