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

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

Few experiences truly prepare you for sitting in the CEO’s seat. Chair mentoring gives leaders the rare opportunity to step out of the noise and into a space of clarity, challenge, and reflection. The calibre of the mentors, the discretion of the process and the sharp relevance to what global CEOs are facing today make this unique. If you’re looking for something ordinary, this is not it. Their mentoring is different – and that’s exactly why it works.

Ravi Kumar,

CEO, Cognizant

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.

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
