From Individual Performance to Organisational Impact

At pivotal moments of change, growth or increased complexity, the impact of having the right mentor is profound. Global Mentors Group enables leaders to perform at a higher level by strengthening judgement, confidence and decision quality at critical inflection points.

This individual impact translates directly into organisational benefit – stronger execution, reduced risk, more effective leadership cultures and sustained performance that extends well beyond the mentoring relationship.

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. My mentor has helped me adjust to new roles and new environments, navigate challenging stakeholder relations and stay focused on what is important to me. She regularly reminds me how to use my strengths and gives me perspective. I know I wouldn’t have had the success I’ve had without her help.

Clare Gilmartin,

CEO

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

My mentor gave me a truly independent perspective, offering different points of view or approaches and often a framework to help thinking and decision-making. The total confidentially in the relationship ensured I had a safe space to reflect and think about what I needed to do differently in the future.

Mentoring in this way opens your mind to new ways of thinking, challenging the views and perceptions you previously held on to. It is nothing like any other coaching or mentoring experience.

Managing Director,

Private Banking, Santander UK

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.

The Original Mentor

Mentoring has its roots in one of the oldest leadership stories. In Homer’s Odyssey, Mentor was entrusted with guiding the young Telemachus while Odysseus was away — not by directing him, but by offering judgement, perspective and wisdom born of experience. This enduring idea of counsel, grounded in trust rather than instruction, remains the essence of mentoring today.

That same tradition sits at the heart of Global Mentors Group today. 

We exist to provide leaders with access to seasoned peers who have walked the path before them, offering the clarity, judgement and discretion required to lead at the highest level.
