What we do

Working together with you

Our mentoring for leaders is delivered through a distinct approach: confidential, high-touch and tailored to each individual. We operate independently, with no agenda beyond the leader themselves. This creates a uniquely open and trusted space for reflection, challenge and growth.

Meet the Mentors

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

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,

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

There are some things that you can learn only from people who have been there and done it.

CS Venkatakrishnan,

Group Chief Executive, Barclays 

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.

CEO, Cognizant

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.
