Team Mentoring

Building alignment, trust and performance

Designed for executive and senior teams looking to accelerate connection, clarity, alignment and impact. Team mentoring builds collaboration and accountability, resetting priorities and ways of working. Experienced mentors blend collective work with meaningful one-to-one follow up support, helping teams operate cohesively and perform as a high-impact unit.

Best for teams who want:

  • Greater alignment around purpose, priorities and ways of working
  • Stronger trust and psychological safety
  • Honest dialogue and constructive challenge
  • Improved collaboration across silos
  • Clearer decision-making and collective accountability
  • Practical support navigating complex dynamics
  • A team culture that drives results

What it looks like:

  • A tailored programme grounded in each team’s business context

  • Multiple mentors working together with the group

  • A golden thread of mentoring between workshops designed to embed and reinforce the learning from the team sessions

  • Carefully designed team sessions creating space for real conversation

  • A mix of retreats, workshops, and follow-up conversations

  • Ongoing adaptation as priorities evolve

  • Practical focus on behaviours, decision-making, and performance

Case study

Transforming an executive team to deliver performance

Team and individual mentoring rebuilt trust, accelerated decision-making and enabled a step-change in business performance.

Case study

Context

A newly appointed CEO stepped into an underperforming organisation where the executive team had low trust, cautious leadership and slow, consensus-heavy decision-making. Years of no growth had created a risk averse culture that constrained innovation, strategic alignment and commercial performance. The new CEO needed the team to reset how they worked together and adopt a more confident, future-focused leadership culture.

Case study

Challenge


The CEO faced the dual challenge of rebuilding trust within the team while establishing a leadership culture that was open, accountable and capable of making decisions at pace. The team needed clarity on strategy, alignment on priorities and the ability to challenge constructively. Restoring business performance required a shift away from caution towards innovation, collaboration and disciplined execution.

Case study

Approach

Global Mentors Group designed an 18-month team mentoring journey that combined collective development with individualised senior-level support.

  • Structured team workshops focused on trust, leadership dialogue and faster decision-making
  • Individual mentoring for each executive to embed behavioural shifts between sessions
  • Leadership development integrated into company-wide leadership forums to reinforce cultural change
  • Ongoing engagement with the CEO and executive sponsors to ensure alignment with business priorities

Mentors created a confidential environment where leaders could address real team dynamics, test assumptions and reset behaviours that had held the team back. The individual mentoring between workshops ensured sustained practical application.

Case study

Outcome

The executive team built stronger trust, clearer alignment and a significantly faster cadence of decision making. Leaders demonstrated greater confidence in taking informed risks, challenging constructively and driving innovation. This behavioural shift enabled a material turnaround in business performance.

  • 15% increase in EBIT within 12 months.
  • 10% revenue growth
  • Strongest fourth quarter in the company’s history

The programme helped the leadership team operate as a cohesive, accountable unit – moving the organisation from caution to confident, disciplined execution.

Testimonial

“This programme created the space our senior leadership team needed to reset how we worked together. It enabled us to build trust, surface what truly mattered and align around a shared set of values and ambitions. The work fundamentally shifted the way we make decisions and show up as a collective leadership team.
The impact has been tangible. We entered a pivotal strategic moment fully aligned and confident – and delivered our strongest results to date, including a 29% uplift in EBIT year on year and the highest margin across our business units. The shift in mindset, pace and cohesion has been a critical factor in accelerating our performance and setting a new standard for how we lead together.”

We held a two-day workshop with my Leadership Team as part of our development activities to create a high performing team. The way the workshop was developed really helped us grow as individuals and as a team and in two days we were clearer on who we were as a team, what we wanted to achieve and how we were going to behave to achieve it. What really stands the test of time is that as a team we revisited the outcomes many times to ensure we were on the right track and truly were able to hold ourselves accountable. That workshop created the foundations for us to become one of the highest performing teams in the business.

Former CIO, BT Group

The team have been working on both 1:1 and team mentoring for the last 10 months. We found the individual retreats very helpful with thoughtful, quality interventions and appropriate challenges from our mentors. As the leader of the team, I have found the time with my mentor very valuable in helping me to set out a clear agenda, actions and priorities for both myself and the leadership team.

Howard Watson,

Chief Technology & Information Officer, BT Group

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

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

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.
