First Time Board Member Mentoring

Supporting leaders moving to board-level influence

Supports senior leaders stepping into Non-Executive Director and board roles; a different leadership challenge requiring a shift from operating to influencing, and from individual authority to collective judgement. Delivered through small cohorts and one-to-one mentoring, leaders gain clarity and confidence.

Best for leaders who want:

  • Greater confidence influencing without control
  • Clarity on how to contribute effectively in boardroom dynamics
  • Stronger judgement and presence at governance level
  • Practical insight into building consensus and asking the right questions
  • A confidential space to recalibrate leadership style for board responsibilities
  • Real-world guidance from experienced board practitioners

What it looks like:

  • Small, carefully curated cohorts for peer learning and shared perspective
  • Individual one-to-one mentoring grounded in real boardroom experience
  • Practical exploration of board dynamics, influence and collective decision-making
  • Focus on presence, credibility and contribution at governance level
  • Structured support to embed learning and build confidence over time
  • Optional tailored programmes aligned with organisational priorities

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.
