Our mentor network consists exclusively of senior executives from well-respected companies in a wide variety of industries. These are accomplished leaders who have held positions like CEO, CMO, CFO, SVP of Sales, and other strategic roles. Unlike consultants, they bring practical experience implementing the strategies they recommend. Before adding an executive to our mentor network, we insist on a live screening meeting to more deeply understand their qualifications, areas of expertise, and passion for mentoring.

We carefully match mentors based on your specific business challenges, organizational goals, and the unique needs of the individual(s) being mentored. We consider both technical expertise and personal compatibility to ensure productive relationships. We typically provide the client with a choice of 3-4 potential mentors and let them prioritize. A change in mentor can be requested at any time, for any reason. And in some cases, client participants maintain a relationship with 2+ mentors concurrently to ensure well-rounded guidance.

Consultants tend to gain their “expertise” through the experience of others and subsequently transfer that second-hand knowledge to new clients. At Mentorforce, our mentors have lived the experience with numerous successes (and failures) to show for it. They know what it is like to lead at a company like yours and can provide pragmatic direction as a result. And unlike traditional consultants who typically deliver recommendations and leave implementation to you, our mentors work alongside your team to put plans into action.

Engagement length varies based on your needs. We offer everything from short-term project engagements, to embedded mentors who help with systemic challenges for several months, to leadership development programs that include multi-year mentoring relationships. All engagements are flexible and can be adjusted based on your evolving needs.

Our clients typically see improvements in specific business metrics like revenue growth, operational efficiency, and profitability. Beyond measurable business outcomes, you’ll gain enhanced leadership capabilities, practical skills, and proven management systems that continue delivering value long after the mentoring relationship ends.

Mentorforce is specifically designed for companies with approximately 50-2500 employees—organizations large enough to benefit from executive expertise but perhaps not yet at the scale to maintain a full bench of specialized senior leaders in every function. That being said, we count Fortune 1000 companies and early start-ups amongst our client list.

Yes, in addition to 1:1 mentoring, we offer group mentoring sessions where teams can learn collectively from our expert mentors. This approach is particularly effective for cross-functional challenges or when building capabilities across departments. We also offer all mentees enrollment in Mentorforce University, a library of on-demand video content created and delivered by our executive mentors to address common business and leadership challenges. We find that MFU is especially helpful for early-in-career leaders or high-potential team members.

The process begins with a discovery conversation to understand your business challenges and goals. Once we collectively determine that Mentorforce can help, we’ll recommend mentor profiles that match your needs, arrange introductory conversations, and help structure the engagement for maximum impact. The entire onboarding process typically takes less than two weeks.

Our mentor network spans virtually every major industry, including technology, healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, retail, professional services, and more. This breadth allows us to match you with mentors who understand the specific market dynamics and challenges you face. In many cases, we are able to match you with mentors who have spent time in your specific market niche and possess a detailed understanding of your customers and competitors.

We offer flexible engagement models with pricing based on the scope, duration, and intensity of mentoring needed. We’re committed to delivering clear ROI for our clients, and we structure our fees to ensure the value received substantially exceeds the investment made.
