Celebrating 25 years of mentoring excellence
In 2025 we proudly mark a very special milestone: 25 years dedicated to strengthening mentoring, developing people, and supporting organisations in creating meaningful learning relationships.
This anniversary is not only a celebration of our own journey, but also of the thousands of people who have trusted us, collaborated with us, and walked the path of mentoring alongside us. Every mentoring partnership tells a story of growth and transformation, and it is these stories that truly define the impact of 25 years of work!
MENTORING SHAPES STRONGER WORKPLACES
A Milestone Worth Sharing - explore our 25th anniversary brochure
Reaching 25 years is not just about looking back, it is also about appreciating the partnerships that made it possible. We would not be here without the trust of organisations who believed in mentoring, without the mentors who gave their time and wisdom, and without the mentees who dared to learn and grow.
Every step of our journey has been shaped by collobaration. Whether designing large-scale mentoring programmes, facilitating training sessions for mentors and mentees or shipped mentoring tools and materials worldwide, we have always believed that mentoring works best when people come together with openness and curiosity.
Looking Back: A Journey Built on Mentoring
“When we started 25 years ago, mentoring was still a new and unfamiliar concept in many organisations. Few had formal mentoring programmes, and fewer still had access to research-based tools or structured approaches. Our mission was clear: to bring mentoring to life in organisations and to make it a trusted and powerful tool for development.
Over the years, we have designed mentoring programmes for companies, public organisations, and educational institutions. We have trained mentors, mentees, and programme managers. We have created methods, frameworks and the Mentor+Game™ that make mentoring tangible, practical, inspiring, and effective. Most importantly, we have seen how mentoring changes people by building confidence, unlocking potential, and creating a culture of learning and trust.”

The Mentoring Matters! Conference 2025
To celebrate our 25th anniversary, we hosted a special Mentoring Conference in Copenhagen. This event brought together professionals, leaders, HR specialists, and mentoring practitioners from across industries and countries.
The conference was more than just a gathering. It was a space for inspiration, dialogue, and reflection. Our keynote speakers shared powerful stories of resilience, leadership, and human growth. Participants joined interactive sessions, explored best practices, and exchanged experiences that will continue to shape the future of mentoring.
For us, the conference was a highlight of the anniversary year. It captured everything we believe in that mentoring is about connection, about learning with and from each other, and about building bridges across generations and perspectives.
Looking Ahead - The Next 25 Years
While anniversaries invite us to reflect on the past, they are also an opportunity to look forward. Mentoring is more relevant today than ever before. In times of rapid change, new technology, and shifting workplaces, people need human connection, trusted dialogue, and learning partnerships that go beyond traditional training.
We see mentoring as a key part of the future of work. It helps organisations retain talent, build inclusive cultures, and support leadership development. It helps individuals navigate complexity, strengthen resilience, and grow both professionally and personally.
As we step into the next 25 years, our commitment remains the same: to innovate in mentoring, to share knowledge generously, and to keep creating spaces where people can grow together!
