Forget mentorship programs you may have experienced or heard about in the past. We are not them. We are so much more!

We don't care about your career.

We care about your life.

We won’t match you with someone simply because you have the same profession - because life is about so much more than a career! Our life mentors can work with you to set goals and enrich all of the things that make up a happy, fulfilling life. And more...

We are not what you're looking for.

We are who you're looking for.

The quality of your relationships determine the quality of your life. We focus on matching people who have common interests, similar careers and live locally, to help you connect with outstanding people that will help you get more out of life.

We are not local to you.

We are local to everyone.

We focus on finding local mentors for each and every mentee, wherever you are. Because while zoom is good, being able to meet in person takes your relationship to another level.

We don't go everywhere.

But we grow wherever we go.

As a community, together we have visited Spain, New York and Sao Paulo.Because what’s better than to get away for a while, as a community, to focus on our growth in a distant land?

We are not a mentorship program.

We are a mentorship community.

We are a 3,000 strong community in 34 chapters around the world. Our international online platform enables you to connect with people from around the world to benefit from their insights and wisdom and build yourself a truly global network.
