In this episode of The Talk by Mentorguru, I’m joined by David Clutterbuck — co-founder of EMCC Global, author of more than 80 books, and one of the true pioneers of modern mentoring.
Two years ago, we had a brief conversation about the future of mentoring. This time, we go deeper.
Together, we explore:
how mentoring has evolved from a movement into a mature professional field
what Mentoring 2.0 really means — beyond buzzwords like reverse and group mentoring
the role of technology and AI, and why the human core still matters most
insights from David’s upcoming book and how his thinking has evolved over decades
what truly great mentors have in common — and why learning never stops
failure, humility, and growth as essential parts of mentoring
the future of mentoring and coaching: global, ethical, and human
We also dive into an important and timely topic:
the Norwegian national standard for coaching — including competence, certification, delivery, education, and the critical boundary between coaching and therapy.
Do standards restrict creativity — or do they protect quality, clients, and the credibility of the profession?
This is a reflective, honest, and forward-looking conversation about mentoring as a conversation with purpose — and about asking better questions rather than having all the answers.
Listen in — and keep evolving.
AND, I am so sorry for the echo on my end, I hope its not disturbing for you, and it`s good that I don`t speak that much ...
