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 ...
