About us

Founded by Tamara Thorpe, the Millennials Mentor, we are the new era of mentorship. Real Mentors Network is a platform that provides professionals equitable access to mentors. Mentoring improves professional growth and decreases turnover for organizations. Currently, organic mentorship benefits those in close professional proximity to higher level executives, and those who are aware of mentoring opportunities. Everyone wants to progress in their career, but not everyone knows where to start. That’s where Real Mentors Network helps. The Real Mentors Network community supports all professionals at every level of their professional growth with access to world-wide experts that match with mentees based on goals. Our platform automates access to quality mentorship connections through our custom algorithm, built to give equal access for all professionals to uplevel their skills and confidence - across mentors and mentees alike. Founder and DEI expert, Tamara Thorpe has spent over a decade helping leaders and organizations address equity and inclusion - leveraging mentoring as a key strategy for organizations to foster a culture of belonging. Real Mentors Network gives everyone the opportunity to connect and progress further in their career, with support from other experienced professionals. Hold your space. Join our community.

    Mentorship is a two-way street. While your guidance can shape someone’s career, mentoring is also a powerful way to develop yourself. Mentorship isn’t just about giving advice; it’s about sharpening your leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills. As a mentor, you have the opportunity to reflect on your own career journey, assess the lessons you've learned, and share them in a way that helps others avoid common pitfalls. In guiding someone through their challenges, you may even find new solutions to challenges in your own role. Mentorship can be a fresh perspective that revitalizes your approach to leadership, allowing you to grow alongside your mentee. Being a mentor at Real Mentors Network means expanding your professional connections and establishing yourself as a key player in building inclusive, culturally intelligent workplaces. The relationships you form don’t just benefit the mentee—they strengthen your own network and reputation in the industry. Ready to develop yourself while making a meaningful impact? Join us as a mentor today and unlock your potential. https://buff.ly/3C20K3b #becomeamentor #businessmentorship #businessgrowthexpert #entreprenurmindset

    Who do we help here at RMN? Introducing Taylor. Imagine, Taylor is 22-27 years old, and just landed their first job. They have high aspirations and are excited, but they're stepping into uncharted territory. The clothes feel weird and feel like they're pretending to be in the rooms they're in. Actively in next phase of life, but don't feel ready. That’s where the right mentor comes in! At Real Mentors Network, we connect mentees like Taylor with seasoned professionals who have been exactly where the mentee is—navigating the early days of their careers and unsure of the next steps. Our mentors help you adapt to their new work persona, build confidence, and find their own path. With mentors like you, students don't have to figure it all out alone. If you're interested in helping a studen, visit our website for more information realmentors.net. #careerdevelopment #careergrowth #mentorship #businessgoals #entreprenurmindset

    We believe in the power of diversity to drive innovation and success in the workplace. This #HispanicHeritageMonth, we celebrate the rich contributions of the Hispanic and Latinx communities to our businesses, culture, and society. Mentorship is one of the ways we help professionals from all backgrounds thrive. Hispanic professionals often face unique challenges in the workplace, and a lack of representation in leadership that limits access to mentors. At RMN, we’re committed to breaking down these barriers through our inclusive mentorship programs. Our platform ensures that professionals are matched based on their goals, not just their professional networks, empowering underrepresented individuals to connect with mentors who can help them achieve their full potential. Let’s take this time to recognize the vital role Hispanic professionals play in creating inclusive, innovative, and equitable workplaces. Together, we can continue to build spaces where everyone has the opportunity to grow, lead, and succeed.

    If you've been following us for a little while, you most likely know who our fearless leader is. But, did you know she is also one of our actual mentors? Let me introduce you to Tamara Thorpe, the mentor. Tamara is a world-renowned champion for Millennial and Gen Z professionals. With over 30 years of experience leading international and multicultural teams, Tamara has made it her mission to develop the next great generation of leaders—leaders who are equipped to navigate the complexities of today’s workplace. Tamara’s approach is simple: put people first. As she says, “When you train—and treat—your people well, everything else will follow.” Her work is rooted in the belief that great leaders aren’t born, they’re developed over time with the right tools and training. And in a world where leadership requires high levels of self-awareness, cultural competence, and the ability to engage across differences, Tamara steps in to guide emerging leaders through that journey. The modern workplace demands more than just leadership skills—it requires intention, focus, and the ability to adapt to complex cultural dynamics. Tamara understands this, and through her mentoring and leadership programs, she helps leaders embrace these challenges and grow into their full potential. #careerdevelopment #careergrowth #mentorship #businessgoals #entreprenurmindset #meettheteam #introduction

    There’s a reason why professionals with mentors are promoted five times more often than those without—it’s because mentorship works. We’ve seen firsthand how meaningful connections between mentors and mentees can lead to career breakthroughs, personal growth, and increased confidence in the workplace. Whether you’re a recent grad trying to figure out what to do with your life, heading back to school, navigating a career transition, looking to grow into a leadership role, or simply seeking guidance, a mentor can provide the support you need to get there. But mentorship isn’t just about career advancement. It’s about building relationships that empower both parties. Mentors benefit from the fresh perspectives their mentees bring, while mentees gain invaluable insights from someone who has already walked the path they’re on. Our platform ensures that these connections are made intentionally, aligning people based on their professional goals rather than just superficial similarities. At Real Mentors Network, we believe that everyone deserves access to quality mentorship, and we’re here to make that happen. Join our community today and discover the transformative power of mentorship. Together, we can unlock new opportunities for success.
