Believe in Future – Amazing Mentor | Global Leadership Series 2025
A global initiative to identify, document, and amplify the journeys of leaders shaping the future through policy, innovation, enterprise, public service, and social impact.
About the Initiative
Believe in Future – Amazing Mentor, Global Leadership Series is a curated leadership initiative that documents and showcases the journeys of 400 leaders from 50+ countries every cohort.
We feature leaders from government, diplomacy, public service, entrepreneurship, technology, education, social impact, corporate leadership, security and policing, media, culture, and strategic communication.
This is not a marketing project or a vanity recognition exercise. It is an editorial-style, impact-led leadership archive, designed to preserve authentic journeys and share them with the world.
Core Purpose
To build a global, cross-sector leadership ecosystem where experience, values, and real-world impact are documented and made accessible to the next generation of leaders.
