Where we started
Mind Tools began as a blog in 1996, the brainchild of entrepreneurial husband and wife team James Manktelow and Rachel Thompson. They were driven to help people become more effective managers and leaders. That blog grew into a leading authority on career development, attracting over 2 million visitors a day.
Many of those subscribers were – and still are – HR and Learning and Development professionals. They told us they wanted an effective way for managers and leaders across their organizations to have access to Mind Tools. In response, we launched Mind Tools for Business in 2020.
Now, 24 million learners across 160 countries benefit from our inspiring learning resources focused on management, leadership and personal effectiveness.
