I knew I was going to enjoy this book before I started to read it, as to any passionate, mentoring enthusiast, the list of contributors reads like a 'who's who' in the best of mentoring with chapters by some of the greatest global thought leaders and practitioners in mentoring ...

Developing Successful Diversity Mentoring Programmesfills a gap in the mentoring literature. The editors introduce the topic of diversity with sensitivity and awareness. They then bring together a comprehensive range of real case studies that provide a wonderful resource of examples of diversity mentoring programmes across a wide range of disability, gender, race and culture contexts. The case studies themselves examine necessary programme processes, such as matching and also consider the challenges and lessons learned. The book is informed, insightful and inspiring and will be of immense use to the mentoring community.
