Reciprocal mentoring can strengthen mutual learning and encourage true partnership between participants. This book explores the design, development and evaluation of reciprocal mentoring programmes in six contexts: entrepreneurial, healthcare sector, third sector, education sector, private sector and membership organisations.

Reciprocal Mentoring is a resource for anyone interested in building strong and supportive communities of learning. This book provides an overview of what reciprocal mentoring is and how it might operate in a variety of organizational contexts. Through real-world examples and practical advice, the editors have put together a collection of case studies that feature three types of reciprocal mentoring experiences. What I appreciate most about Reciprocal Mentoring is its emphasis on the mutual benefits of this approach.
