""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 ... This book is a great reference for
anyone wanting to set up a diversity mentoring programme of any
type, as many of the lessons are very transferable. It is also such
a joy to read of the richness of learning that mentoring can bring
to mentors and mentees alike, a real treasure for the bookshelf of
anyone interested in mentoring programmes."
The International Journal of Mentoring and Coaching, Volume X
Issue 2, December 2012
"This comprehensive but concise book will be useful for any
coach or integrative coach who is engaged in supervision, wanting
to train as a supervisor, or seeking to understand more about the
supervision perspective."
AICTP Journal, November 2012
" "Developing Successful Diversity Mentoring Programmes" fills 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."
Dr Elaine Cox, Director of Postgraduate Coaching and Mentoring
Programmes, Oxford Brookes University, UK
"This book provides insightful analyses of diversity mentoring
principles and their application to real world practice. It is
highly timely, internationally relevant and should appeal to
scholars, policy makers and practitioners. In these pages you will
find a rich mixture of the best examples of mentoring case studies,
which shows intersections between diversity groups. The book is
particularly significant in amplifying differing voices by not
attempting to standardise language used by case studies'
contributors. Through the reflective questions in all sections, I
think the authors have done an outstanding job in promoting
engagement with readers."
Professor Uduak Archibong, Professor of Diversity, University of
Bradford, UK
"As a diversity practitioner working for a multi-national
organisation, I found this a great manual to dip in to for ideas
and advice on how best to use mentoring as a means of driving
behavioural and organisational change. The case studies are many
and varied and offer bite sized and very practical lessons. When
mentoring works, it affords both parties the opportunity for
personal growth, increased self awareness and increased
understanding of different perspectives - all of which are
essential to truly value difference. These qualities are the
foundations for that sense of inclusion that we all strive for in
our daily lives."
Sarah Churchman, Human Capital Director, Head of Diversity,
Inclusion & Employee Wellbeing, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP,
London, UK
" Mentoring has become an essential ingredient in the success of
diversity management in the workplace and in achieving societal
change to accommodate and value difference. This case book brings
together a wide range of approaches to designing, implementing,
sustaining and evaluating mentoring programmes. It explores what
makes mentoring work in a diversity context, and what undermines
it; what constitutes good practice and what to avoid.
The international case studies cover many different aspects of
difference, including race, culture, physical and mental
disability, gender and sexual preference, Thoughtful analysis of
these cases reveals many practical lessons for what does and
doesn't work well in different contexts.
Edited by three leading authorities in the field, this case book
is an essential companion for anyone aiming to establish a
mentoring programme in the areas of equal opportunities, diversity
management, or leveraging diversity.
