Dr. Ruth Gotian and I were delighted when The Financial Times Guide to Mentoring was announced as the runner-up in the Leadership Book of the Year category in The Institute of Leadership awards last month.

As I went up to collect our award, the judges’ summary was shared. They said,

“This insightful and comprehensive guide was born from the authors’ recognition that effective mentoring is a vital need at every level. This guide offers valuable resources not only for mentees but also for mentors, it provides readers with actionable templates, solutions, and strategies, making it both an engaging read and a reliable reference.

Going beyond conventional mentoring topics, the authors address essential areas like neurodivergence, imposter syndrome, and executive-level mentoring, ensuring this book supports a truly inclusive approach.”

It’s still available from a range of outlets, and you can order it from your local independent bookshop too. For more information, visit mentoring-guide.com.
