Acknowledgements

The editor and chapter authors are very grateful to the Emerald editorial team for their support throughout the publishing process. The anonymous reviewers of the volume are also due thanks for their comments: we have considered these carefully and integrated them into the final version. Professor Guy Bingham, Professor Jane Ching, Professor Jennifer Leigh and Dr Tom Hughes (in alphabetical order) have generously made time to read various chapter drafts and offer mindful guidance, to help us articulate our messages about mentoring more clearly and impactfully.

This volume is an extended thank-you note to all the mentors who have supported the editor's and chapter authors' professional development and growth. They are too many to mention here individually, so instead we are expressing our gratitude by paying forward the valuable learning we have gained from conversations with them.
