It's Who You Know: How to Make Networking Work for You
Who do you need around you? Networking is an essential skill; it's the key to your success. So why are so many of our connections superficial and transactional? And why do they get us nowhere in our personal or professional life? Maybe because we've lost sight of the fact that it's not about the quantity of connections you make, but the quality of the relationships you build and nuture.
From internationally-acclaimed entrepreneur and Fortune 500 mentor Janine Garner, It's Who You Know shows you how to build, manage and leverage your power network to create opportunities and drive success.
Networking still matters, but your network matters even more. With It's Who You Know , you can learn to connect with those who will add real value to your professional and personal development.

Positives:
- Additional resources available on her website
- Well rounded model to use when analysing your network of friends
Negatives:
- Very repetitive and the constant name dropping is nauseating
While I understand that a book about networking is going to innately include stories about people, it feels that Janine has simply lifted any, and every, reference to social networking and included it here in this book. This means that if you have little to no experience in reading anything business, career or self help orientated, you will be in luck with a treasure trove of thought leaders and studies to follow up.
For everyone else, give it a quick skim for the networking model and then spend the remainder of your saved time reflecting and cultivating your network.

This business book makes you think about being more intentional with your networking and which type of people to have in your growing network.
