“Charming, witty, and fresh, Marcy Twete’s voice appeals to women of all career levels. At once educational and entertaining, You Know Everybody! is a must-read for professional women of any age. Simply a delight!”
~Stacey Beck, Independent Educational and Career Consultant“You Know Everybody! is for any woman who has ever uttered the words “I need to start networking, but…” Knowing what you want, asking for it, and receiving it are completely interconnected. We instinctively understand this, but still don’t know where to begin or how to go about meeting the right people and making powerful requests. Twete breaks it down brilliantly and reminds us that it’s never too early, or too late, to build a strategic network.”
~Jules Taggart, amp&pivot“This is a book whose time has come. Every power networker to aspiring networker should own a copy. There is a connection point for everyone to learn and grow from. Marcy Twete has phenomenally illustrated the path for women and girls to be successful networkers and learn to know everybody!”
~Meredith Douglass-Morales, Senior Diversity Recruiter, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago“Marcy Twete has done the impossible: she’s written a book on networking that’s not only intriguing and insightful, it’s incredibly entertaining. Drawing on her own personal experiences, as well as those of her mentors and icons in the business world, Twete manages to teach valuable networking lessons while keeping her reader on the edge of her seat, hungry for the next delightful anecdote. This is not your typical How-To book. Twete offers a fun and unique perspective on the subject of networking. You Know Everybody! is a highly enjoyable read that I recommend to all business professionals.”
~Kalei Kekuna, Global Marketing Professional“If you are afraid of networking or think it is just superficial “schmoozing,” this book will be a paradigm shift for you! Marcy helps you see networking as an authentic way to create meaningful relationships with cool people, like the friends you met in your freshman college dorm. Who doesn’t want to do that?! This accessible redefinition of networking is a relief for the busy professional who can’t imagine cramming more into her day.”
