There is a networking game to be played - and it's not the one you've been taught.
For too long, ambitious women have been handed a networking playbook designed by and for someone else. Work harder. Be more visible. Get out and network. Vague advice that doesn't deliver the results - especially when the rules of the game were never written with you in mind.
In The Social Billionaire, J. Kelly Hoey - author of Build Your Dream Network and a networking expert who has spent decades working with high-achieving women - reveals what the research actually shows: women who reach the top don't just network more. They network differently. And the most critical difference? They make networking with other women a deliberate, non-negotiable priority.
Drawing on years of research, interviews, and the lived experience of women who've ascended the corporate ladder, claimed board seats, launched companies and social ventures, and reshaped industries in the process, Hoey distills the pattern into a deceptively simple framework: Focus + Grit + Networks = Success. Then she guides you, step by step, on how to apply this framework to your ambitions.
This is not an admire-and-aspire book. Grab a pen. It's a hands-on roadmap - with prompts, exercises, and sharp tools to audit your current network, clarify your goals, protect your energy, and build the relationships that will actually move your ambitions forward.
If you've been doing everything right and still wondering what you're missing - this workbook contains the answers you're seeking.
