’Who is missing from my professional network?’ It’s a question I had never considered until reading Amy C. Waninger’s groundbreaking and eye-opening book. But it’s a question that gets to the heart of who I am ― professional and personally ― and how my own biases might be standing in my way of helping others, growing my company, and even catapulting my own career beyond my current aspirations and (self-inflicted) limitations. Network Beyond Bias is a book whose time has come ― a book that will improve teams, open doors, broaden careers, and bring a healthy dose of strategy, humanity, and perspective to the way readers think about the work they do, the hands they shake, and the success they achieve. Bravo to Amy C. Waninger for writing a book that’s not just ‘beyond bias’ but also beyond our greatest expectations for how a book on diversity and inclusion can be as inspiring as it is practical.

Amy's book Network Beyond Bias is more than just about expanding your networking circle to include people  you would not normally be attracted to. It's a book about the importance of expanding your network in general and the dividends an expanded network brings. I strongly recommend this book to professionals starting out their careers and those in the middle of their careers.

In five years after reading this book and incorporating her insights, you will see how her wisdom will have paid you preferred dividends.

There are plenty of do-this books in the world, but Amy Waninger's book blew me away. She approaches the practical, emotional, and professional opportunities that await someone willing to learn from and include "others" into their networks and lives. Fresh writing, important topics, and clear examples -- I read it in a sitting and came away with three pages of notes that I'll take into the next phase of my career. Buy it, read it, and benefit from it.

I would highly recommend Amy C. Waninger’s book, Network Beyond Bias: Making Diversity a Competitive Advantage in Your Career. The book does a super job of integrating the importance of diversity and inclusion with the “who’s and how’s” of networking. The premise is by having a diverse group of connections it expands possibilities and offers more innovative ideas.  Amy drives home the power of a diverse network and offers suggestions to overcome perceived barriers when getting to know individuals who may be different from oneself. The book is an easy read and is filled with useful information including a tool to assess and measure the diversity of an individual’s network.   Real scenarios of diverse challenges provide the reader the opportunity to explore a variety of perspectives.  The content included in the chapter, Seek Diverse Perspectives on Purpose, covers important facts about some of the most challenging and timely dimensions of diversity and inclusion. Because Amy shares some personal information and challenges she has experienced, after reading her book, I was left with the feeling of having a good sense of who she is and the value of what she brings to the field of diversity and inclusion.

A pragmatic insight into unconscious bias and the power of networks. A must-read for any executive who genuinely wants to capitalise on the benefits of inclusivity. 'Network Beyond Bias' will have a huge impact on not just raising awareness of our unconscious biases but also providing positive interventions to reduce and mitigate those biases This book takes us beyond the different learning platforms and into action.

This is an incredibly smart book. Brings a lot of new and practical approaches, which are "a-ha moment" inspiring. Nicely done, I'll be sharing it with many I work with.

I don’t think we can ever talk enough about uncovering unconscious bias, effective networking, and working toward greater inclusion. In this book, Amy uses personal examples and simple language to continue the dialogue and get us into action. If you do nothing else, be sure to complete the networking exercise in Chapter 33. This unique approach will uncover gaps in your network that you never knew existed.
