“Most of my outplacement candidates find the idea of networking deeply depressing but this book makes it seem almost infectiously exciting! I think they will find it enjoyable and hugely helpful.”

“The Reluctant Networker dispels the myths around networking and forces you to confront your own demons about taking the subject seriously and committing to action.”

As a small-consultancy owner, I always understood that networking was important but I fit into a definition Neil puts early on in his excellent book ‘The Reluctant Networker’: always preferring to email than talk on the phone. I’m glad then that a client project forced me to have to phone Neil up because it was that chat that led me to discovering his hugely powerful book. Very highly recommended.”

“In today’s world networking is essential not just to find your next role but to ensure you make a success of your current role. By taking the perspective of ‘The Reluctant Networker’ the book is essential reading for the many people who have realised the importance of networking but find that it does not come naturally to them.”

“Think that networking could help your career but put off by the thought of doing it? The Reluctant Networker shows you ways that you’ll find easier than you think.”
