Go Out of Your Way

Endorsed by Sheryl Sandberg, Reshma Saujani, Claudette McGowan and Takara Small, Go Out of Your Way is an inspiring memoir of Jodi Kovitz, a 42-year-old woman in a mostly all-male tech world.  She offers great advice: If you are generous to others, not only will it help them, but it will also boost your own career. With personal examples and insights from savvy business leaders, Kovitz illustrates the power of generosity and going out of your way to help people.


Kovitz also describes how other people went out of their way to help her when she launched #movethedial, a global movement to get more women into tech. Now she’s sharing her methods for creating meaningful relationships to empower women in tech and all lines of business.
