At 33, Jodi Kovitz was a lawyer with the uneasy feeling she’d chosen the wrong career. By 40, she was founder and CEO of #movethedial, a global movement to advance the participation and leadership of all women in tech—and living her passion and purpose. Along the way, she developed the theory that advancing was basically about having the courage to connect with others, show up for them repeatedly with a generous heart, and build meaningful relationships with them. Blending her own frank stories and tactical advice with insights from tech and corporate leaders, she provides a guidebook for moving the dial in career, company, and life and creating an enriched workplace.

“In this inspiring and immensely candid memoir, Jodi Kovitz charts her journey as a champion of women entrepreneurs and offers evidence-based ideas for how women — and everyone — can navigate obstacles standing between them and their ambitions. Her book is a rousing call for all of us to make the workplace and world more equal and more interesting.”
