What Readers Have Said

The Ripple Effect is not a method or quick solution to your networking strategy. Rippling should be incorporated into your everyday life as it’s really the cornerstone of building relationships. Don’t be a taker, “selflessness if self serving” changed my life!

Neil Reid

Amazing book! A Gamechanger!

I loved this book! As someone who is new to the "business world", I thought this book has been very valuable. I was a teacher before but I'm a personal trainer now. In order to have success I have to develop more of a business mindset. This book has taught me strategies that I can put in place right away. It has also taught me how to handle different situations. I went to my first networking event shortly after reading this book. I was a completely different person because of the things I learned. The book gave me more confidence to talk to new people and really showed me how important it is to talk to as many people as possible.

Everything we do has an effect. When we put kindness and generosity out, that's what we will find coming back to us. This book explains how and why this happens and more importantly addresses the impact this can have on our personal and professional lives. Full of stories to inspire and practical tips to get you going, this book is a gift that has changed people's lives. This is one of those rare books that you know immediately has changed something in you and you want to make it required reading for everyone you know. Lofty, I realize. But for me, it's been that impactful.

I picked up The Ripple Effect hoping to learn some tricks I could use in a current job search in the midst of my career. What I found was advice on how better to live my life and expand on both my personal and professional networks. I now find myself thinking of ways in which I can add value to other people in my networks and with whom I can connect them to make a positive impact. Powerful, concise, clear, simple and filled with insight - I would recommend The Ripple Effect to anyone looking to examine how the choices they make change the world around them.

I've been in sales and business development for over 20 years and I have read many books on sales and communication. Steve has written the first book I can recall that speaks truth into networking. True value in business relationships comes from the relationship, not from new conversational techniques. When we take the time to truly connect with people and when we put our focus in the right place (how can we serve others?), those relationships will bear fruit; and not just fruit for a season, but for many years to come. Thank you Steve, for keeping me focused on what's important. I'm already looking for opportunities to create ripples!

This book changed my whole attitude toward networking. Instead of approaching networking as a random activity that I know I need to do, but do halfheartedly and haphazardly, I now think of networking as a strategy. Thanks to the step-by-step process presented in this book, I have a clear plan designed to produce the maximum benefit for the time invested. I highly recommend this book for anyone who hates networking.

It made such a difference in both my personal and business relationships. Where I used to hesitate and then wind up loosing a wonderful opportunity, I think of Steve Harper and how what he said made so much sense...

Fredda L Shuquist
After reading this book, I have become even more encouraged to slow down and take the time to be a bit more attentive and show a genuine interest in the people around me - as Steve Harper puts it "Look beneath the surface" - You will never know who you are meeting or what they are like until you take the time to find out. This author speaks on opportunities that come our way because of "who" we know and not so much because of "what" we know. In looking back at some of the most amazing opportunities, in my life, this is so very true. These amazing opportunities were presented to me because of "who" I knew and the relationships that I had built!

I had the privilege of hearing Steve Harper in person. I was intrigued by his presentation and bought The Ripple Effect book. The question is "Does it just sound good? or Does it really work?" I decided to adopt his approach in networking. I found it to be an authentic and genuine approach, but the catch is that it only works if YOU are authentic and genuine...The information in this book has revolutionized my networking! Since I have started building relationships the Ripple Effect way, I have found some really wonderful friends! I highly recommend this book! Thank you, Steve!

The Ripple Effect is real!

The Ripple Effect is not just a book, it’s a movement. Reading the book is the first step in changing your outlook not only about your work, but also about your life.
