About this listen

‘I wish I’d been able to read this book when I was 20. Mind you, it’s never too late’ Clare Balding

In The Skills award-winning broadcaster Mishal Husain inspires, champions and encourages women to make their ambitions a reality by focusing on practical skills that make a difference.

Gathering together advice for women of all ages, whether they are new graduates, working mothers or simply seeking a career change, The Skills explains:

How to present yourself to maximum effect, in person and online

How to prepare for quick wins, big moments and plan for long-term goals

How to gain confidence and authority

How to navigate the ups and downs of a long working life and build resilience

Drawing on Mishal’s own experience, interviews with experts and with inspirational figures from Martha Lane Fox to Malala Yousafzai, The Skills will guide women in honing the abilities they need to thrive in whatever field they choose.
