About this listen
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Work Like a Woman written and read by Mary Portas.
By most people’s standards I would say I’ve had a pretty good career. I’ve reached the top of the ‘ladder’ and been lucky enough to have had a damned good life. But at what cost?
At the cost of who I truly was.
I played the business game for years, where the rules were set by men for men. I was tough and aggressive. I put in long hours, was competitive and resilient. But I suppressed my natural energy, sensitivity and instinct. I worked like this until I couldn’t any more. And then I changed.
My team and I rebuilt my business on the values that matter: collaboration, empathy, instinct and trust. Values not always associated with leadership or winning, but which have made every one of us feel good.
Now I want to share what I’ve learned through my own experiences, and am still learning, to change the way you work so that female energy and power will be seen as the most valuable currency in today’s new world of work.
It’s time to create an unstoppable force for change. A feminine force.
It’s time to #WorkLikeAWoman.

A compulsory for young women and men
Not sure about how to be a feminist - or why? This book gives you a lot of key starter info and acts as a great why and how to guide. Good food for thought and also empowering. Relevant for all industries.

Just brilliant!
I loved this book from beginning to end. What an inspiring story and it a rallying cry to women that the toxic masculinity we have to deal with at work every day AND outside of work is NOT OK. And there are things we can do about it. So wonderful to hear the journey of someone as successful as Mary Portas and how powerful it was when she started to tune and listen to herself and her intuition. Female power is what we need more of in the world. Thank you Mary for showing us the way!

A brilliant book for any woman (in business especially). I have gifted this book to 4 people so far and will keep on sending it until we see the change we need! <3

Mentor in a book
Thank you for this gift! I needed a supportive, strong, female guiding voice whilst going through a rough time at work recently. I feel stronger and supported as a result of reading this book.

Inspiring from beginning to end
A wonderful book, and a must read for women regardless of your work aspirations. Thought provoking in a way I hadn’t imagined. Really loved it and listened to more than once as I keep wanting to come back to it!

I like her authenticity
Really enjoyed the perspectives that Mary provides and how definite she is.
I like that she references her use of intuition within alpha environments too.

Inspiring call to arms
Mary Portas has such a powerful and common sense message. It’s great to hear her narrate this audio book. This should be mandatory reading for everyone from managers, husbands, women and everyone else. I hope this message gets heard far and wide because it’s about time that our world caught up to the strengths of women and how they can work I. A more equal world.

Really well read and inspiring
Mary Portas reads it’s so well with such passion.
Really enjoyed this. Not too heavy either. She manages to get the right balance of serious points and a easy listen. Great book that lends itself to the audiobook format.
