Episode Description
At the core of MicroSkills lies a simple yet profound principle - any significant objective, complex task, positive habit, or personal trait can be broken down into small, easily-learnable skills that can be honed and implemented in real-life situations. These skills, aptly named MicroSkills, can be applied to a variety of scenarios, from efficiently managing your to-do list and cultivating a positive professional reputation to becoming an expert in your field and improving your communication skills. MicroSkills is the brainchild of two successful women who have written a guidebook filled with valuable insights and actionable tips for individuals seeking to advance their careers without sacrificing their well-being.
Women, Life and Science
Wednesday at 7 AM Pacific on VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel
We are women, living a full life, have a professional career in science or in some form or another have been involved in the industry. We have stories to tell and knowledge to impart. We overcame challenges, uncertainties and continue to navigate the ever evolving professional and personal balance. We share in kindness and we share openly. We are grateful for many things. We have little regrets but easily forgive ourselves for our missteps. Women, Life and Science is the open forum for dialogue, knowledge presentations and story-telling.
