This is a review for the book Skills: The Common Denominator written by the Author: Asha Aravindakshan who sent me a copy of the book in exchange for this review.
I’ve been blessed these past 14 years to be able to work for myself but that doesn’t mean it will always be this way. Which is why I am always taking classes to enhance the skills I use encase one day I have to apply for a job. Which means I need to build relationships with the clients I work with.
Through Skills: The Common Denominator, I found skills I have failed at or didn’t know how to use. Which through the book I can learn and start to utilize these tools building my skills even more and making me more valuable to the clients I work with.
Not, only that through the book my word of the year “GROWTH” will happen not only in my business life, but also in ,y personal life and with my family. As well as allowing me to use Skills: The Common Denominator, in our Homeschool Class to prepare Charlie for job hunting when he is ready too.
