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.

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.
Really well read and inspiring

If everyone made tweaks and slight changes like Mary and her company did the world would be a better place.
Well worth the read. I listened audio read by Mary which I think set the whole thing off perfectly!
A refreshing take on a problem that touches us all

This audiobook and her podcast are essential listening for anyone who works in culture and engagement, and in fact for anyone who works.
My only bugbear was with the chapter on Mary’s own business, which was rather weighed down by a litany of values most of her employees must struggle to remember, let alone bring to life.
But her fundamental premise rings so true: we need to shake off the increasingly threadbare but still heavy cloak of alpha culture and bring our true and best selves to work if we want to build fulfilling and prosperous workplaces for the future.
I really enjoyed and got a lot out of this book - and will no doubt be driving friends and colleagues mad as I continue to quote from it. Sorry everyone but thanks, Mary.
An inspiring and witty manifesto for a more human way of working
