In today's episode Soledad O'Brien interviews Resa and Adaira about their new book MicroSkills: Small Action, Big Impact published this week.

MicroSkills  is a business self-help book, and we focus on educating the ready for college, ready for work community, and early career professionals with specific, actionable, strategies of the workplace. We share our successes, failures, doubts, observations to help keep the book engaging and personal. We also share very detailed critical actions to gain the MicroSkills. We try to make no assumptions about our readers as we realize that not everyone is starting in the same place. Our book covers topics, such as how to be a polished communicator, how to navigate conflict, how to build subject matter expertise, how to learn your workplace culture, and more.
