15 Skills Every Woman Should Know

Things for women have changed drastically
over the last century. Our mothers and
grandmothers grew up in a different world.
To make it easier for you we are showing
you some skills that every woman between
the ages of 22-66 should know:
• Say No and Change Topic
When someone asks a question you want to
avoid use this skill for unwelcomed and
awkward question, play it down, say, “Oh
that! Now tell me about (insert a new
topic).”
• Learn to Cook (a little at least)
Master one delicious and crazy dish, make it
yours and use it to impress everyone who
eats it.
• Invest Money Wisely
Learn to invest money like a smart and
intelligent woman who knows how to
manage funds.
• Learn Directions
When people direct you to turn northeast or
southwest, act accordingly and do not get
confused, this is a sign of a smart woman.
Don’t confuse left and right.
• Initiate Conversation With Anyone
The skill of being able to have a
conversation will get you just about
anywhere. If you have doubts, ask and nod
sagely, this will also get you attention.
• Negotiate
If it’s groceries, salary, a house, or a car you
should know to negotiate in different
situations. Don’t hesitate to ask for a lower
price, do it because you deserve the best and
you are worth it.
• Posing For a Snap
This is important for many women, slightly
turn your head to one side instead of looking
straight into the camera. Sit or stand
straight with your shoulders back, don’t
press your arms against your body. Place
your tongue on the roof of your mouth and
slightly raise your eyebrows. Stick your chin
out to accentuate your jawline unless you
have a prominent chin.
• Remove Unwanted Body Hair
Including on your head, get your mane
shaped and trimmed! This makes you feel
more confident, get it professionally waxed if
needed, then show off your smooth skin.
• End a Conversation
Ending a conversation is as important as
starting a conversation, be graceful, polite,
and firm. Don’t lie, you do not owe anyone
an explanation, a good example, “It was
great to see you, enjoy the rest of your day!”
Smile and move on.
• Packing
Practice packing everything you need for a
weekend getaway in one small bag neatly
and quickly. Consider clothing that goes with
more than one outfit, shoes and handbags
that match everything, and don’t forget
chargers and medications. On a recent trip
one smart lady packed her medications in
sandwich bags and wrote on them with a
marker, much less bulky than all your pill
bottles!
• Never Forget a Name
Each time you meet someone new remember
their name, people who remember names are
interesting. Ask how to pronounce or spell it,
then say the name again. Think of something
to help you remember it, asking the origin of
their name is a great helper.
• Know Your Car
A smart woman knows the basic parts and
how they work: oil, brakes, radiator, engine,
transmission, spark plugs, filter, and
headlights. Know when routine maintenance
is due and have it done, shop around for
major repairs, and learn to check your own
fluids and change a tire!
• Keep Essentials Handy
Smart women carry cash, ID, cards, keys,
phones, lip gloss, breath mints, and
something to read in her bag. This will help
you out of tough spots and can keep you
from boredom when stuck waiting.
• Welcome New Neighbors or Co-workers
Greet them in a friendly manner and give
helpful advice, like the best places to shop,
eat out, or take breaks.
• Satisfy Yourself and Your Partner
Smart women can satisfy themselves and
their partners, in any situation they handle
things calmly and wisely. Compassion and
wisdom are guiding forces.
