Mind the Skills Gap and Develop Yourself

For many professionals, it’s been years since their last formal training. Life and work get busy, but the demands keep changing — new tools, new expectations, new ways of working. That’s when the skills gap starts to feel real.

The solution isn’t always another expensive course. Sometimes, the smartest move is to start small, with practical self-development that you can put into practice immediately. That’s exactly what Sonya Grattan’s guidebooks are built for.

📘 Mind the Skills Gap: HR Basics

A clear, step-by-step look at the essentials of HR — perfect for anyone managing people in a growing business, without the jargon.

📘 Mind the Skills Gap: Becoming an Entrepreneur

Designed for entrepreneurs at their early stage, launching an idea for success. Think of it as a mentor you can carry in your bag.

📘 Mind the Skills Gap: Reaching the Next Level as an Entrepreneur

Designed for entrepreneurs which have already launched their business but who might benefit from upskilling further to become an even bigger success.

📘 Mind the Skills Gap: Project Management

Designed for individuals who have projects to deliver or who might want to upskill for their CV. A coach you can carry in your bag.

📘 Mind the Skills Gap: Financial Accountancy 

Designed for unqualified entrepreneurs or employees who struggle with financial terminology or preparation of their financial statements. A jargon buster.

📘 Mind the Skills Gap: Running Meetings and Wotkshops

Designed for manager and employees who struggle chairing effective meetings or facilitating strategic workshops. A real confidence boost.

Here’s how to get the most from them:

1. Read in small doses – one chapter at a time.

2. Apply straight away – test an idea or tool in your real work.

3. Reflect – note what worked and what didn’t.

4. Revisit – go back when you face a new challenge.

You don’t need a certificate to keep learning. You need relevant tools, bite-sized lessons, and the confidence to apply them. Sonya Grattan’s books deliver exactly that — a bridge across the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
