This week (5/4 through 5/10) on Work Matters we talk about steps we can take to positively affect our futures.

Often, we need both long-term strategies to impact our futures, and short-term, real-world tactics to affect a current situation. First, the power of connections is explored with the founder of The Ripple Effect, Steve Harper. Steve is also the author of The Ripple Effect: Maximizing the Power of Relationships for Life and Business.

Then, in the regular segment Uncommon Sense we answer listener questions, followed by Something to Think About where I offer ten job-finding tips with perspectives from both sides of the hiring desk.

I'd love to hear from you! Please call my new toll-free number (1-866-944-8195) and tell me what's on your mind or let me know the questions you'd like my show to answer. Or if you prefer, contact me with any questions or comments at workmatters@nanrussell.com
