This week (8/10 to 8/16) on Work Matters we talk about how making a good impression can improve our work lives.

Are you trying to figure out how to stand out or create a positive impression? Or how to make sure you are the one getting the job, promotion, or business? You never know when the next person you meet is going to make a difference in your future. Are you prepared to positively impress, influence, or wow that person?

Discover how as I discuss personal brand building and impression building with two guests: Brenda Bence international branding expert, executive coach and author of the How You Are Like Shampoo series; and Frances Cole Jones, author of How to Wow: Proven Strategies for Selling Your (Brilliant) Self in Any Situation.
