I had a great discussion this past week on the topic of retaining top, young, talented workers with Barbara Penn Atkins, who previously owned and operated for an Executive Recruiting Firm and a Data Processing Service Bureau for 15 years.

Currently, Barbara is President of Penna Group in Phoenix Arizona
She works with individuals who are 2Young2Retire and have a desire to master life changes; and transition from where they are currently to a higher level of personal fulfillment.

Listen in below.

· Do you ever wonder why your competitor is better known?
· Why does “the other guy” get called for interviews with the press?
· Do you want your business to grow?
· Do you want more customers to know about you?
· Do you want to control your message?
· Want to create a new image?

If you answered YES to any of the above questions, you don’t want to miss this special interview with Helen Whelan, CEO of Success Television. This fast-growing media company focuses on providing self-improvement expertise through blogs, videos and DVDs.

Helen Whelan has over 30 years experience in media, starting out as a radio reporter and then becoming a national TV correspondent and Washington bureau chief for PBS’ Nightly Business Report. She worked at CNN for Lou Dobbs and successfully pitched Ted Turner to create the CNNfn, the first computer based network in the world. In 1999, she along with several colleagues from CNN left to start a website focused on baby boomers. That was the precursor to Success Television, which aggregates and provides videos and stories on self improvement in career, leadership, relationship, wisdom and wellness.

As a way to support you, Helen has offered two downloads and the fabulous podcast below. Enjoy!
