Have a Positive Impact During Challenging Times
Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.
Golda Meir
This site is designed to help people who want to improve our world by having a positive impact understand how they might do that. Resources for career exploration, all aspects of the job-search process and very actionable ideas about how you can have a positive impact during these uncertain times are provided. I have taken a very expansive view of the meaning of “common good” and “positive impact” so that this site can provide career and personal insights to as many people as possible. Hundreds of very practical and actionable resources and links are available here to help you reach your goals.
A central resource on this site is the recently published book, “Have a Positive Impact During Uncertain Times.” That book adds to the resources on this website while providing readers with a chance to submit positive impacts examples for possible publication in a follow-up book if enough examples are provided. See a further explanation of the book by clicking on this link…..
It is never too late to become what you might have been.
George Eliot
