May 13, 2015 — This week on “Your Turn”, Tammy Flanagan, senior benefits director for the National Institute of Transition Planning, joins host Mike Causey for a one-hour, one-on-one talk about the pending phased retirement program. Flanagan is an expert on the program. In fact, she’s doing it herself moving from full time to part time. She’ll explain how it is working for her, and how it might work for you. Flanagan also has some surprises about the best-dates-to-retire, and the benefits of retiring sooner rather hanging around another few years. Also some tips for highly- skilled types at the CIA, Homeland Security, Secret Service, DIA and NSA about making a mid-career job change. Listen if you can. Or catch it later (all our Your Turn shows are archived). And tell a friend. There is something in this for just about everybody whether you are months or years from retirement.
