Greetings! Thanks to the support from all our visitors, clients and newsletter subscribers, I’m happy to announce that this month career-intelligence.com is One Year Old!! And we’ll be celebrating all month with contests, drawings and special offers.
Our first drawing is for a copy of Be Your Own Mentor, a recently Spotlighted book by Sheila Wellington, president of Catalyst. To enter the drawing, forward a copy of this newsletter to three of your friends and cc me at arichmond@career-intelligence.com. That’s it! The winner will be selected in a random drawing later this month.
Don’t worry, I promise we won’t harvest your friend’s names and add them to our subscriber list. This is just a way of putting The Career Intelligencer in front of some new eyeballs. BTW, since this drawing is open only to newsletter subscribers your odds are about 1 in 500. Not bad.
We’re also celebrating one year online by opening a career-intelligence.com store. And because we’re a women's community, we’ve decided to donate $1 of every sale through Cafe Press to Breast Cancer awareness and research. In our next issue, I’ll be announcing another contest. Be sure to mosey over to the store between now and then, so you’ll be ready to enter.
Whatever your situation, this issue is packed with information. If you’re trying to build your business or get ahead at the office, take a look at Public Speaking, As easy as 1,2,3. Business owners will find some advice in How Do I Make Money In Today's Internet Fallout? And, if you want to find out what happened to Karen and Sally, don’t miss part two of Falling Up, by Sue Podbielski.
As I’ve mentioned before, starting next week some parts of the career-intelligence.com site will become Member’s Only areas. While membership will be Free, you will have to join if you want to continue full-access to the site.
Please feel free to send your comments or suggestions to me at arichmond@career-intelligence.com. Let me know what you want to see here and I'll try to bring it to you. And, if you know anyone else who'd enjoy reading The Career Intelligencer, please pass it along.
It's your life, make the most of it :)

Conquering Stage Fright It's been reported that most people dread public speaking. You've probably heard the joke; that most people would rather be in the casket than be giving the eulogy at someone else's funeral. If that sounds like you, In the Spotlight: Overcome Your Fear of Public Speaking and Performing may be just what you're looking for. Filled with practical advice and proven relaxation techniques, In the Spotlight, by Janet Esposito, can help whether you suffer from out-and-out panic or just butterflies doing the hokey-pokey in your stomach. Esposito begins by describing the symptoms of fear and the harmful effects of negative self-talk. You know that critical little voice in your head that says you'll forget what to say, look utterly foolish and maybe even faint if you dare to step up to the podium. |

One of my favorite chapters is It's Not About Me. Here Esposito discusses how the self-focusing and internal preoccupation associated with the anxiety of public speaking can create a cycle of negativity. She explains how to break this cycle by moving your focus off you and on to your audience. In subsequent chapters, she provides information on various relaxation techniques and insight into uncovering the root of your fears. I met Janet Esposito at a recent women's conference where she and a colleague, Ruth Sherman, were giving a workshop on presentation skills. Both women were informative and entertaining: a winning combination in my book. Their practical advice led me to pick up a copy of In the Spotlight. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that it was Esposito's own stage fright that led to the development of her two-day seminars and eventually her book. If you're looking for practical advice from a therapist who's been there, pick up a copy of In the Spotlight. It can help you get those butterflies under control. For more information on public speaking visit Janet Esposito's site www.performanceanxiety.com and Ruth Sherman's site at www.ruthsherman.com.

As easy as 1,2,3
By Anne-Marie Rennick
Public speaking is a great visibility vehicle. The power of the podium gives you instant credibility as an expert. The perfect clients filter themselves out of the audience and approach you about working together. In a 20 minute presentation you can reach 20 to 50 people at a networking event. Do you know how much that face to face exposure would cost in advertising dollars? Not only do you get to represent yourself for free you will get applause and a small gift as a thank you.
So why aren’t more people doing it? It might have something to do with the ‘I’d rather die than give a speech’ reaction most people have with public speaking. But if the lure of the applause and the magic of making an audience laugh, while building your business appeals to you even the tiniest bit then let’s give you some tool to make speaking easy.

Tips for business owners
By Darlene Cary and Lynne DeLuca
So your dot.com stock went - south, and the much-hyped Internet companies with their strange ads
have gone - well, somewhere presumably even more south.
What does this strange new reality mean for you, the small businessperson trying to make a living
in the real world? Is the Internet an over-promised business bonanza? Or is everyone else
hopping on the Internet millionaire's boat leaving you behind?
Let's step back for a moment, evaluate the situation, and then continue. Despite the fallout of
late, the Internet is NOT going to go away, and there ARE businesses using the power of the
Internet to succeed. And yes, they're companies just like yours. Read more
