Greetings! It's difficult to believe that in one more month we'll be starting to gear up for the holidays. Make sure you're making the most of this pre-season.
Because it's something often overlooked, this issue is devoted to Building Your Image. If you're trying to get ahead at the office or get new clients make sure you take an honest look at your image. Do you look confident and professional? Or like you're wearing your mother's or, possibly worse, your daughter's clothes? (Best Bets of the Season.)
Whatever your position, nothing says credible like having your name in the paper or being on your local speaking circuit. With a little hard work and persistence, entrepreneurs on a shoe-string can begin by building their own credibility (Getting (Almost) Free Press). Speaking for free to local organizations is a great way to develop new clients (Business Leader, What Do You Charge For Talks?).
If striking out on your own is in your future, take a look at this issue's Spotlight: Getting Started In Consulting by Alan Weiss, PhD. This book came highly recommended by several. And I agree it's a winner. Be sure to read the expert answers in our What's New section below for resume tips from Annemarie Cross and stress-management advice from Frances Lylan Wolff.
And, if you know anyone else who'd enjoy reading The Career Intelligencer, please help us grow by passing it along.
See you next month!
It's your life, make the most of it :)

How to create your own opportunities
By Annette Richmond, MA
Each small business owner is on a similar quest. We're constantly on the hunt for new clients. While we know that the best way to get new clients is through referrals, it's difficult to grow a business through recommendations alone. It takes determination, drive and creativity.
Certainly, verbal and written testimonials are invaluable. When it comes to impressing potential clients, however, nothing lends an air of "credibility" like having your name in print. I'm not talking about an advertisement in the local newspaper, although that may be part of your overall campaign. I'm talking about getting you and your business on the editorial pages. Read More

Fall 2003
By Diana Pemberton-Sikes
It's that time of year again.
Shops bursting with fabulous fall offerings. Mailbags overstuffed with glossy catalogs. Closets woefully unprepared for the upcoming change of weather.
If you've been putting off adding to your wardrobe this season, now's the time to make plans to hit the stores. With the best selections available early and retailers reporting their best season in years, you might find yourself empty-handed if you wait too much longer. What's more, if you fill out your wardrobe NOW, it'll be one less thing to worry about once the weather grows cold. Read More

Business leader, what do you charge for talks? by Patricia Fripp, CSP, CPAE
