Greetings! Can you believe how time flies? Summer is fast fading into a fond memory as the holiday season quickly approaches. It’s difficult for me to believe that
Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away.
With this in mind, our next issue will focus on making the most of your holiday season. Don’t miss it! And speaking of the holidays, I want to let you know that we’ll be publishing only one issue of
The Career Intelligencer in December. I’m sure you’ll already have a lot on your plate.
This issue’s focus is Getting What You Want. Often the first step in finding a new job or beginning a new career is deciding what you want to do
(Eliminate the Negative). If a promotion is your goal, you’ll get ahead faster by leading a winning team
(The Art of Motivation in the Workplace). And if you want to win your next argument maybe you should take a break
(When You See Red).
Remember, one of the best ways to take your career to a new level is
being able to speak to an audience. If you'd like to become a better
speaker, pick up a copy of our Spotlight: 7 Steps to Fearless
Speaking.
Be sure to check out our What’s New section below. You’ll find all new answers from our experts including tips on planning an early retirement, reentering the workplace, starting a magazine and professional looks for long hair.
Have a suggestion? Please send your comments to me at arichmond@career-intelligence.com.
And, if you know anyone else who'd enjoy reading The Career Intelligencer, please help us grow by passing it along.
It's your life, make the most of it :)

There are few things that can elevate your career to a higher level more than the ability to speak in public. Whether you're speaking to a group of five or fifty. In the workplace, this includes things like presenting material to other departments and making a sales pitch to clients. If you're an entrepreneur, it may mean giving a presentation at your association's monthly dinner. Unfortunately, speaking to an audience is the Number One fear of American adults, according to a study published in the Book of Lists. And I believe it. Last year, I recommended a book on overcoming stage fright (In the Spotlight). That review prompted more email responses than any Spotlight to date. If the idea of public speaking has you shaking, I've found another resource, 7 Steps to Fearless Speaking by longtime broadcast coach Lilyan Wilder. Unlike some authors who focus on either overcoming stage fright or strengthening your presentation skills, Wilder does both. |

In 7 Steps to Fearless Speaking, Wilder begins by naming some of the fears many of us have about public speaking. Everything from "I'll look stupid" to "I'll lose my job." The rest of the book addresses overcoming these fears while becoming a better speaker. My favorite chapter is, Achieve Your Higher Objective. Also known as speaking from the heart. Here Wilder explains how to realize your values and incorporate them into your presentation. She also shares ways to dialogue with your audience instead of talking at them. Designed as a workshop, 7 Steps to Fearless Speaking is filled with assignments and exercises to help you develop your skills. Wilder covers everything from facilitating a meeting to planning a presentation on short notice using real-life examples to illustrate her points. Whatever your experience 7 Steps to Fearless Speaking can help you become a more polished presenter. It can help you speak with persuasion and conviction. And passion is what makes a good speaker great. |

A career change checklist
By Annette Richmond, MA
Many people are clueless about what they want to do in their next career. They know they don’t want to stay in their present position. But, they can’t decide what their next move should be.
If this sounds like you, know that you are not alone. Also know that with a little work you can figure out what to do next. The trick to getting unstuck is to change your approach. Instead of trying to figure out what you do want, establish what you don’t want.
Begin by listing all the jobs you’ve held. Then consider each aspect of every position. Write down everything that made you unhappy. Pretty soon you will see some patterns, patterns that will help you plan your new career.

Getting your staff on board
By Cynthia Steele-Pucci
Do your employees need a jump-start to get moving in the morning? Do you feel that they’re spending more time planning their vacation than actually working? Would you like to help them reach their potential? .
There are many ways to motivate people. The key is figuring out what works for each individual and why. One person may perform better when they get a pat on the back. Others blossom when they are given more responsibility. Some respond to flextime. Time is of the essence these days and anything an employer can do to help employees meet family demands does not go unnoticed. Still others are motivated by benefits and salary.
