A Picture is Worth…

October 15, 2012

Some great con­ver­sa­tions.

I’m here at Soft­ware AG’s Process­World, our annu­al glob­al cus­tomer con­fer­ence. We haven’t quite got­ten start­ed yet and already I’ve met a bunch of peo­ple and had some great con­ver­sa­tions.

Big deal, right? Wel… you’d expect this to hap­pen at a cus­tomer con­fer­ence.

Except it hasn’t hap­pened at the con­fer­ence. It’s hap­pened in the air­port. And the restau­rant.

I’m not even signed in yet. And, that’s the insight.

I use a pro­fes­sion­al­ly tak­en head­shot, and use the same shot con­sis­tent­ly across all my inter­nal and exter­nal pro­fes­sion­al social out­posts (which by the way, does not include Face­book).

Peo­ple rec­og­nize me.

Recog­ni­tion cre­ates oppor­tu­ni­ties.

And when they run into me, they know my work, which makes it easy to start a con­ver­sa­tion.

Even employ­ees at large com­pa­nies need to think about cre­at­ing a career port­fo­lio out of their work and estab­lish­ing a per­son­al brand. Those that don’t are not only miss­ing out on some great con­ver­sa­tions, they’re mis­judg­ing the cur­rent employ­ment cli­mate.

If you like this post, you'll absolutely LOVE my book: 'The Elephant in the Room has a Paycheck: a fun & socially conscious blueprint to help the 99% get started investing'.

It's a quick read, and, if you can believe it considering that it's a book on investing, fun.

If you're looking for a simple and successful investing strategy, one that's purposely designed to keep you motivated, The Elephant's Paycheck is for you. And if you're already an accomplished investor, this book is likely for your spouse or your children so that they can become interested in what you're doing with the family's wealth.

    Hi David, I was curi­ous, how much does it cost to get a pro­fes­sion­al head shot tak­en?

      That’s a good ques­tion. I was able to trade, at the time, for some web­site con­sult­ing. Truth is, get some­one with a good cam­era (not an iPhone), put on a suit or busi­ness casu­al attire, and get your­self a pho­to tak­en with a clean back­ground. Make sure the head is big enough, that the light­ing and focus are right, and you’re good.
