What do you mean -- is the answer something other than "find a good portrait photographer"?

That still leaves the question of how you find a good portrait photographer.

It also useful to discuss issues about what to dress, what kind of background to use, how to get nice looking body language and in general what photos are appropriate for the occasion. Do I want to signal that I'm nice by smiling? Do I want to look more conservative?

That's a different question and the answer to it is likely to depend on the context (are you in a big city? do you have friends who are good photographers? etc.)

and in general what photos are appropriate for the occasion

Do you think there are universal answers to these questions?
