However, the fact that I know you are an authority, and you know you are an authority, isn’t quite enough in most cases. You generally need to convince others that you are an authority, so that they then have a compelling reason for listening to what you have to say.

Wed, 14 May 2008 17:47:10 +0000 http://www.dazzlindonna.com/blog/?p=384#comment-8823 Hello Donna, Great words of inspiration! It made me feel so much better. You have presented many valid points, which (I think) many of us do not give enough credit for. I believe it's the confidence factor that drives the wedge in between a person's actual knowledge in a particular subject matter and how formally educated they are on the subject matter. I think most people feel if they have not been formally trained then they do not deserve credit to deem themselves an "expert." Although, the word itself presents a strong presence. It's almost as if you're called an "expert" all heads in the room will turn. Then you are left standing there to answer every, single, solitary question asked of you. Why, well you are the "expert." Sounds intimidating but it does not have to be. And in most cases, this isn't so. Most people just appreciate an individual who is educated in the question they have yet to find an answer to. Or simply information they, themselves have not been able to dig up. In general, be it gardening or repairing your kids bike from time to time, if you know it, you know it! As to where it was derived from is really irrelevant just so as long as the information IS indeed true and relevant. I think I jabbered enough :) Warm Regards, Raquel G. Hello Donna,
