Expertise is specific and tacit knowledge. Everything that cannot be taught: all the judgment you hone by doing, all the untold stories and relevant data recalled at your fingertips.

Expertise

It is hard to know exactly when the sum of our knowledge and experiences become expertise. Expertise is difficult to define because it is not a concept easily measurable. In his article about Part Time Creators, Shawn Hang defines it as the « judgements » you rationalised, the « untold stories » you had been through and the « data » you made sense of since years of experience. Today, with social media and all the content available to us, it is very easy to compare yourself and feel bad. But what takes you away from having more experience is this fear of feeling bad. The objective is not to be an expert, it’s to have the courage to share what you think could help others. It’s THE way to find and show your true value. The value others find in you is your expertise.
