Develop
your expertise
You want to be
perceived by your audience as an expert in your subject. Experience, knowledge,
and integrity are keys to developing your expertise.
Work with other
experts to boost your credibility
Even the most expert of us recognizes that there are many perspectives and ways
to look at a topic. Good speakers ensure that they are up-to-date and aware
of what other experts are doing in their field.
Assess the credibility
of resources
As you know, there are many of people who pretend to be experts
on subjects for which they know little. In addition, some misrepresent the facts
or fabricate evidence.
Work with reference
librarians
Reference librarians are experts in finding resources, particularly
in accessing subscription databases and hard-to-find publications. They make
research easy.
Find evidence
to back up your claims
Evidence gives credence to your arguments. When making a claim,
you can expert your audience to be thinking, "What evidence do you have
to support that assertion?"
