Each of us tends to undersell (or completely disbelieve) our expertise on subjects that are near and dear to our hearts. Expertise, we believe, is something other people have.
And yet, I am convinced that we are more expert than we think. And fortunately, we are living in a time where methods to convince others of our expertise has never been easier.
Watch my recent Facebook Live video Demystifying Expertise and see if you agree.
My friend Agah Bahari is interested in everything, which is one of the things that I love about him.
Not that long ago, he decided to indulge his interests by starting something he calls the NeoHuman podcast (which matches nicely with his NeoHuman blog), inviting many of the interesting people he knows to discuss pretty much anything that comes up.
Well, seems he ran out of interesting people and so he invited me to participate…and we talked about anything: biotechnology, pharma, global healthcare, designer babies, creativity, writing, screenwriting, 9/11, marketing, and the novel he and I are writing about his life.
But my favourite part is the question he asks all his guest, which is roughly:
If you met an intelligent alien life-form, what would you describe as the greatest human accomplishment and as the worst human accomplishment?
Never boring, my friend Agah.
