It’s Showtime!! When it’s time to showcase your expertise on some subject, you have to be little cautious considering you might not be the only one in the room who has expertise on said subject. You will be surprised to know how much that person sitting in front of you knows about the subject which you are talking about. At least it appears so. At least they can pretend to. Don’t be surprised. Here is the catch. There is a chance that the person sitting in front of you might be very knowledgeable, there is an equal chance that this person is faking it, giving an air or knowledgeable person, authority on the subject and even you can do that. You only have to pretend affirmatively and authoritatively that this idea which someone is proposing is not new at all, pretending that it’s your one brainchild or at least you came across this idea or fact or information many times before. This will show your authority, at the same time that person with feel little awkward and will start doubting his own authority on the subject. This is a bad thing to do so don’t do that. But always keep in mind that majority of people around you with apparent knowledgeable authority is faking it, you got to see content of that person beneath his or her confidence. Confidence without real knowledge or content is not going to lead anyone anywhere. And also don’t feel disheartened if someone claims your knowledge or idea as their own, you know it’s yours, and they know it’s a trick that they are playing on you as always just because they are in a position to do that to you.
