In my program for entrepreneurs and speakers, where I teach the five steps to selling from the stage with ease, I speak to the importance of the mindset of expert in the second step.

Too often we as women can give everybody else credit for being an expert. We have a hard time drawing from within and knowing that we really have had a unique experience that allows us to “own” expertise.

The expert mindset doesn’t mean you’re done learning. The expert mindset is just about being able to tap from within and know that you are truly ready to teach others through your experience.

With an expert mindset you can look at your abilities and experiences and realize that there is a way to organize that knowledge for others. Yes, in the beginning that can feel difficult. Trust me though if you evaluate what you’ve been doing over time, you will see and own what you do.
