At one of my last motivational seminars, a woman raised her hand and said, "Why can't things just remain the same?" Being a big proponent of change and someone who deals with change better than most, I paused for a moment to think about where this woman was coming from. Was it fear of the unknown or did she love what she did so much that she couldn't bear the thought of changing? All I knew was that this woman was at a crossroad in her life.

We live in a world that is ever changing. People, organizations, and life continues to evolve, presenting us with new paradigms, ideas, and philosophies every day. I once read a postcard that had a quote that captured what I believe about change --"Change is the essence of life. Be willing to surrender what you are for what you could become."

Are you an expert in your field? Maybe a better question would be, "Do you believe you are an expert in your field?"

Most of us do what we like. We like it because we're good at it. Why would anyone spend time doing something they don't like? Being an expert is understanding the areas in your life you do well and doing them....doing them often.

One of the most important aspects of understanding your expertise is looking at your strengths, not other people. Have you ever compared yourself to others? If you answered "yes", I encourage you to STOP right now! We all have something that we do well and it's important to focus on our strengths and acknowledge our expert status.

Being a recognized expert is the best way to advance professionally. What is it about you that makes you different than others in your profession? What you are an expert at and how are you going to share it with others?
