Credibility: Gain Gravitas through Knowledge and Experience

One of the four parameters in the Trust Equation (see our earlier video: https://youtu.be/ikVmmhONXig) is Credibility. If people don’t see you as credible, they won’t trust you.

So, how can you acquire credibility. The title of this video gives you your first clue: knowledge and experience. But there’s more to it than those two words and that’s what we’ll explore in this module. If you’ve not seen our video on the Trust Equation (https://youtu.be/ikVmmhONXig), do take a look at it.

Watching this video is worth 3 Management Courses CPD Point*.

LESSON NOTES
=============
Gravitas and authority come from true expertise. And that comes from experience and learning. The three key components are:
1. Depth – deep knowledge and understanding
2. Breadth – experience across a range of domains and disciplines
3. Good self-knowledge – knowing and understanding your strengths and weaknesses, and sticking to the things you know
This video also introduces the valuable concept of T-shaped People – with depth and breadth.
Finally, we learn about the role of process in coming across with authority.

4. What additional domains of knowledge and functional skills do you have to lend yourself breadth? (1 MC CPD Point)
5. What new areas do you need to gain knowledge and experience, to further broaden your skillset and understanding? (1 MC CPD Point)
