Everyone has it. Honest. Everyone!
So what is your expertise?
And how did you become an expert at it?

Now, Lynn please define what is being an expert versus just being good at something?
I suppose I could say (with tongue in cheek) that I was an expert at getting pregnant - 5 times in 7 years.
Or I could say that I'm an expert at piano playing (after 50 years), but there are still some notes that I miss. Is expert someone who is "perfect"?
I am an expert at making dinners in less than 10 min.
I have mastered the art of "avoiding" people who drag me down. I am an expert at spotting them a mile away.
For sure, I am an expert at napping, anytime, anywhere.zzzzzzz (time for one now)

Hehe, joi beat me to it, I was going to start with "I am an expert a dropping things"
I don't really feel like I am good enough at anything to be an expert, or even a professional.
I know some programming, but there are ten-year-olds out there who know more than me even though I went to school.
I know a bit about fixing printers, but they still come up with odd errors I have no idea how to fix.

we, hub and me, have become 'experts' at accepting what Jesus has shown us about ourselves,
and how to Trust and Believe what He is teaching us to do in order to become a part of
His Holy, Heavenly Family...

I've been learning how to install electric light ballasts and fix leaks in swamp cooler hoses at my church.
Am becoming pretty good at spotting puncture vine and digging it up - we have about an acre and a half on our church grounds that was becoming overgrown with this nasty stuff, and we're trying to get rid of it.

I'm good at finding that ONE sharp stone (from the paving outdoors) that as strayed into my hallway, with my foot, BEFORE putting my shoes on

I believe I am an expert on children. I know what makes them tick, and how they think, and how abstract or concrete their thinking is based on their current stage of development. I have been working with children of all ages is some capacity or another for 16 years, now. I have strong opinions about child rearing (although I have no children of my own).

When you know enough that you can help someone else who is just starting in that area, you have expertise. So, yeah. No tongue in cheek. If I were a young women and just found out I was pregnant, I'd count you as my expert. And, if I wanted to learn how to play the piano, I could go to you for info. And...? Ummm, how can you make dinner in 10 minutes?
Oh, and how do you take a nap, and still be able to go to sleep that night?

If a printer is broken -- i.e. I didn't run out of paper again -- I'd ask you for help on fixing it. You know more than I do. (I know "needs paper or needs ink.") And, yeah, maybe a 10 year old knows more than you do about coding, but you know more than I do. (Last time I coded was B.A.S.I.C., and it was so long ago it would look Greek to me now.) So you have expertise in coding.

Expertise can equate to experience. Two different words totally changes the dynamic. To me expertise, and I hear it all the time in my work, is so ambiguous. Those who claim it, don't really have it.

That goes well with an old talent I had. I could find a brown dead mouse in a brown shag rug that my cat left for me with my bare feet too.

How good are you? (Ulterior motives. I'm writing a middle grade series, and often have to look up what 9 y.o. would and wouldn't know yet, so I might pick your brain in the future, if you've got that much.
