How To Become Known As An ?Industry Expert? - Business

In the cutthroat and competitive world of business, it's never been more important to be an expert in your field. So how can one become an expert?

With unemployment levels continuing to rise and whispers of a double dip recession passing between the lips of the UK media and politicians on a regular basis, it's more important than ever to be at the top of your game and enhance your employability.

Being known as an 'industry expert' or a top mind within your specialism or field, is a sure fire way of increasing your employability and recognition as a valuable asset. So how can one become known as an industry expert?

- Become a keynote speaker: Regardless of the industry, there's bound to be a conference, workshop or expo on a topic or number of topics within your field at some point in the year. Putting yourself forward to speak at one of these kinds of events is a great way to gain recognition. What's more, speaking at one of these events is often a great springboard to speak at other, similar events that can further widen your acclaim.

- Run training courses: Anyone who is an expert in their field will be expected to share knowledge and insight with others. It can therefore be useful to run training courses, seminars and work shops as a means of sharing your knowledge with others. What's more, if you do a great job and your teachings are insightful and useful to others, you may experience a word of mouth effect which can also help assert you as a recognised expert.

- Start a blog: The Internet is a wonderful hive of information and it's never been easier to get 'discovered' thanks to the many tools and platforms that can assist web users in getting their voices, thoughts, videos and opinions out to a growing audience. Another way of asserting yourself as an expert is to create a blog. Here, you can present opinions and ideas on your chosen topic or industry whilst accruing subscribers and followers who, in turn, are likely to use social sharing to spread the word. Furthermore, it might even be worthwhile creating a vlog (video blog) or podcast (an audio blog) as a means of getting your name and knowledge out there in a number of different, easily downloadable formats.

So whether you're a pig farmer who is able to keynote speak on new agricultural techniques, a lab technician who can teach others in the safe handling of chemicals or even an HR consultant with an HR blog full of your insightful opinions, assert yourself an expert today.
