[ Competence / Credibility ]

On the 10th of each month, I’ll do a 30minute webinar on a topic related to these daily posts. Episode 2, on February 10th 11:30am AEST, is about “credibility beyond credentials”. 

Competence and credibility are similar, but not the same. “Competence” can be defined as having knowledge, skills and experience on a task or topic. “Credibility” is about being trusted, convincing and believable.  A combination of competence and credibility brings respect.

Competence is simply expected for any role.  An accepted method of ‘declaring’ credibility is through credentials – degrees, awards, titles.  But there is so much more to it than that.
