Abstract: This article explores strategies for overcoming "imposter syndrome" and effectively communicating complex information to expert audiences. Key steps include thoroughly researching the audience's backgrounds, interests, and priorities; acknowledging knowledge limitations upfront while highlighting relevant competencies; tailoring content to directly address the experts' perspective and challenges; using robust, multisource evidence to establish credibility; confidently fielding sophisticated questions; and cultivating ongoing engagement beyond the presentation. By applying these research-backed techniques, even non-experts can connect with highly knowledgeable groups and add value through their presentations.
