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.
