Understanding the Power of Sharing Knowledge

Today, we ask, why share your knowledge?  

Sharing your knowledge is a clear act of generosity.

It is a bold, strategic move that elevates others and you impacting professional visibility, fosters collaboration, and contributes to a legacy of excellence in healthcare.

Sharing evidence-based strategies and insights amplifies your impact and building your professional brand. When expert nurses and healthcare professionals like you share their wisdom, they elevate their peers and build a culture of continuous learning and innovation. Here’s why sharing matters:

• Connection: Sharing fosters collaboration, which improves teamwork, communication, and outcomes—whether in patient care, team management, or mentorship.

• Visibility: By sharing your insights, you position yourself as a thought leader and resource, making you more memorable and influential in your field.

• Growth: Teaching others strengthens your understanding of a topic. You reinforce your expertise and expand your critical thinking skills.

The Evidence Underpinning Knowledge Sharing

Science supports what we’ve long known intuitively: sharing knowledge benefits both the giver and the receiver.

1. Enhanced Learning: Studies reveal that teaching others reinforces your learning by 90%. ¹  

2. Increased Connection: Research shows that collaborative learning builds trust, enhances communication, and drives better decision-making.²

3. Elevated Career Success: A study found that professionals who actively share expertise are 31% more likely to advance in their careers.³

What This Evidence Means for Your Work and Life

Sharing knowledge can be as simple as:

• At Work: Offering a quick tip during a team meeting or mentoring a colleague on how to handle a challenging process, skill, or patient scenario.

• In Life: Sharing productivity tips from The Bold Brief with a friend who’s feeling stuck in their career or personal goals. Helping a friend when life is challenging.

• Online: Posting insights on LinkedIn about a recent science or news in your field or a new approach you’re trying in your career.

Remember, each time you share, you reinforce your expertise while inspiring others to take action.

What Your Vision Mean to Work and Life

Vision is the foundation for bold, transformative action. Having a vision tailored to your unique strengths, values, and aspirations empowers you to:

• Navigate Life’s Complexity: A clear vision provides a steady compass, even in uncertain times.

• Achieve Career Alignment: Vision helps you find roles and opportunities that match your purpose and passions.

• Maintain Resilience: A compelling vision reminds you why you’re working hard, especially during setbacks.

4 Steps to Discover Your WHY for Sharing

Step 1: Identify Your Expertise

Step 2: Identify Opportunities

Where could this knowledge help others? Could it improve workplace patient outcomes, strengthen a team, or solve a recurring challenge in life or community? Could your knowledge help others at various ages, young to old, or potentially enable your community with your knowledge and skills? Create that list.

Step 3: Start Small & Use Micro-Actions
