# Challenge of expertise As we gain expertise, we know more and more and less and less. We keep learning, but we also realize how much there is still to discover. Also, we forget what it was like to be a beginner. We have too much context available to us and fail to understand the difficulties newcomers face. To overcome this challenge, we can: - Avoid using too much jargon - Simplify as much as possible, but not too much - Tell stories to share our mental models and context - Use visualizations to explain ideas and help others fill their gaps in understanding ## Related - [[Four stages of competence]]
