I've been having trouble myself trying to describe what I do and how I go about doing it from a freelancer's perspective. I like the use of the word "expert" too. It does describe a more valuable set of terms in which others can immediately identify with in the way of skills and attributes for the expert. I think by using distancing language it's possible for this terminology to be used without denoting ego, but out of the box, some may view it as ego-enhancing. The greatest challenge I face is replacing myself from job to job with a set of tools to enable the client to do on their own what I was hired to help them with, but it does open up new paths for me to learn and pass onto to others as I move from company to company in a constant learning state. Thanks again for the write up. I really enjoyed it! That was a very insightful read.
