I have ended up in a position that perfectly matches my experience and education, and as a result have been doing well. I have been able to accomplish some tasks that my seniors were not able to, and have made my success quite public within the company by showing the results to those who benefit from them. In addition, I have realized that I'm spending a lot of time correcting other people by sharing what is considered common knowledge in my field, which seems to disagree with and refine a lot of what they presently believe. This is all possible because my area of domain knowledge, although very useful to the business, is not shared by anyone else.

If you think this is all a good thing, you have not had much professional experience. ;)

Before I make too many enemies, I need to figure out how to graciously share my knowledge. Regardless of whether or not there's a real reason for them to be defensive, it is against everybody's interests for me to do my job in a way that arouses opposition. How can I continue to share my domain expertise (which makes up most of my value) without threatening, belittling or one-upping anyone?
