Bringing subject matter experts (SMEs) into the training process can be one of the best things learning leaders can do. SMEs bring depth of experience, enterprise-wide perspective, and credibility to the learning process. But SMEs also bring risk. While they want to do well in the classroom, it is an environment outside their expertise.

In this webcast, we’ll explore the unique needs of SMEs and examine ways to design learning to help them be successful. We’ll also introduce new language and explore nonthreatening coaching techniques to help them deliver the content effectively. You’ll learn how to:

  • Position training as a conversation that is to be facilitated rather than a speech that is to be perfected.
  • Design learning to allow for that conversation.
  • Encourage personal stories to bring training to life.
  • Examine the wisdom of training activities when working with SMEs.
  • Coach SMEs to facilitate the learning conversation.
