You Don't Need to Be an SME to Become a Great Trainer with Matthew Lee

This week on The Overnight Trainer Podcast I am joined by L&D Strategist & Leader, Matthew Lee, and we are talking all about SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTISE!

In this episode, Matt shares:

- What he looked for when he hired over 300 L&D professionals over the span of his 15-year L&D career (spoiler alert: it's not subject matter expertise)

- What the harm is in L&D hiring managers who focus on industry-specific subject matter expertise vs. L&D expertise

- What red-flags to look out for in the interview process prior to joining an L&D team

- The difference between tactical and strategic instructional design, and why an organization needs both

- His advice for anyone transitioning into L&D who are nervous to apply for jobs because they don't have subject matter expertise
