Train the Trainer: 02. Becoming a Subject Matter Expert

If your training sessions are putting the audience to sleep then you may need to invest in our elearning course, Becoming a Subject Matter Expert. This course will provide the basics on how you can become a subject matter expert (SME) to improve your presentation skills. We’ll discuss what an SME is, why delivery matters, and provide tips on how you can become an SME on any topic. The course will take you through specific steps: audience homework, session goals, and why you should complete a training needs assessment. You will study how to craft learning objectives, do in-depth research, take notes and create outlines. At the end of the course you will have mastered the power of deconstructive thinking, and you’ll know the three most important things you should provide the audience as an SME.
