    Description

    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

    Let’s take the guesswork out of becoming an L&D professional. Are you looking to get into Learning and Development and don’t quite know where to start? Have you recently been promoted to a Corporate Trainer or Instructional Design role and want to make sure you have the tools to knock it out of the park? If any of those are you, you’ve come to the right place.
