Marc shares practical strategies for engaging subject matter experts (SMEs) as trainers—starting with identifying those who are eager to grow, then equipping them through “train-the-trainer” programs, coaching, and ongoing feedback.A recurring theme is the value of essential (people) skills—listening, adapting to different learning styles, and building connections—even in highly technical environments. Marc offers advice on overcoming common challenges: selling soft skills to ROI-focused management, using microlearning and spaced learning to minimize disruption, and designing training around core competencies before layering advanced skills.Drawing on the TEAM communication model, Alan highlights Marc’s ability to “flex” his natural Tell (T) style—task-focused and fast-paced—toward more people-centered approaches. The conversation reinforces that adaptability, continuous learning, and showing genuine care for employees are not just “nice to haves” but essential for business performance, retention, and resilience.To find out more about Marc or to get in touch:linkedin.com/in/marc-korn-landdI hope you enjoy this episode! Give it a like, share, and subscribe to not miss the content coming your way weekly. – Alan and the Lead.
