A Highlight from the upcoming NAGC Communications
School.
Every organization has them, the
Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), the go-to people for all things knowledge in
your agency. But the person with the knowledge about your programs and services
may not always have the skills to present the message to your constituents; and
it becomes your job to train SMEs on how to deliver the information so will
listen and understand.
Doc Trahan will share his considerable coaching expertise to help
you train your subject matter experts. You will learn the concepts to coach
your subject matter experts to stay focused and communicate with credibility,
believability, and accessibility. He will share tips to help you help your
people about why they want to stay on message and tell the truth. You will be
able to pick the right person, coach them with the right words and guide them
on how stand and deliver the message so that they will be heard, understood and
believed.
Train-the-Trainer: A Gumbo of Tips for Media Training your SMEs is one of the
break-out sessions at 1:45 p.m., on April 18 at the 2013 Communications School,
