"Technical experts are the backbone of organisations, but their full potential remains untapped without the right support." – Alistair Gordon

In this episode, I sit down with Alistair Gordon, an expert in training and coaching technical subject matter experts (SMEs) worldwide. We discuss the unique challenges SMEs face when transitioning into leadership roles and how traditional leadership programs often fall short in addressing their needs. Alistair introduces the concept of "expertship"as a transformative framework to help SMEs break out of their technical bubbles and thrive in broader organizational roles.

This conversation dives deep into strategies for enhancing the value SMEs bring to organizations, including practical tools for developing enterprise skills like emotional intelligence, stakeholder engagement, and strategic thinking. Whether you're an SME looking to grow or a leader aiming to support your technical experts, this episode is packed with actionable insights.
