We are seeking a delivery-ready Subject Matter Trainer with proven Difficult Conversations capability for assignments connected to Surabaya, Indonesia, and broader Asia.
Opportunity Overview
The role is intended for trainers who can move comfortably between subject expertise, stakeholder discussion, and practical learner application. Sessions should remain relevant to real workplace use rather than abstract theory.
This opportunity is targeted at a strong trainer with proven Difficult Conversations expertise and experience supporting people managers, supervisors, and team leads across Asia. The brief focuses on practical delivery, stakeholder alignment, and high-quality learner engagement.
Key Areas of Responsibility
Delivery is expected to take place in a In-Person format, with the engagement currently framed as One-Off Assignment support.
- Translate complex ideas into practical guidance, examples, and decision-making frameworks that participants can use in the workplace.
- Support participants with examples, clarifications, and implementation guidance that reduce the gap between theory and day-to-day application.
- Refine materials where needed so the programme remains current, usable, and appropriate for the target audience.
- Adapt delivery to the client brief, participant seniority, and the sector context without losing clarity or pace.
- Keep the learning intervention aligned with business priorities, not just topic coverage, so the work delivers visible value to the client.
- Use practical case studies, scenarios, tools, or workflows to make Difficult Conversations content easier to apply after the session.
Preferred Background
Demonstrable expertise in Difficult Conversations; confidence running workshops, training, or advisory sessions for corporate audiences; credible management experience, facilitation maturity, and strong behavioural coaching capability; comfortable working in in-person environments.
- Proven subject-matter credibility in Difficult Conversations with evidence of practical business or corporate application.
- Availability for project-based work linked to Surabaya, Indonesia, and wider Asia where relevant.
- Good judgement around pacing, audience engagement, and the balance between technical depth and usability.
- Comfort operating in In-Person settings and handling the logistical realities of live corporate delivery.
Ideal candidates will have worked across people management, manager capability, team leadership, or change leadership, with the credibility to engage client stakeholders and deliver practical learning outcomes for business audiences.
