Unlock the Power of Human Connection: A New LinkedIn Learning Course for Managers

LinkedIn has to be one of my favourite sharing platforms because of the sheer variety of modalities a creator can share knowledge in. From videos to newsletters, going live to LinkedIn learning courses, there's just so many ways to connect with your audience and engage in meaningful discussion around your zone of genius.

In my first collaboration with the LinkedIn Learning platform, where creators can create courses, I have put together some powerful, practical strategies to grow your career by fostering meaningful, lasting human connection.

Here's a little more on the course description:

Start embracing connection in both your professional and personal life by tapping into the five types of human connection: self-connection, intimate connection, relational connection, collective connection, and microconnections. Along the way, I also show you how to successfully foster connection in the workplace, whether you work in a remote, hybrid, or on-premises environment.

Learning objectives

• Navigate the global loneliness epidemic.
• Describe the five types of connections that all humans need.
• Build authentic connections with your employees.
• Connect with yourself.
• Build connection in a hybrid workplace.
• Build connection in physical spaces.

Over the next few days I will be sharing more on the course and individual modules. I hope the course serves you.
