In a world filled with constant noise and chatter, sometimes the most profound moments come from moments of quiet reflection. I took a step back from the hustle and bustle of newsletter posts, social media updates, and the relentless pace of daily media to prepare for something truly monumental – the launch of our latest endeavor.
Reflecting back on the time when I was first invited to create a course for LinkedIn Learning brings a rush of emotions. Initially, I struggled to see myself as a subject matter expert, grappling with imposter syndrome and doubting my qualifications. However, with unwavering support from my peers, mentors, and the incredible team at LinkedIn, I embarked on this journey with determination and humility. I am profoundly grateful to everyone who believed in me and made this experience not only possible but also immensely fulfilling and fun. Rob Garrott your unwavering support has been my guiding light early on this journey. Thank you for being my hero!
As I look back on the 200K+ learners who have taken my courses through LinkedIn, I am humbled by the impact of this work. I vividly recall receiving emails from aspiring architects in remote corners of the world, such as Papua New Guinea and Nigeria, expressing how my courses have empowered them to pursue their dreams. These heartwarming stories serve as a reminder that education knows no boundaries and that these courses have and immense power to inspire and uplift others.
I must also acknowledge the incredible planning and production teams at LinkedIn Learning, who are the unsung heroes behind the scenes. Their expertise, dedication, and support have been instrumental in bringing my vision to life.
Brittany Bauhaus, M.S.Ed. and Jacob Cunningham your exceptional talent and tireless efforts have elevated every aspect of this journey and I continue to have so much fun! Your dedication to excellence is truly commendable, and I'm immensely grateful for the magic you bring to every project. And Rafranz Davis, your expertise and dedication as our content manager have been invaluable. Your strategic insights and meticulous attention to detail have played a pivotal role in shaping the courses we created for LinkedinIn Learning. Thank you for your unwavering support and guidance.
