LinkedIn Podcasts and Interviews and Webinars, Oh MyWith the coronavirus spreading like wildfire, the amount of material available online has expanded just as exponentially. Personally, I would love to listen to Deepak Chopra and Oprah for morning meditation each day, hang out on my porch all morning taking online fitness classes, learn to cook with awesome online videos for the afternoon, then watch Netflix and attend Zoom dance parties at night. But the reality is that we all do need to work if we are blessed to have opportunities to do so. And if we don’t, we need to be looking for those opportunities.

If I ever figure out how to record a combination yoga class, dance party and LinkedIn podcast, you will be the first to know! In the meantime, I have a few free resources to offer you in the form of LinkedIn podcasts, interviews and webinars that can help with finding work or attracting customers during this time.

Following are some recent podcasts that are fun to listen to (due to the skill of my interviewers of course!) and that will give you some valuable guidance as you attack your resume and LinkedIn projects while sheltering at home.

You can find all these LinkedIn podcasts on my Media page.
