Productivity
In this week's Leaders in Education, we felt it important to acknowledge the national conversation around racial justice, especially in light of developments in the Breonna Taylor case. It's been a painful time, and the moment asks us to lead with compassion, especially for our Black colleagues and teammates. While our focus this week is productivity- something we've all been struggling with as we navigate taking care of ourselves, our colleagues, and our communities- we hope these resources support you and your leadership as you lead with empathy.

I’ve worked with a few JobSeekers in recent months who have reservations about joining LinkedIn, due to their feelings about social media and privacy. They ask me, “do I NEED to be on LinkedIn?” Of course not. Although it’s not mandatory, if you’re interested in exploring new roles or being contacted by recruiters about new roles, a LinkedIn profile goes a long way.
Reasons you might consider creating a LinkedIn profile:
LinkedIn is a great way to connect with hiring managers and recruiters at your target company, beyond simply applying for roles online. Joining LinkedIn doesn’t mean you have to post content or engage as you might on other social media sites. I recommend at least creating a profile with up-to-date employment and education information, a recent (and professional) profile picture, and a customized URL.
