Our career paths did not intersect as long as I'd have like, because I believe if I were given the opportunity, I could be learning so much more from Ethan. What I value most from what little time when Ethan mentored me:\n\n1. Apply resources towards people want it, not where you believe have the most potential or will achieve the most gain. Providing resources that has been desired is more valuable because that resources will likely be better used than where you see potential gain. Resources is wasted when not taken advantage of.\n2. Learn the situation from everyone else's perspective. Understanding the underlying motivation for each party is the only way to achieve a win/win solution. Learn to be a good listener.\n3. Know yourself. Ethan told me once that he is much less rick averse than me. This observation taught me that my capacity for risk, and getting back up time and again and continued learning is what allow me to push boundaries in innovative start up environments.\n4. No one wins by themselves in a professional setting. The best companies are build by cohesive teams on trust and honesty.\n\nIf given the chance, I'd jump at the chance of working with Ethan, or listen carefully to his advise whether over a webinar or dinner.\n\nThank you for sharing yourself with the world, Ethan!\n\n",

    "content": "I'm excited to share that LinkedIn has released my first LinkedIn Learning class, Making the Move to Executive.\n\nThis class is a condensed version of my full workshop on Breaking Through to Executive.  It is completely free to anyone with access to LinkedIn Learning either through your corporation or because you are a member of LinkedIn Premium.\n\nI recorded this class with a full production team at LinkedIn, spending three days in the studio to create about one hour of carefully summarized and focused content.  If you like high speed, focused learning, this class shortens my 11 to 14 hour full workshop into a single hour of the top actionable points.\n\nMy full class, which I teach every quarter via the Maven platform, was rated 4.87 stars out of a possible 5 stars by the last set of students.\n\nThe full workshop goes into much more depth (4 hours versus 1) and is augmented with live Q&A (2 hours), facilitated networking (2 hours), and 4 weeks of follow up implementation sessions to help you apply the lessons (4+ hours).  A link to the workshop appears in the comments.\n\nWhichever solution is right for you, they are now both available.  I'm incredibly grateful to the team at LinkedIn for helping me produce such a beautifully crafted class.\n\nReaders - I am curious if you use LinkedIn Learning and what you think of it?  I am unclear about the actual reach of the product on a practical basis.\n\nhttps://lnkd.in/gxeydqkj",
