LinkedIn has announced an additional six free courses on LinkedIn Learning to help you manage your stress and build mindfulness while in lockdown due to COVID-19.
It’s a stressful time for everyone at the moment. Billions of people across the globe are stuck at home, while a viral pandemic continues to spread and cause suffering to hundreds of thousands. It’s no surprise, therefore, that over the last month, more people than ever have watched mindfulness and stress management courses on LinkedIn Learning.
LinkedIn explains that “people are looking for ways to navigate this new normal” as “boundaries between work and personal are more blurred than ever” and full families are at home all the time. Friends, coworkers, and other family members are only seen at a distance – mostly over countless video calls. It’s a challenging time, indeed.

- Understand the impact of a mindful physical workspace and how to create one
- Manage stress and get ‘unstuck’ when you’re overwhelmed
- Build up your energy reserves so you can show up the way you want to with colleagues and loved ones
