👋🏼 What is your name, and what is your industry and profession?  

🌏 Where are you located? 

💻 What LinkedIn Talent Solutions products are you using? How long? 

⭐️ What do you hope to get out of your experience in the Talent Community? 

 

🙋🏼‍♀️ I’ll kick us off!

👋🏼 I’m Courtney, and I am your Community Manager. I’ve been in the talent & HR SaaS space for over 10 years - as a Customer Success Manager (shout out to CSMs! 🙌🏼), in internal enablement, and the best of both worlds in community-building! 

🌏 I am located off the beautiful Emerald Coast of Florida (Gulf of Mexico), USA 🌊 🏝️☀️ where I try to take in water activities 🏄🏼‍♀️ & digging in the dirt 👩🏼🌾 as often as possible.

💻 I’m a massive fan of LinkedIn Learning, as a learner! Skill-development is an important pillar at LinkedIn and I’m able to prioritize my own learning & development with full support of the organization.  

⭐️ My goal is to ensure the LinkedIn Talent Community is a place that connects people to resources and to each other through positive interactions, meaningful connections and knowledge-sharing.

🌍I am based in Gauteng, South Africa, with our offices in Bryanston, Johannesburg and home in Pretoria.  I am a godmother to two gorgeous kitties who adopted us after our neighbour’s baby was born and it got too noisy and busy for them and who now snuggle on our bed when I work remotely 🐈⬛️🐈

💻 I am a huge fan of LinkedIn Learning but I am especially enthusiastic about using LinkedIn Talent Solutions to streamline recruitment and enhance workforce planning.

⭐️ I am excited to learn, collaborate, and exchange insights with fellow professionals here!
