names like Tom Goodwin, Naomi
Shepherd, Mark Ritson and Adam
Ferrier, this is the chance to listen to

8. Develop your creativity on Skillshare
Skillshare is a paid service. However, it
makes the list because each
membership comes with a 2-month
trial.
What’s great about Skillshare is that it’s
primarily for the creative community. I
use the platform to learn to sketch (I am
horrible at it).

Get Google/Facebook/ Twitter Certified
If you have a career in or around social
media marketing, getting these certifications
can take you a long way.
In an environment where everyone with a 1000
followers slaps on the “social media specialist”
sticker, the in-depth understanding that these
platforms provide, will truly differentiate you.

If you have already checked out the

courses-a0d7ae675869/
Attend an Ivy League class
450 courses from 8 of the best
universities in the world. Class Central
has taken the time to categorize the list
by subject.
If you don’t want to waste time
browsing through the hundreds of
courses on Coursera, EdX etc.
browsing through this list can be a
better alternative for you.
If you don’t care for university
credentials, filter the list by ‘Best of
2019’
13. Selected activities from this huge list
Being around your kids can be a
refreshing change of pace. And it’s
totally ok if your kid is in the
background of your super serious work
call; it’s only human.
But it’s important to keep them
occupied (in healthy ways) so that you
have your space to focus on work.
This is another interesting guide put up
