My 2022 Yearly Review

2022 was a strange year for me, felt like I hadn’t done much and then I started writing this blog post and it turns out wasn’t too bad after all. I did however get quite a few MVP nominations for people deserving of the award and got a good number of people started doing their first ever LinkedIn Learning course.
My first-ever LinkedIn Learning course went live in March of this past year, and then I finished the second part I was asked to do.
