Photo: Monica Eng/AxiosWe asked readers to identify the park Monica was in using these clues: The park is named after a Vietnam vet And a fruit that's used to make oil At the plant next door, the filters get wetWhile dormant fountains are sunk in the soilMilton Lee Olive Park. Photo: Monica Eng/AxiosDozens of readers wrote in with the correct answer: Milton Lee Olive Park, located between Ohio Street Beach and the Jardine Water Purification Plant. The Vietnam War hero's story and sculpted portrait are displayed inside the park.The wide lawns are dotted with several dry fountain basins, and the area makes for a great picnic spot, biking detour or photo stop.What they're saying: "Chicagoan Pvt. Olive was the first African American Medal of Honor recipient," wrote reader Alan Brunettin."The statue there honoring him was dedicated on 6/6/66 (!), and I was there with my father, who was the sculptor of that portrait."🎉 Congratulations to readers Skyler A. and Douglas C., whose names we pulled out of a bike helmet.

Never treat it like another resume caption.Photo by Chris Liverani on UnsplashThere are so many profile sections that you can add to boost your LinkedIn profile.The basic ones include education, position, and skill — which are highly encouraged for your searchability. You can add a featured section, licenses and certifications, and courses (taken) to stand out.And to add more flavor to your account, you can include your volunteer experiences, publications authored, projects you were part of, honors and awards, and test scores you have taken suggested by the platform.But some people ignore the power of two sections — the about section and recommendations.Not just another professional summaryA well-crafted ABOUT section must carry on a brief conversation.Whether a recruiter or prospect client views you — they are not just after your capability or recognition. They want to work with real people. So your voice (must be felt) in this section.Just like making an introduction in front of people — you must show that you are for real because people hate to connect with people who pose as perfect — they can sense if a person is too good to be true.Humans yearn for meaningful connection — and to let them feel…

Most B2B marketers know at least a little bit about how to use LinkedIn for lead generation, but there are some insider secrets to making this platform one of the best and most cost-efficient ways to find B2B leads that are primed for conversion. Here are three of those secrets.Pitch Solutions, Not ProductsLinkedIn is not the place to sell your products, even if that’s ultimately what you aim to do. What LinkedIn is about is building B2B relationships, so you want to nurture potential customers from their first step in the buyer’s journey. This means you need to show them your solutions instead of your products. Now, you might think they are one and the same, but there is some nuance to how you go about approaching contacts on LinkedIn.LinkedIn prospects don’t want to be pitched products. They want to find solutions to their pain points so by demonstrating how your product or service solves a problem they have, you’re much further along in converting a lead than you would be if you just said, “Here’s my product. Buy it.” Essentially, this boils down to helping your prospect instead of selling them on something.Name Your Audience in Your AdsWhen using…

The past few years of Covid isolation has resulted in a tsunami of mental health-related problems among the public and professionals. ith this in mind, Belfast-based Linkedln trainer, Rodney Doherty, organised a dual-purpose event, business networking and fundraising in aid of AWARE. AWARE is the depression charity for Northern Ireland. It is the only charity which works exclusively with those with depression and bipolar disorder. The family-run Ballymac Hotel was the stunning setting for this professional, yet informal gathering. What is a Linkedln Local Event? It is an opportunity to get to know the people behind their LinkedIn profiles. Business people understand the value of face-to-face meetings and developing real relationships. It is the personality of the person that you get to meet first and foremost, not just their photo, tagline or background. Building upon the natural need to seek partnerships, collaborations and kinship the theme of this Linkedln Local meeting was mental health. Mental Health Awareness Week runs from May 9 to 15. The theme this year is loneliness. Raising awareness of loneliness, depression, bipolar disorder and the practical steps we can take to address this was the thread that held the speakers' talks together. Lisa Abell-Farrelly introduced the…

Live updates: follow the latest news on Russia-UkraineA veteran Russian diplomat at the UN has quit in protest at the invasion of in Ukraine, with an outspoken letter criticising the “aggressive war unleashed” by President Vladimir Putin.Boris Bondarev told diplomatic colleagues: “Never have I been so ashamed of my country.”The counsellor at Moscow's mission to the UN in Geneva wrote in a letter to around 40 colleagues that he was leaving after 20 years in the diplomatic service, decrying Russia's invasion of its Western neighbour. He also published the letter on his LinkedIn profile, beginning “Enough is enough” and signing off with the line: “Jobs offers are welcome.”The resignation amounts to a rare — if not unprecedented — public admission of disgruntlement about Russia’s war in Ukraine among the Russian diplomatic corps.Mr Putin’s government has sought to crack down on dissent over the invasion and sought to quell narratives that contradict the government line about how the “special military operation” — as it’s officially known in Russia — is proceeding.In the letter, he condemned “the aggressive war unleashed by Putin against Ukraine and in fact against the entire western world”.This, he said, was “not only a crime against the Ukrainian…

According to mindfulness and breathwork coach, Zee Clarke, having a morning routine is essential to cultivating self-discipline and staying grounded.Clarke says that before having an intentional morning routine, the first thing she did every morning was grab her phone. Turning off her alarm clock spiraled into checking emails and notifications, scrolling through social media, and "snoozing" her responsibilities.Clarke recalls a moment when her morning dose of social media took a terrible turn and destroyed her entire day."One time, when footage from police brutality would saturate the news, I got a news notification. I clicked on it and then suddenly I watched 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant get shot and killed by the police, on my phone, in my bed," she tells CNBC Make It. "That's the first thing that I saw waking up in the morning, which ruined my day."Though being strict about her morning routine has been a "journey," Clarke says making key adjustments to her habits has made her more mindful and productive throughout the day.Here are 4 important things Clarke says she does every morning:Daily check-insAccording to Clarke, taking time to acknowledge how…
