Learning New Skills With Skillshare

The future belongs to the curious. The ones who are not afraid to try it, explore it, poke at it, question it and turn it inside out.

Skillshare is a global community where you can learn real-world skills from incredible teachers. Just look at their current line up of classes beginning this year, which includes everything from the art of modern calligraphy to how to start up a business the right way. The classes are incredibly affordable, and seem to always come with a world-class video feed and great instructors—people with skills to share. Classes never expire, and you can go at your own pace on your own time. Here are some classes we are getting ready to take.

Why not check it out and see if there is something for you?

1 The New Business Toolbox: Help Your New Business Do It Right the First Time.  Taught by Seth Godin, who has multiple businesses and books to his credit, and is known to be pithy, direct and entertaining, will be taking us through eight classes: from funding and cash flow to hiring, partnerships and positioning. We will let you know what we learn!

2 Context is Key: Social Media Strategy in a Noisy Online World. This class is taught by Gary Vaynerchuk, who is a powerhouse entrepreneur and social media-savvy dude. His course includes 23 videos, and includes how to balance your ‘knock out punches’ with building long-term relationships with customers, customizing content for Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and others, and learning from case studies.

3 Pinterest for Business. We have a Pinterest page, as many of you know, but we are not always entirely sure we know what we are doing! Do you ever have that problem? So, next up on our list is to learn from Nate what we should be doing, and how much we still need to do!
