Transforming the Way the World Works Through the Power of Connection
✨Welcome to the latest edition of the LinkedIn Life Newsletter! ✨
Each month, we bring you the inside scoop on all things LinkedIn, including our culture, the work we do, events, news, and some of our latest job openings.
Now more than ever, your network is a superpower!
LinkedIn’s latest research confirms what many of us have felt all along: in a world increasingly shaped by AI, human connection still leads the way. Our networks, not search engines or algorithms, are our most trusted source for opportunity.
“In this moment, tech matters—but a strong and trusted network matters more,” says LinkedIn’s Chief Economist, Karin Kimbrough.
Building on that, Aneesh Raman, LinkedIn’s Chief Economic Opportunity Officer, adds that “every time you start a conversation [on LinkedIn], ask a question, connect with a peer, or follow someone who inspires you, you’re tapping into something essential — your network.”
This month’s issue of LinkedIn Life explores how our teams are building spaces, tools, and initiatives that help the world's professionals connect meaningfully and grow confidently.
We invite you to explore the stories, reflect on your own network, and consider: Who in your network has helped you take the next step in your career?
Meet the LinkedIn Llama: Bringing Our Culture to Life
Say hello to the LinkedIn Llama, our playful mascot who embodies LinkedIn's culture of dreaming big, getting things done, and knowing how to have fun. The LinkedIn Llama is a lighthearted reminder that the way we show up matters: supporting one another, pushing for bold ideas, and keeping joy at the center of our journey.
Lessons in Growth from LinkedIn’s Interns
Every summer, interns join LinkedIn and quickly become part of the team. They ask thoughtful questions, challenge assumptions, and bring new energy to how we work. This year was no different.
Their reflections remind us that growth often starts with curiosity, a willingness to take risks, and the ability to build meaningful connections. It’s the same mindset we encourage across LinkedIn—and seeing it in action through our interns is a powerful reminder of what’s possible.
Here are a few lessons they’ve shared.
➡️ In her first month as a Growth Marketing Intern, Nicoletta picked up three valuable lessons: be clear and brief for better communication, start with data, and it’s not just what you say, but how easily your audience can understand it.
➡️ Social Impact Intern Kaila takes us behind the scenes of a joint event with the Boys and Girls Club of the Peninsula, where participants shared career goals and aspirations and had a chance to understand different perspectives about the world of work.
➡️ Godfrey, a Social Media Marketing Intern walks us through how to share your story and network with confidence in a 30-second elevator pitch inside the Empire State Building: start with a quick intro, dive into your roles and responsibilities, and end with what you love about your job.
Soft Skills to Build in 2025
Some skills never go out of style. In fact, they’re becoming more valuable as work evolves. Emotional intelligence, networking, and resilience are three soft skills that travel across industries and roles, helping professionals not just keep up with change but thrive in it.
Engineering Innovation in Action: Inside LinkedIn India
LinkedIn’s Engineering teams in India are one of the many teams contributors helping us to build what’s next. Malai Lakshmanan, Senior Director and Head of India Engineering, takes us inside our Bangalore office to show how they’re shaping the future of LinkedIn for billions of members and customers around the world.
