Content Library stinks

Hi, Steve. I’m sorry to hear that your initial Content Library searches haven’t uncovered the right image for your project. While I’m not sure exactly what you’re looking for, I wanted to share my process for honing in on the best photos for my courses. I found some assets that might work for you, so hopefully it helps!

I usually start with a little word association since one word can mean a lot of different things. Let’s say I need a picture of someone falling for a workplace safety course. If I search “fall,” I end up with lots of images of waterfalls and fall foliage. But if I search for a related term like “safety,” I’m more likely to find something that works.

It can also help to think contextually to broaden your image options. Instead of searching for “boss” or “businessman,” I might search for environments or situations where you’d find those types of people. I’ve found that the results of this approach are relevant to my course and also help me convey the right feeling for my content.

I applied this line of thinking to your situation. When I searched for “business meeting” and “team meeting,” I found several images that show leaders working side-by-side with their employees in an office setting. I’ve highlighted a couple of the ones I liked best. Maybe you could use one of these:
