Excellent take on my note and Ana's post. I coach ambitious women in tech, and when we review their CVs or LinkedIn profiles, "passionate" often comes up in their statements at the top. That's a waste of space because, as you said, people want to know what problems you have solved and how you can help them, not really about your passions (other than maybe when you're volunteering).
The reality is we all care about ourselves: our problems, our feelings, and our thoughts. We need to align with those for our customers and employers if we want to get deals or a job.
Hey! I saw your post pop up on my homepage and wanted to show some support. If you get a chance, I’d really appreciate a little love on my latest newsletter too always happy to boost each other!
This doesn’t mean though you should not do things with or out of passion. But I believe everyone got the point here.
Brilliant take on this piece 🤗
