Passion is nice, but expertise is better — this is the advice Mastercard CEO Michael Miebach once got when he thought he knew what he should do next, and his boss set him straight. In this month’s #ThisIsWorking interview with LinkedIn Editor in Chief Daniel Roth, Miebach said he now shares this advice liberally. "Recently I was with our summer interns, and somebody said, 'You know, I'm following my passions and I like what you guys are doing here. What's your advice?' "I said, 'I love the fact that you're following your passion, but you should also just look at what you are really good at. What differentiates you.'" Do the thing that you can do better than most people, Miebach says, and be passionate about that. For more advice from Michael Miebach, watch the full episode, linked in the comments below.

Tired of being told to adapt? Suzy Welch, professor at NYU Stern School of Business and three-time NYT bestselling author, has a different take. In a world obsessed with reinvention and constant change, Suzy offers a bold counterpoint: “ The job for us is not to change and adapt,” she says, “but for us to figure out what our authentic lives are earlier and get there faster, because that is where we're going to find meaning and purpose and the kind of satisfaction that hopefully has an outcome of happiness.” This insight is at the heart of Suzy’s new book, “Becoming You,” which just launched this week. As Suzy explains, the real work of becoming who we’re meant to be isn’t about constant reinvention. It’s about tapping into these three things:  ✅ Your deepest, most authentic values ✅ Your natural personality and talents ✅ The areas of economic and personal growth that excite you Catch Suzy’s full conversation with Jessi Hempel on Hello Monday for even more insights on authenticity, growth, and living a life that truly fits.
