Stop Trying to Own the Room

Every creative or business environment I’ve walked into, I’ve approached the same way: as a team player, not the boss. It’s not about trying to dominate the space or prove you’re the smartest person there. When you enter a room, the most powerful thing you can do is let people know you’ve got their back. Be the wingman, the one who’s willing to help get the job done, no matter what. You’ll go further, and you’ll be invited back.
