I wish somebody had taught younger me the power of shutting up about yourself and your projects, asking good questions and looking like you belong no matter where you happen to be.
The combination is a superpower.
Present your work when it’s ready, then never mention it again unless somebody asks.
Somehow this makes sure that your project is mentioned multiple times in every single workshop meeting.
And if you just look relaxed wherever you are everyone assumes you are somehow important.
