A friend of mine was given some advice from her mentor to take the stage. I (and she) thought that was great advice and I’ve shared it with a few of my team members so will share along here.

Whether you know it or not, eyes are on you and typically, with that, judgements. Subconsciously, everyone is forming opinions about what they see every day. Luckily, we have pretty good control over what we individually do with our time and assuming that it’s great work, make sure you’re on stage when you’re doing it.

If you don’t make decisions, arguments, etc, they will be made for you and you’ll be booted off the stage.
