When I walk into a room where I'm new, I remind myself that I didn't get there by accident. I might be the youngest person there or the only one who hasn't done this before, but I've learned that preparation and purpose matter more than familiarity. Confidence, for me, comes from listening first, asking thoughtful questions, and staying grounded in why I'm there. I don't try to take up the most space. I try to add value. Over time, I've realized that being underestimated can actually be a strength because it gives you room to show who you are through your actions rather than your title.
