Surrounding Yourself with People Who Believe in You

"Surround yourself with people who fight for you in rooms you aren't in."

Look for those who genuinely believe in your potential and are ready to speak up for you when you're unavailable to advocate for yourself. These are the people who will support you, open doors for you, and stand up for your character and values when you're not in the room, making sure your reputation is not destroyed by those whose only comfort in life is to tear people down.
