Do not dim your own light so others can shine. Glow like a galaxy _together_! Try 3 ways: 1. Introduce the team! Make their bios short & compelling, and you’ll sound confident, gracious, and a total leader. 2. Not everyone feels comfortable with extended public speaking, so ask first. And the truth is most people are not great at it. Encourage/support those developing team members, or have them take on small but standout speaking roles like Q&A facilitator, product demo, or even a timekeeper. 3. Give credit where credit is due and do it publicly during the presentation. You can acknowledge contributions when transitioning between sections, add a "recognition moment" at the start or the end with a teamwork story, whichever makes most sense.

As much as being given the opportunity to lead a team in presentation is a way to "show" your skills, you're meant to shine the spotlight on the team as a whole Let the contribution be a product of the idea from everyone on the team If possible, mention the name of the contributor of the point you are speaking on With this, you'll make the win a team effort

Balancing teamwork and confidence as a manager, especially in Albanian work culture, can be challenging because success is often attributed to the manager alone. I focus on creating a culture where everyone feels ownership of our success by recognizing individual contributions, empowering team members with leadership roles, and fostering open communication. For instance, I encourage everyone to give feedback and share ideas in decision-making processes. This way, each person’s unique strengths are recognized, and it builds a stronger sense of collective achievement. Additionally, I aim to lead by example, showing confidence in the team’s abilities while remaining humble about my own role.
