I think something people rarely think about — but should — is whether they’re easy to approach at work. Opportunities often start casually, like someone inviting you to something or asking your input on a quick question. But if you accidentally look stressed or serious (we all do this!), people might hesitate: "Oh, you looked busy," or "You seemed annoyed."
Small stuff like having a warmer resting face, turning around with a smile instead of a flat "what?", or avoiding crossed arms in meetings sounds trivial, but actually has compounding effects.
