There’s a saying that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.

But what if it’s not just about your five closest people—what if it’s about the room you put yourself in?

Some rooms are flat. The energy feels heavy, the conversation circles around complaints, and you leave feeling drained.

Other rooms are electric. You walk out with a notebook full of ideas, new connections, and that spark in your chest that says, Yes. I’m meant for more.

I’ve experienced both—and I can tell you, your business, your confidence, and your results will always rise or fall to the level of the room you’re in.

The Science Behind It

Vanessa Van Edwards, author of Captivate and a behavioral researcher, shares research that proves this isn’t just a motivational slogan.

She explains that simply sitting near successful, productive workers can actually increase your own productivity. It’s contagious.

Even more fascinating: people’s results are linked to the expectations of their peers. If you’re surrounded by ambitious, high-performing women who expect greatness from themselves and from you—your own results naturally rise to meet those expectations.

This means that choosing your environment is not just a “nice-to-have.” It’s a strategy.

Why Women’s Business Rooms Are Different

When I talk about the power of the room, I’m especially talking about rooms filled with women who are:

• • Ambitious—not just dreaming, but taking action.

• • Generous—sharing contacts, advice, and encouragement.

• • Smart—bringing expertise and fresh ideas to the table.

• • Down-to-earth—no egos, just authenticity.

There’s something magical that happens when women show up as both leaders and collaborators. The competition melts away, and what rises up instead is collaboration, creativity, and confidence.

These are the kinds of rooms where one connection can change your trajectory. Where one conversation can unlock the story you’ve been afraid to tell. Where you realize you’re not crazy, you’re not alone, and yes—you can step into the spotlight.

Choosing Your Rooms With Intention

So here’s the real question: What rooms are you putting yourself in?

If you’re sitting in rooms that keep you small, bored, or uninspired… it’s going to show up in your business.

But if you’re intentional about seeking out spaces where ambitious, generous women gather—your growth is inevitable.

You don’t have to do it alone. You don’t have to keep “getting ready to get ready.” The right people can accelerate your clarity, your confidence, and your results faster than any course or self-help book ever could.

✨ The truth is this: the power of the room is real.

So next time you’re deciding whether or not to show up, remember—you’re not just attending an event. You’re choosing the energy, expectations, and momentum that will shape your future.

Your seat in the right room might just be the thing that unlocks your next level.
