Being known for something beats being liked for nothing.

Being generally agreeable gets you a pleasant, forgettable spot in a room. Nobody dislikes you and nobody comes to you for anything, because there is nothing specific attached to your name. Being the person who does a particular thing well gives people a reason to call, even people who find you slightly annoying. Reputation needs a noun.

Pick the noun you want, not forever, just for this year: the one who fixes things, the one who can write, the one who never lets a group project die. Then do it publicly enough that three people would name it if asked. Depth is more useful than being widely inoffensive.
