If I have to give you one advice it's to be or become good at explaining.

It's really hard to persuade your collaborators of your competencies, especially in the case of no-techs more if there is your boss or for a critical decision.

You'll become the king of metaphors!

Definitely agree. Though a warning, when convenient some people will overstretch metaphors and then hold you to the irrational conclusion. As some consolation, they would hold you to the irrational with or without the metaphor.
