Ladies and kids. Welcome.
Gentlemen, go find your own tips on your own. Be a man bro. lol.
(interestingly all pro photo tips I've earned are all from males)
Top image has Exposure +.10 and contrast at -30.
HSWB is at : +27, +22, +27, -15
Bottom image as Exposure at +20 and contrast at +8
HSWB is at : +27, +20, +25, -3
Pretty much the brightness of the image is identical, but bottom image has more contrast, blacker black and poppier highlight. But the middle ground bright white DID NOT CHANGE.
Okay what the hell, right.
Easy.
Bottom image added +38 of contrast. That makes things crunch a bit. Middle ground gets slightly darker. That's the +.10 to the exposure.
Next, the HSWB.
Highlight does not change because contrast did the job.
Shadows are identical almost, with -2. This is a borderline dismissal. Our eyes can easily tell from +-3.
Whites have been tweaked by exposure, but it's cool so we do here at -2.
Black is where the change has happened severely by contrast. +12 because that's where details started revealing.
The key is to understand what happens to the histogram when you move shit.
What I did, was simply smudge that pointy mountain (Top image histogram) to the right so it will join the Big mountain in the right (Bottom image histogram)
These alterations of histogram results in more balanced overall color that gives a "stronger" image.

Here's an editing magic. This one's my own.
There will be a time when demand demands you to "Don't change the overall image but I just want dark part dark and edgier and highlight to pop."
Yeah, that's me demanding myself.
