Any tips to teach DD to stop being overbearing?

DD is not-quite four and a half, she’s just started school having been at nursery previously (so she’s had lots of interaction with other kids). I’ve noticed at a few birthday gatherings recently that she can occasionally be a little overbearing in her interactions with other kids, and was wondering if anyone had any tips or advice to try and nip it in the bud - she’s the sweetest kid otherwise.

The main example is her determination to tell other kids what/how to play, and she gets upset if they don’t listen and stomps off. I’ve tried explaining that all kids can have their own opinions, we don’t always have to agree and that’s OK, but it goes in one ear and out of the other. Reminds me all a bit of Coco in the Bluey ‘Wild Girls” episode which I’ve also referenced in desperation, but to no avail.
