You get to learn different knowledge and skills from different team leaders, so just learn from all if you have the chance! Some team leaders treat you with tender care, some hard love, and some wants you to be independent. All in all, we are just humans and we make mistakes.
I've learned that proper planning, communication and collective understanding of the end goals precedes good execution. Admittedly, I struggled to perform my tasks, however the lessons learned were insightful and allowed me to grow more confident and determined with each failure.
I’m grateful for is the space given for self-growth. Would not have known that I am capable of doing so much alone and also together with such supportive teammates. Making mistakes is okay in EcoKnights but learn from it.
There are more of EcoKnights than what I can say here but I can ensure you, all of my blood, sweat, and tears spilled here at EcoKnights is something I would never forget. I couldn’t thank EcoKnights enough for giving me the opportunity to nurture my confidence and various other skills that I could never gain on my own.
Everyone in EcoKnights has given me something to admire and learn from, and although I’m a little (very) reserved, the friends I connected with really made working here an enjoyable experience, even if things sometimes got too hectic.
