What have I learned from my mistakes? One mistake I made early in my career was not asking for help when I was unsure about something. I thought I needed to figure everything out on my own, which sometimes caused delays and affected projected outcomes. From that experience, I learned that the importance of collaborating, seeking guidance when necessary. Now I'll make sure to communicate openly with my team and leverage their expertise when I need it, which has improved both my efficiency and my quality of work.
