Benje_Junior has been promoted to Expert level

[Gaurav]

Congratulations @Benje_Junior for reaching the Expert Level with Carnity Offroad Club.

Looking forward to seeing you grow further and helping others to learn the art of offroading in a safe environment.

Please make sure your Carnity user profile is always updated with all the latest Emergency contact details.

 

EXPERT

This level will be the most essential in your off-road development as you will start leading and managing drives independently with the support of other senior advisors. And also you will help in developing new advisors to pass on the knowledge, experience, and skills for managing adventurous yet safer off-road drives.

The expert level will offer you continuous improvement in your overall development by alternating between the lead and supporting the drive every week. This way, you will still learn and advance your knowledge by supporting other trip leads in different terrain to understand the complexity and challenges involved and practicing independent lead and convoy management.

Congratulations @Benje_Junior well deserved, it has been a pleasure sharing this journey with you and watching you grow.

As i found out when I first started and I am sure the other leads will tell you the same, this is the first step in long road, be patient, there is still much to learn, keep calm, every situation and problem has a solution. 

Let me know if you need any help, once again congrats and good luck as you embark on the new journey

Wow this is incredible, thank you to everyone I met during my journey who supported, taught, and executed some of the best adventures I've had. 

These past 3 years have been an absolute blast, and I look forward to helping others on their own paths coming in the future. I think it's important to note that there is a popular Japanese business model that we should all follow, if that's within @Carnity or any other hobbies/ work, and that is Kaizen which translates to 'Continuous improvement' don't be afraid to self-reflect and overcome. 

throughout my time in the club, I have had many influential faces to look up to when it came to executing a safe and enjoyable drive, while making a ton of new friends on the way.

Thank you @Davie Smooth_Operator you have been a big help within my journey and even though I've only stepped out the door I plan to take this opportunity to learn and improve along the way, your help is much appreciated from me.

@Gaurav Thank you for this amazing opportunity to grow and learn the ways of off-roading in a safe manner, every drive is an adventure, and knowing you believed in my ability to coordinate, lead and now plan drives independently given my age compared to our buddies here at the club is something I appreciate a lot.
