Advice for Incoming ECM Banker

Hey guys, I'll be starting in an ECM group at a BB after doing my SA stint in a LevFin group. Which skills should I be focusing on to make sure I can hit the ground running in my ECM group? Which valuation techniques are used the most?

Would appreciate feedback from anyone in ECM. Thanks.
