Compound phrases - "and" use

Why the subject is ommited in this cases:

"These steps won’t be easy,
but they will be worth the effort
as you understand more English

and you are understood by native speakers."

"I mainly work with young professionals

and I have had the pleasure of teaching English to general managers of one of the biggest banks in Chile. "

Do you ommit the subject because it is a compound phrase?

" He ran, he skipped and he jumped.
