TASK- Reflection
Part 1 Reflection on own seminar
I feel very happy and glad that I got the opportunity to participate in the seminar which
was led my students. My topic for the seminar was “Family business” wherein the focus on the
reasons to join the family business and what issues does an individual faces when joining the
family business. This seminar contributed in fulfilling its criteria as it represented all the relevant
and important information which was necessary to bring the understanding of the topic. This
seminar helped me in gaining the knowledge about what issues are faced by the people when
they join the family business which includes lack of shared purpose, trust, more of control and
care and many others. The aim of the seminar was fulfilled as my team was successful in
delivering all relevant information to the attendees. My contribution in this seminar was on
discussing about the issues which are faced by individuals when they join the family business
which involved discussion about lack of trust among family members, lack of shared aim of
running business, more of control and less care and the cordial hypocrisy. These issues helped
me in gaining sufficient knowledge while I was able to deliver my information with certain
examples. When I was preparing for this seminar I got the opportunity to understand the role of
manager, leader and family members in taking forward the vision of family business and striking
right balance between business priorities and family relations.
During the preparation of this seminar and at the time of delivering it, I faced many
hurdles and challenges which included firstly the fear of delivering my information in the
appropriate manner as I fumbled in between due to nervousness as I lack confidence while
standing on stage due to stage fear. But I got to overcome this challenge by building my
confidence as I prepared myself thoroughly for the speech. Another challenge which I faced was
fear of delivering sufficient information to the audience in order to make them understand about
the topic. But I managed to make the people understand about the topic firmly and appropriately
with sufficient information and examples from practical lives by framing hypothetical situations.
After seeing the reaction of public at the time of delivering the information, I felt that the
performance at individual and group level was quite progressive as a lot of improvements came
