Interaction helps me to boost confidence and develop effective communication in the workplace
(Kim and Lundberg, 2016).
Professional development training: By attending the professional development training
courses, I am able to learn that how to communicate with employees and learnt to speak
confidently in a workplace.

Boost knowledge: I acquired all the relevant knowledge and information for my job role. So,
that I have complete knowledge about job role. Furthermore, having complete information will
help me to be confident to different workplace scenarios where I would be able to make range of
important decisions of how to complete any task, solve problems in the workplace, all these will
help me to enhance my confidence level (Larraz, Vázquez and Liesa, 2017).

making where I would have to require make different on the spot decisions to different scenarios.
But, I am not able to analyse the different situation and make proper decisions (Pan and Seow,
2016).
Teamwork: Teamwork is a crucial factor, I was the team leader of my project, due the lack of
team working skills where I was unable to coordinate the efforts of different individuals in my
team and everyone were doing their own things which brought chaos and confusions in the
project (Plant, Barac and Sarens, 2019).
