Applying Gibbs module: As I am working in Volkswagen group in the UK as a
marketing office and I'm responsible to proper completion of marketing activities in order to
raise profitability within the organisation (Klockenkämper and Von Bohlen, 2014). I have learnt
several new marketing skills and experience within the organisation while completion of our

of cycle by which I will be able to explore my self in our professional job performances. As I
was working under my senior marketing manager in Volkswagen firm, I have done many
marketing and advertisement exercises at various region in the country and by which I have
learnt several new skills of effective marketing which can lead my future success effectively.
According to Gibbs reflective module I have learnt that there are several activities done by me in
the organisation and some gives me positive reflection and various times I was not able to
completion of some effective marketing activities properly at the workplace. So I need describe
properly about what has been done by within the organisation while falling on completion of
those works. I need to examined what is our feeling while completion of those activities in more
effective form. What is the thinking of my related to the work and I need to explore themselves
to know the weakness of my while interacting with new customers in the market. I can evaluate
those criteria properly and analysed that weak communication skills affected by marketing
efforts negatively and according to appropriate action plan on those areas I can develop some

According to evaluation information gained through Gibbs reflective module, I have
explored myself by several activities and figure out the areas in which I can develop myself in
order to proper improvement in the performance within my professional life. It can be stated that
it is totally different from my previous knowledge about to several marketing areas in auto-
mobile industry. By Gibbs reflective approach I can evaluate myself and find out some weak
areas in which I need to improve essentially in order to ameliorate marketing performance and in
order to raise sales of the organisation as well (Vedung, 2017). In previous knowledge I could
not have find out the actual issue and barriers in front of marketing job and I was nit able to
improve them properly by self examination within the firm effectively. From this module, I'm
able to figure out those areas in which I can explore myself and apply some approach to make
effective marketing effort in Volkswagen group so that my future performance in marketing
sector can be improved appropriately. With the help of the reflective module I could have
examined the evaluation of some areas in which I need to assess what is weak category for me

could not have able to satisfy my customers within the organisation effectively because of weak
