1EVALUATION AND REFLECTION
Task 1
Entry 1a
Many a times the critical situation brings out the flair that might have not been
discovered by an individual. Even some times we get to learn the ability to manage the difficult
situation after facing the challenges and hurdles in the way to achieve success. Similarly, I have
been learning various measures and ways to mitigate problems and finding proper way out to the
solution after confronting various challenges. I have understood to take preventive measures and
implement tackling strategies to identify the problem, evaluate the risk and solve it accordingly.
The reflective report will show the investigation on the knowledge and experience that can be
gained with the help of the Gibbs model to reflect on the development of the professional
context.
The chosen reflective model is Gibb’s model. It simply acknowledges the personal
feelings that had been influenced or studied by a particular situation. It also shows the impact
and the actions that were reflected during the situation. It breaks down the reflection of the
situation in 6 different stages where first the situation is critically described in brief then into
evaluation of the situation then analyzing and implementing the actions that could be taken in
situation arising in future. This reflection model clearly links the experience with the learning
and the future practices that need to be taken into consideration.
After applying the Gibb’s reflective model to the situation the three main things that have
been learned by me are to gain self confidence and never lose it easily; managing time is the key
to success and communication is another way of motivation.

2EVALUATION AND REFLECTION
Lack of self confidence can lead to poor performance and even failure some time. This I
understood from my past experiences that with confidence I can never become a successful
person. Developing self confidence is mandatory rather than making it optional. Self confidence
makes a difference in desire and achieving what I need. It aims to accomplish the dream that I
thought I could never achieve. Self confidence help to choose the right way and make the correct
decisions aligned with desire and values. It will make me productive and help to manage time
wisely. Self confident can boost with the energy that I am confident with my abilities and in
terms of productive (Edison 2016). Leadership quality includes self confidence and confidence
includes being aware of self. Confidences will also a play key role in my ambition of becoming a
successful manager and an honest person in life. It will help me to enhance my leadership skill
and get my goals accomplished. My recent experience in the reflective model I realized that
confidence is more important than my skills and knowledge as it helps me to make difficult
decisions and competent.
Managing time is another factor that I have learnt from PPDI. It is crucial and in my
experience I have learned that it is significantly crucial because time is limited and I have lot to
achieve. Time management will help me to learn to control time and my activities that will also
improve my ability to focus. Increased focus enhances efficiency. Managing is the key to success
and it is wisely clear to me as I have seen that while I manage time I make the correct decision.
Correct decision is termed to those decisions where I eliminate the unnecessary activities and
prioritize the importance task. I understood the difference between important and urgent which is
an essential knowledge I have learned I think. As I made the difference between this both now I
have discover the power of list-making. I also learned that once I learned managing time it will
reduce the process of rushing and pressure instead I started examining the situation and make

decisions carefully. It is to my belief that now I will be able to become a good manager who is
capable of completing the task and beating deadlines much easier.
Communicating with others is important as it helps in building relationship with others. I
also recognized that mastering my ambition it is necessary to build relationship. Building
relationship is promoted by the help of communication. It will let me to establish trust around my
people which will be beneficial for me. Hence, communication is also motivating in nature. It
motivates me to accomplish my goals and do work without hesitant. Communication is also
crucial as it will help me to achieve my dream of becoming a manager. It will help me to serve
the organization where I work in a more effective way such as I can give the employee feedback
on their performance, and then I can build teams. I can encourage the employees to make their
own decision and with my communication skill I can also increase morale, productivity
effectively (Carnegie 2017). Communication skill is also helpful in place where I can manage to
conflicts and help resolve the same. My communicating skill will facilitate a two way dialogue in
executing performance appraisals.
In my life, I have had various opportunities to learn but I never looked into deep with
these skills. However, in my recent experiences I have been learning to manage time which is an
essential skill that I was lacking before. Previously I used to believe there is not much need of
communication with others because I can complete my task with my own capabilities and
knowledge. This is completely wrong and not only communication help in promoting healthy
relation but also enhances the soft skill that is required in future. I also even never focused upon
boosting confidence in me because may be I did not faced such crisis or I did not understood the
importance of it. These three skills are related to each other and are nourished each time the
events take place. The composition of the level of challenge faced is also the main force that
