Task 1
Reflect on your performance in the group presentation AND in the module thus
far
What have you learnt?
I have been able to attend that classes of the module “Preparing for Success – Self
Development and Responsibility" and have even completed a group work that included
a presentation. During my teamwork I have been able to enhance my skill of
communication including listening actively and talking as well as writing including
controlling my emotions and managing my stress level. The task has allowed me to
access various websites and books as well as journal which has assisted me in
improving my reading skills. I have realised that I have been able to manage my task as
well as time effectively and has been able to meet deadlines with an enhancement in
my skills of presentation. It is worth noting that the teamwork assists in developing skills
of problem-solving including negotiation as well as leadership and collaboration and
allows an individual to think critically (Simko et al., 2017). I have understood with the
experience that teamwork that it helps in gaining various perspectives on a single
subject which has assisted accomplishment of the task effectively and efficiently.
It is worth noting that the skills of negotiation play a vital role in teamwork and with
effective communication verbally misunderstandings are reduced when the group is
actively listening (Oxelmark et al., 2017). This has helped in building rapport and has
enhanced my skills in making useful decisions with assertiveness. I have been able to
improve self-efficacy with better control on my behaviour as well as personal motivation,
gaining higher confidence. Self-efficacy advancement helps in being calm even when
tasks considered challenging approaches and has been assisting me by acting as the
adrenaline driving motivation (Doménech-Betoret et al., 2017). I have realised that self-
observation with self-judgement as well as time for self-reaction is of great help in
enhancing self-efficacy. It is worth noting that I have been able to accept any constraints
and with a greater ability of responsibility I have been able to turn them into
development steps. Self-responsibility is vital for professional as well as personal
