REFLECTION

The Five stages of Gibbs model of reflection
Description- A project was conducted which included the description regarding PHI which is
the health insurance that is often bought by private patients. There are number of direct type of
health insurance such as direct and indirect which have different ways of premium collection
that I came to know while I was working on this project. It was important to understand the
concept and make everyone else do the same. I have always been hesitant to take the lead. Due
to this the group have to face issues while choosing a leader as no one is willing to take this
responsibility.
Feelings- At the beginning of the task it was important for everyone in group to understand
the concept of PHI. Along with it the necessity to bring everyone in group together towards
the same purpose was important. There are a number of instances where I had a mixed
intention regarding my team and all its members. We were confused as the strengths and
weaknesses of everyone in team was not clear. It was important to make communication and
decide on what is important for group and derive a plan to complete the project on time.
Evaluation- While everyone in group came up with new ideas and there own way to complete
the task we also had to face some issues between some members in groups. Due to different
backgrounds and culture it was difficult for everyone to accept the point of view of others. I
made sure to make efforts and communicate to everyone in order to understand their mind set.
It was a good experience knowing everyone and working with them.
Conclusion-After the evaluation of tasks related to project and also evaluation of strengths
and weakness of everyone in team we came on a conclusion to choose a leader and divide
tasks amongst all the team members. There were division of tasks made on the basis of
introduction to project, various impact of PHI in different nations, demand in different
economies, its advantages, disadvantages and then recommendation at the end. The division of
tasks made it easy to assign every one with their activities.
Action-After the division of task a schedule was made. We decided to meet twice a week in
order to discuss the development of each activities allotted to group members. It was necessary
to conduct these meeting in order to understand if any of the individual is stuck or need helps.
The project was really helpful for me to generate good communication skills and time
management skills as well. I learned ways to handle conflicts. When working in a team it is

necessary for people to work together taking into account the strengths and weaknesses of
others. It is also necessary to develop good listening skills which I did while working on this
project. Good listening skills allowed me to listen carefully to my team members and take their
opinion in my work. It is necessary to accept criticism in order to do better which I understood
while completing this task.
