From the above skills audit required for my business I have evaluated different types of skills
which are needed for my future aspects. There are 7 skills which are the most important ones and

these are emotional intelligence, time management, presentation skills, communication abilities,
team work, determination and confidence and proper organization skills. I have rated all the
talents on the basis of excellent, very good, good, average and no skills. It is further been
determined below: -
 Strong communication skills: - On the basis of this skill, it is considered as the most
significant one for a business foundation. I have rated it as good and the reason behind
this is that while learning about business I use to interact with other people which
developed my communication abilities.
 Emotional intelligence: - It mainly means to manage emotions. I have rated it on average
basis because in context with business i was able to recognize and control my emotions
but not able to access other people emotions. So, on the basis of this I was at average
stage.
 Working in a team: - I was very good while working in a team which helped me a lot
during career development. As team work is the most efficient element in a business so
through this I was being very good in interacting with people and doing work along with
whole team.
 Presentation skills: - I rated my presentation skills as good because during my career
development I was presenting everything in an effective way which is significant for me
also as through this I am developing my other talents and abilities.
 Organization skills: - My organization skills are at average stage as I am not able to
properly organize everything. I am presenting everything very good and I am not being
able to organize and manage my career.
 Time management: - It is the best skill of mine and I have rated it on excellent basis. As
per my career aspect I am very punctual and everything is being done within the set
deadline.
 Determination and confidence: - To develop my career every person needs confidence
so that all goals and objectives are achieved. On the basis of this I have rated myself on
average as I was not having much level of confidence.
SWOT analysis: -
Under the SWOT analysis I have determined my own strengths, weakness, opportunities
and threats in an efficient way. This makes an individual to develop them in a better way. It is
being defined below: -
 Strengths: - My strength is that I have good communication skills which help me in
enhancing and developing my career. While doing interaction with other people it helps
me a lot in properly understanding about other individual’s point of view. I have also
strength of working in a team which also helps me in properly organizing everything.
 Weakness: - I have lack of emotional intelligence skills within me which was a weakness
as per my career in business because I am not able to understand other people emotions
