INTRODUCTION
Personal and professional development is termed as a procedure that allows an
organisations or individual to continuously learn. This allows them to fulfil future desired
objectives and challenges in effective way (Clivaz and Langenbach, 2020). While on the other
hand, reflection is an analytical practice through which an individual describe or access his past
experiences and actions. It facilitate an individual to access their own experience and identify
self strengths and weaknesses through which they can assure their future growth and
development in efficient manner. Present report has been made on reflection of professional and
personal managerial and leadership skills such as time management, presentation, stress
management and more. For this Kolb's reflective cycle is considered.
EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS
There are various forms of employability skills that allows an individual to assure higher
personal and professional growth. These are such as time management, leadership, organised
meeting, presentation skills and leadership style. With these skills, they can also maximise their
career opportunity growth in effective manner (Lazenby, McCulla and Marks, 2020).
Management
Management skills possess the tendency to provide assistance to an individual in carrying
out the day to day tasks within any settings in an effective manner. According to my perception,
by undertaking advantage of management skill, an individual can have access to wide range of
growth opportunities. This skill has been developed by me with the assistance of coaching and
counselling. This skill facilitates me to be a multitasker and save my unnecessary time through
which I can effectively be able to maximise my productivity as an individual.
Leadership
Leadership skills is having an effective tendency through which an individual can
effectively guide or motivate individuals or group towards a certain goal or shared objectives.
With the assistance of these skills accomplishment of goals can be assured with great efficiency
(Karlberg and Bezzina, 2020). It has been evaluated by me that, leadership skill is not inborn in
me, this skill has been duly acquired by me through observation. As I used to observe behaviour
of my seniors, peers and subordinates that enhanced leadership skill in me. This skill allows me
to effectively guide or lead other individuals towards underlined goals and objectives.
