3

problem in the effective manners. The training and development program make the person so

Organisation . the individual person are able to solve the critical problem in the profitable

I have experience and attained the personal and professional development programs where in
have develop various skills like effective communication and how to conduct the research in
the proper manners. I also learned how to make the good decision in the real life as well as in
the professional life. It also help me to interact with another people in the most effective ways
so that information is shared in the proper manners and outcomes can be achieved in the most
productivity ways. I have learned how to balance the different task at the same time and
compete them within the time period as it will develop the time management skills in mew at the
work place. I have also develop the team work capabilities where different type of people are
working for the common goals and working with each other in the prefect pattern. I have also
experience that self management is a must needed skills which everyone needs to have in their
life so that they are able to reach at their stage where they always wanted to be. The Gibbs
reflective cycle helps the person to evaluate what they have learned during these programs
which helps them to build the good professions in the organisation.
Gibbs reflective cycle: it is model which provide the individual a frame work to learn while
having experience about doing the activities and develop the new capabilities which will simply
the their work and can achieve the desire level of outcomes the one wants in their life. It helps
4

the person to examine the experience and find of the effective results and improve their
personality which will grow their personal and profession life. This model help the person to
execute the task in the most profitable manners so that they can grow in their personal life also
by developing the various skills and abilities which focus on moving in positive direction of
the life. There are various different stages in this model which helps the person to learn and
understand the experiences in better manners.
Description: according to this stage, the individual provide the information such as what was
the purpose of the events and where it was carried out , who are the parties involved in the
events . it helps in showing how the person as well as another person learn from the situation
which take place in their personal and professional life and what are the results of such situation
which have impact on the behaviour of the person while performing for the organisation or
working for their personal reasons . I have also engaged with the training and development
programs which covers the employability and study skills which person can learn by going
though these activities in present or in the long period. These development helps me in building
the effective communication skills where i was able to express on point of view with another
people of the team and i learned how to work in the team so that desire outcomes can be seen
in personal and career life. Here I also learned about the information and communication
technology which reduces the manual work of the person at the work place and improve the
performance to the next level in the personal and work environment. The individual learn about
the essence about the work events and personal event which happen in person life from where
are able to learn the different type of skills to manage such situation in the most profitable
manners . here the person description the what was the event that look after in their life whether
at real life or the work place. the individual are able to examine the event that look place in
their life and what they have learned from these situation. (Brücknerová, and Novotný, 2017)
Feelings: it is considered as the second stage where the person express its feeling about the
situation and the event in their are involved. I have come to know that employability and study
skills pushes the individual person to improve their personality by learning various skills which
help employees to perform better in the given task and activities so that they can competitive at
target market place. the employees also have a feel that employability skills provide a way
where they can achieve the outcomes or the final results in the most effective pattern . here the
person notes about their feeling about the event took place in their life and before such situation
5

occurs and after such condition is ended in their life. Here the person are aware about their
skills and area of improvement while going thought such programs in the organisation and learn
the new things such as research skills which will help the person to make effective investigation
about the different topic and draw the useful results which can be beneficial for the
organisation and another worker in the work place. I have a feeling that my skills which help in
solving the problems in the most profitable manners need little bit of modification to improve
it in proper manner and give the effective results in the end. The person are made to know their
feeling at the time of conducting the events what are the things that individual feels that are
missing in the event what more they can learn from the employability skills which can enhance
their productivity in the management level of the organisation. Here person are focus on the
feeling they have while going thought the events what they have learned in the task and in their
personal life. (Gómez Palacio and Gómez Vargas, , 2018)
Evaluation: here the individual needs to examine what worked for him in the given situation or
what does not work for them in the event or the situation. It is my personal experience that I
have draw the positive as well as the negative aspect of the situation which are present in my
personal and profession life. The individual measure the skills and knowledge which are needed
to perform the task in the efficiency ways and they can learn these skills by joining the
development programs where person can evaluate the requirement of the task in the work place
and adopt to new skills. I have evaluated that effective communication skills are important at
the work place as it helps in sharing the information in the systematic manner where all the
member of the organisation are aware about their roles and duties which lead to competing the
task in the prefect manners. The individual also learn about the ICT information and
communications technology skills which helps the employees to perform better in the given task
and achieve the results in the target market places. I have also realized that person needs to learn
to manage its time in the proper manner so that effective results can be seen in the organisation
and in the personal life of the person. Another evaluation which I notes is that problem solving
skills are needful for the person so that effective outcomes can be taken out for the individual or
for the organisation. The person needs to learn to solve the various different type of problem
which are present in the management level as well as in their life so that they can learn to handle
the stress and solve the task in appropriates manners.

Analysis: according to this stage, I have analysis that whatever I learned from the employability
and study skills helped me to analyse the particular situation present in the organisation and in
my real life. I was to able analysis the new skills which I and another people of the
organisation have learned from these development programs how to make the strong the
communication which helps in sharing the effective information with the team member to
achieve the desire outcomes of the organisation are analysed in proper manner. Further , how to
be more productivity at any events are been analyses by the person and what corrective measure
can be taken are learned by the person. The person also examine various areas such as time and
self management at the work place so that effective conclusion can be draw by the person and
achieved the productivity results in the most profitable manners. Individual also make the
effective attempt to learn the research skills which are necessary before making the effective and
strong business decision or personal decision about the any given situation. The person also
learn skills which how to use the technology in their life so that any task can be performed in
the most proper manners and achieve the objectives as per the pre-determine goals. (Cox,. and
Courneya, 2016)
Conclusion: under this phase the individual are able to make the effect conclusion after
evaluating the events and their performances in the given task or the activities so that proper
measure can be taken to perform the certain areas. I was able to examine and evaluate my skills
and capabilities which I have learned from the employability and study skills development
programs and find out the areas which needs improvement and learn new skills so that better
results can be concluded by the person. I have also realized that sound communication skills
helps the person to make the proper and effective in sharing about their thoughts and ideas
which make all difference in personal and professional life of the individual person. I have also
noticed that team work is important for the employees of the organisation so that effective results
can be draws and improve the inputs of the person in their personal life and stay focus on
achieving the desire profits in the shortest time period. I have also realized that learning
advance technology which help the worker to compete the task in the most effective and
profitable manners.

to improve my performances in the organisation and I will join these development programs on
the regular bases which help to learn new skills and capabilities at the organisation place as well

With the help of personal and professional development process I was able to have effective
communication skills which help in achieving the desire in the organisation and i was able to
build the strong relationship with my close one such as friends and family where I can express
my point of view with the people. I have also learn how to work in the team and achieve the
desire outcomes in the most effective and proper manners. After joining the these development
programs I am able to put my best inputs in the team and achieve the outcomes as the plan and
improve the productivity of the organisation . I have also develop the decisions making skills
which help me in making correct decision about my personal life or in the professional work. I

results can be drawled by the employees of the organisation and stay focus on achieving the
