It enables theindividual to performance their work effectively. It helps in order to achieve objective at bothpersonal as well as professional level. This report is based on the development of self-managedlearning in order to enhance personal and professional level of an individual. This report ispresented in context with Hotel Travelodge.

The assignment manager of the organisationhas been implementing various strategies in order to improve production and creation of hotel(Berk, 2017).

Under this strategies are implemented such as self-direction,self-development and action related to understanding. While working as an assistant manager inHotel Travelodge, I had implemented various strategies in order to enhancing skills of theiremployees (Bukor, 2015). For effective outcomes goal and objectives while consideringstrategies should be clear. It improves the effectiveness and enhances the results. My objective oforganising these activities is to improve planning, implementation and managing skills. For thiscertain activities were organised by me such as communication and planning. Being an assistantmanager, I had attended various seminars (Travelodge Hotel.. 2016). In that seminar, I always came to know that for effective communication skill, individualshould read newspapers, books, articles and so on. Along with this for effective results, Iencouraged my subordinates for proper practices. In order to develop effective learning skills, lprovided various challenges and asked employees to provide solutions (Chok and et. al., 2017).1
With the help of this activity, my subordinated started thinking and implemented concepts tosolve those problems. It help them in order to expand their thinking. Along with this, Iencouraged them for participating into various conferences, seminars and learning activities(Etale- Educate, Innovation, Experimentation. 2017). With the help of this their skills areenhanced effectively. I also implement these strategies in order to enhance my skills. Such asreading newspaper, articles. I had also attended various seminars, which turned me into managerwith effective skills (Chretien and et. al., 2015). In order to get effective results, I haveimplemented Kobl's learning cycle. This process consists of four cycles such as concreteexperience, reflective observation, abstractive observation and experimentation. These fourcycles further distributed into four stages such as driving, assimilating, converging andaccommodation. Under driving step, I provided different prospective to my employees forfeeling and watching, in next step watching and thinking takes place. Under third step doing andthinking strategies is implemented by me, where in last task, I have organised doing and feelingstep of the employees (Cottrell, 2015). 1.2 Way for encouraging professional and personal learning.There are various ways are available in order to implement professional and personallearning skills effectively. Such as effective and lifelong learning. On the basis of them lifelonglearning is considered as most influencing.

Though providing enhanced skills they are able to increase productivity and growth ofcompany. While providing learning to the employees, they are not going to consider, formal ordescriptive approach. Instead of that they give preference to the practical approach. Along withthe organisation is organising some activities and providing way to employees in order toencourage. Such as providing reading material in the form of newspaper, articles. They are alsoinvolving employees into discussion and decision-making process (Cox, Bachkirova andClutterbuck, eds., 2014).
