2PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Introduction
• Your perceptions and feelings at the start of the module
At the start of the module I felt that I will not be able to carry on the activities properly or answer
the questions in a proper manner. However, when the assignment finally began, I started feeling
comfortable and realized that this is one of the best opportunities to work over my areas of
weakness and nourish my strengths.
• Your learning journey and/or professional life to date (though keep description brief)
I have also made sure to write about the different experiences that I had after finishing up each of
my assignment activities (Jackson, 2014). This had surely been very helpful for me, as I could
connect them with the different activities that have taken place in my life and take steps for the
future.
• Your career aspirations and the main skills you feel need developed to achieve these
I aspire to attain a good managerial position in future. It is for this reason that I have to develop a
good communication and decision making skill.
• Your awareness of development needs before you undertook the module based on previous
feedback
I knew that I had to work on my decision-making skills and also on my communication level.
These skills would surely help me to stain a good professional position in future.
• Any literature on importance of PPD generally or your career path specifically
It is through this self-reflection that I have tried my level best to set a routine that will help me
in setting the goals that I want to achieve in future, I want to attain a good profession in future. In

2014). I have also undertaken several activities that have been very helpful for me in reflecting
on the past experiences and on the mental state that I had (Green, Jarratt and Mahaffie 2018).
PPD has been very helpful for me as I could progress in a step by step manner. I had to work on
my decision making skill (Harris, Pattie and McMahan 2015). This PPD helped me to develop a
clear understanding about the resources and the proper time period that I will be requiring to
carry on with this job (Maher et. 2017).

Activity 1
Learning styles workshop
Aim-The primary objective is to develop my skill in the aspect of decision making
Objectives
I think that the main purpose of making this reflection is because I want to measure the level of
my personal development.
Gender diversity in leadership is one of the most important concepts that I have learned in the
course of this personal development activity.
Background
I have to reflection for action method in order to learn some useful lessons after the
reflection (Cottrell 2015). However, this has really been very helpful because it is because of the
activity that I came to know about the other skills that might get developed during the course of
these activities.
Process
I have been really lucky as I got the chance of using the Honey and Mumford style as a
part of this assignment. This has really been very useful for the purpose of my personal
development as well. The honey and Mumford style has been very useful for me. This helped me
to gather a good knowledge about my strengths and weaknesses as well. I had been working as
part of the group project. It was a group assignment that was being done by the rest of the
classmates as well (Capranzano et al. 2016). I was I itia.ly very tensed as I thought that I will not
