INTRODUCTION
For personal growth and development, it is necessary to gain various types of study skills
and knowledge. This is because it helps in competing with others and in professional
development (Azhar and Zainuddin, 2017). There are variety of skills that needs to be possessed
by individual. It includes time management, communication, etc. the skills are gained through
experience or by doing task. This report is reflective journal which will describe about how
completion of specific task contributed in improving study and employability skills.
MAIN BODY
It is necessary to evaluate experience of individual so that learning and achievement are
identified. The cycle helps people to think effectively and in systematic manner. the model was
developed by Graham Gibbs in 1988. It is considered as a good way to work by an experience. It
begins with description and with the action plan. Between that there is a cycle that can be
explained below. (Gibbs reflection model, 2016).
Description
This is the first and foremost step that describes the situation in detail without mentioning
the conclusion. Such as what happened, when it happened and many more. It involves the full
description that is include while making the presentation. At present, I am working on a topic
CSR. Through this topic I gain the idea about the concept of the CSR and how it is accountable
to achieve the goals of a firm (Bruno and Dell’Aversana, 2017). I have prepared group
presentation that helped me or carry out the proper ideas and skills regarding CSR.
Communication skills plays a major role of an individual whether it is verbal communication or
written communication. Team leader communicate with me about CSR and its various aspects
Feeling- It is a phase regarding the feelings as this step describes about the feeling and thoughts
of someone mention in the first step. The intention of this topic is not to discuss the various
feeling within detail as there is no judgement that is done on the basis of emotion. Here the most
vital goal of this phase is awareness. Because it is the most difficult job for the individuals for
talking about the feelings. Earlier I was not aware about that my communication skills are weak
and while talking to my team leader I realised that I feel very shy and hesitate while discussing
the topic (Zulfikar and Mujiburrahman, 2018). Than my team leader advice me in doing
research on topic CSR so I got to know how to do research collect and analysis data in this way
my research skills was improved so within future. I will be able to do research for collecting data
