INTRODUCTION
Reflective writing is basically an analytical a piece of writing where the writer explores a
real or an imaginary event or an experience and adds personal reflection in its meaning. There is
an integration of feelings and emotions of writer in the complete writing rather than making it
descriptive (Asfeldt, Hvenegaard and Purc-Stephenson, 2018). The purpose of this report is to
reflect on the experience where the skills of an individual are enhanced and the ways in which
they are developed. The complete report used the Gibbs’ reflective cycle which has sic phases
which helps in describing the experience systematically. It is basically a detailed framework
which helps in examining experiences and its cyclic nature also helps in repeated experiences
and also allows us to learn and plan the things that were good as well as bad which must be
improved in further works for personal and professional development. The report overall
expressed the need for developing the new skills and enhancing the existing skills for developing
the person personally and professionally.
GIBBS’ REFLECTIVE CYCLE
Description
I have attended the skill improvement campaign that has supported my skills
improvement and development. This campaign has guided me to boost my existing skills along
with developing new skills to enhance my overall capabilities of performing operations. I also
carried certain skills like verbal communication skill, research skill, time management skill and
at some level problem solving skill. All these skills I carried has allowed me in performing my
operations in the best way possible. Some skills I am not good at are written communication,
ICT skill, self-management skill and some other skills. The skill development campaign I
attended has guided me in improving the overall personality of mine (Design, Allen and Wolf,
2019). This campaign has guided me to boost my existing skills along with it supported various
techniuques that can develop my new skills so that overall development of my personality can be
conducted. Different strategies suggested that can drive the improvement in my overall
personality. We are also suggested evaluation techniques to assess the growth and development
in my existing skills and new skills I am going to acquire as a result of this skill development
campaign.
