1PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Introduction
Personal growth is the ongoing process of realizing and developing oneself to attain the
fullest potential of the individual. Personal development is identified as a fundamental part of an
individual’s growth, maturity, achievements and contentment (Sharf, 2016). It is thus defined as
a foundation of emotional, physical, intellectual as well as spiritual health. Kandler and Zapko-
Willmes, (2017) have noted that personal growth tends to have a profound impact on every facet
of an individual’s life. Personal growth and development not only provide individuals with both
the inducements, motivation and means to develop as the most possible version of them.
Personality development recently has emerged as a new catchphrase because of its significance,
essence and truly possessing a well-developed personality which will facilitate individuals to
attain set goals and objectives. Caniëls, Semeijn and Renders, (2018) further have claimed that
any individual without an accurate vision in life not only shows incompetence to deliver desired
outcomes successfully and further loses significance within the crowd.

Teams are typically formed when individuals with common objectives establish a common
platform and encourage each at every aspect of decision-making procedure. Effective and
accurate communication serves as a vital factor to develop an effective leader or supervisor
(Kandler & Zapko-Willmes, 2017). As communication plays a crucial role in team building, my
communication skill has aided me in extracting the most fruitful outcomes of my team members
with whom I was engaged during my tenure in Goldbell Equipment Vietnam of Goldbell Group
in Singapore. Designated as a Marketing and Sale Strategy Supervisor from 2013-2015 for
almost 2 years, my core responsibilities lied on efficiently managing production of marketing
materials along with supporting preparation as well as rationale of the meeting framework which
included kick-off events, monthly target of teams and proficiently managing internal
communication to the sales team alongside associated activities and external communication.
However, engaged in the role of a supervisor in the sales team, I employed a goal-oriented
leadership style to successfully collaborate organizational aim with my teams’ skills and
capacity.
At this juncture, Menges, (2016) has claimed that as economic times encounter higher rate
of uncertainty, companies have been increasingly seeking for improved proficiencies to amplify
sales operations and aim to capture a more considerable amount of market share. Thus,
efficiently executing a productive team necessitates exceptional leadership techniques. As a
supervisor, I have spent my two years in this company by studying behavioural patterns of
successful salespeople of my team. Such an evaluation has aided my understanding in realizing
high-performance ability of some of my teammates who possess strong personalities. Thus to
efficiently harmonize my managing techniques of communicating with internal associates, I used
to express my vision and strategies to motivate my teammates and help them achieve them with

maximum productivity. Team involvement, effective, responsive skills along with timely
communication was the primary features of my goal-oriented leadership style (Cai et al., 2015).
This style of my leadership has made my communication skill as a highly effective one and
helped me to enhance my communication ability in prospective career choices.
Communication plays a crucial role in public relations. Thus it is essential to establish
proper communication base between both agencies so that organizations can easily relate to each
other. van Osch, Steinfield & Balogh, (2015) have stated the way domain of Public relations has
received a substantial amount of success over the years and further shaped attitudes and
perceptions of individuals. Such increasing growth in the field of Public relations has aided me to
engage in the role of Film Marketing & PR Analyst, in my present company named “CJ CGV
Vietnam Co. Ltd” where I develop vital media contacts and maintain improved association with
several media personalities and work an integrated manner with journalists for media or film
coverage opportunities and leverage the writing techniques of employees of my organization.
Employed as a PR Analyst, I have often encountered challenges when clients alter their
strategies without any prior intimidation. For example “While marketing a campaign a month
before the actual event was taking place, our company was left with only two agencies.
However, at the eleventh-hour withdrawal of one of the selected companies posed uncertain
challenges to my company.” However, my flexibility and relationship building skill has helped
me to efficiently handle that situation as I successfully gathered other agencies to attend our
campaign and successfully generated desired outcomes and goals for my organization.
At this juncture, I should delve into the initial professional experiences I have attained
from my first job as a PR- Event Assistant in Golden communication Co. Limited, Vietnam.
