and the transferable skills
1.1 Identification and reflection on my approach to personal
learning and development
Personal development or the self improvement includes the activities which
develops the individuals potential and capabilities, facilitating employibility increasing
the life quality, building human capital and also the dream realization and
aspirations(Vogler and et, al., 2018). Personal development might take place in the
entire life of a human and not limited to one phase of the individuals life. It consists of
the informal and official actions for the development of others in roles like guide,
teacher, manager, counselor, mentor or coach and not limited to self aid. If personal
development happens at the institutions level it is called programs, methods,
tools,techniques and system of assessment offered for supporting the affirmative
development at the level of individual in the business organizations. So in short it is a
process of enhancing and developing ones personality. It aids the person in gaining
the confidence and self esteem. It has a positive effect on the skills of
communication and how does they perceive the world. It will play vital part in my
development and progress. It will allow me in exploring significant area of growth for
getting the feeling of accomplishment in my life. It will assist me to get more
benefits for making my career and life more successful. With the aid of personal
learning and development I will efficiently and effectively figure out about what I need
to do in my future for the achievement of my goal. It'll make me to get clarity and
information about my goals of career. By the setting of achievable and clear goals, I
will get encouragement for achieving the goals effectively. All this will aid me in
learning all the new things and build the new skills for my academic and
professional career effectively. By skill development it will aid me to enhance the
success chance, manifestation of my dreams and achievement of the goals of career
and personal in best way(Salam and et, al., 2019).
1.2 Identification of the transferable skills I have already developed
by attending this module
Transferable skills refers to the proficiencies which are very useful in the
different industries and jobs. They can be used for positioning the experience of the
past for applying to the new job in a different sector(McDonald, Boulton and Davis,
2018). For ex- employers look for the candidates who have the strong skills of
communication. There are many skills which can be transferred to the employers
which the person already possess. Here are some skill which I can transfer to my
new employer-
 Communication- Strong skills of communication is known as the ability of
imparting information to the others by the way of speaking, writing etc. Skills
3

of communication will aid me to know when do I have to ask the questions,
reading the language of body and talking to the peoples. In the place of the
work employers have communicators for the ability for working with the other
people and move the projects(Gogiberidze and et, al., 2019).
 Dependability- It includes the qualities which makes the employees
trustworthy. It consists of the responsibility, organisation and punctuality. Each
employer seek the candidates whom they can trust for completing the tasks
on time. They trust the same individuals for successfully managing
assignments, managing and goals.
 Teamwork- It is the ability of working with the others towards the common
objectives and goals. Effective team work needs different qualities like active
listening, empathy, strong communication. Effective teamwork will help me in
interviews for understanding how well I will work with others in the firm.
 Adaptability- These skills are used for continuing the work towards the
objectives and goals even if the projects, teams, goods or management
changes. Employers prefer to recruit those candidates which learn quickly the
new skills and procedures for ensuring the work is completed fast, effectively
and in positive way.
 Leadership- These are those skills which consists of qualities of building
relationship, strong communication and dependability. Skill of leadership can
be transferred to many sectors as every employer value the individuals who
can effectively manage and organize the team for achievement of shared
goals and objectives(Gacs, Goertler and Spasova, 2020).
 Decision making- It is the most appealing to the employers as it represents
the betters judgement and confidence which is the valuable in any sectors. It
needs the analysis of a situation , predicting the possible results and coming
with solution in a time frame.
1.3 Skills I would like to develop during my academic studies,
personal life and the workplace
I need to develop several skills in my personal life, academic career and place of the
work for conducting the activities in a better way. It consists of leadership, taking of the
decision, management of time and skills of communication. All these are those skills which I
want to improve for taking my professional career ahead(Collins, 2018). By developing the
skills of decision making I will be able to take the decisions in a better way for resolving the
issues and take decisions in my job. It will also aid me in taking crucial decisions in my
4

personal life and career. Skills of leadership is the significant skill which I would like to
develop for managing and controlling the teams for improvement in my career in better
way. Skills of the time management is the other vital skill which I must develop in my
studies, personal life and place of work which will make me more better for organizing the
every task with proper time for completing on time and take time for social and personal
life. Skill of communication is the skills which I want to develop as it will make other
understand what I want to speak and make my career more better(Williams, Woolliams
and Spiro, 2020).
