Introduction
Self appraisal as the name suggest it is the procedure of evaluating my own strength,
weakness and learning, by self appraisal I got to know more about my self (Davey and et.al,
2017). This report will explain about my communication skills, team work, inter-personnel,
problem solving and team management skills, how I use such skills to sort out my problems have
been mentioned in this report. This report helps me to improvise my own skills and knowledge.

This model is given by Graham Gibbs which is focused on “ Learning my doing”. This
model has helped me a lot to know different situations and how I can implement my strength in
different situations on the same how can I overcome my weakness so that I achieve all the goals
of my life.
Description
In the year 2015 I have completed my masters degree in marketing, and I was very sure
in my mind that I want to become Marketing manager one day, and currently I am working as a
marketing manager in one of the big company, here I have to manage a team of 10 people who
are working under me (Wain, 2017). To guide them, my communication skill help me a lot,
From the academics I was good in the communication skills whether it is a written
communication of verbal, due to which I get a lot of advantage like in my academics, due to
having strong communication I was able to give presentation easily, and the audience can
understand everything which I want to explain them. Along with this I was continuously working
to develop more efficiency in the communication owing to this habit I got many career
opportunities in my life. As my dream was to become a marketing manager and communication
plays a great role in this field, due to having strong grip on communication I am able to convince
people, so this skill is helping me a lot in my career. Being a manager I have to sort out the
queries of customers as well due to good communication I am doing it very well.
Feelings
when I was new to this postilion I was worried that how will I manage such a huge team
and I was not having any prior experience of marketing manager so my teamwork skill was not
good even people of team were not cooperating me so my team work skill was not up to the
mark I was not able to guide them as well but as the time passage I learnt a lot from others and I
overcome this issue now I am able to guide my team even they are also approaching me
