IntroductionPersonal and professional development is one of those crucial aspects for an individual thatdirects the way towards success. Gaining knowledge and acquiring skills are not enough tocontribute to the development of an individual. Self reflection is the process through which onecan revisit the new things one have achieved and contemplate on their significance. Thisenables a person to understand, connect and finally implement the knowledge and skills thatone possesses to utilize its full potentiality. Unless one is aware of the benefits of a particularasset, its full utilization is not possible. Thus, reflection is the way to evaluate one self and comein terms with the negative and positive sides of the individual. This further paves the way fordeveloping oneself personally that automatically facilitates one’s professional development.Moreover, the knowledge and skills acquired through professional necessities also contribute tothe personal development of an individual which makes the person accomplish the objectivesmuch accurately and conveniently.

LO1: Task 1A.[P1.1 and P1.2] Approaches to self-managed learning and ways for lifelonglearning in personal and professional lifeLearning is an expanded process and there is no limit to learning, observes Kasworm (2003).Self-managed learning is one of the processes where an individual initiates the steps to learnsomething new with his or her own intention. Also, self-managed learning is an effective way tolearn and retain the knowledge forever within the person because it is a constant process oflearning and absorbing. The Self-directed Learning Model (SDL) shows four ways throughwhich an individual can gain knowledge (Cooper and Pickering, 2010). It is extremely helpful forthe individual because this is the first step towards self development. Any person is best awareof his or her capabilities and the areas they need to work hard, first personally and then itautomatically leads to their professional growth. Through self-motivation one can takeresponsibility and plan the learning activities accordingly. In the stage of self-management, anindividual can think independently and take decisions as found best suitable under a particularcircumstance, as stated by Mitchell (2013). Self-monitoring is the stage of reflection whereactions are evaluated and next decisions taken base on that. Lastly, through self-modificationthe behavioural aspects can be monitored and updated for accommodating the development,opines Shuttleworth (2008). The best ways to implement the approaches are through socialnetworks, debates, seminars and conferences and so on. For facilitating lifelong learning it is imperative that the person indulges in a process of constantself evaluation through reflection on the committed actions and the areas which seemed to bedisadvantageous while taking the decisions. Constant SWOT analysis of the self is mucheffective for lifelong learning, as one is able to understand where he or she is lacking and takeadequate measures to turn the weaknesses into their strengths, as pointed out by Nestoroskaand Petrovska (2014). Thus, observing, monitoring, analyzing and completing a particular taskand reflecting on the consequences for improving in future is essential in the learning process.Other than this, the internet is a great medium to enhance one’s learning at any point of timeand at any place. Kolb’s model also suggests that knowledge is gained through transformationof experiences (Dąbrowska-Paulewicz et al., 2014). Thus, evaluation of the entire scenario isimportant to support the lifelong development process through learning. 4
