Introduction
Team building skills are one of the most important skills that re required by an individual
in order to work effectively within a team so that desired aim and objectives can be achieved
(Thomas, Morin and Kira, 2017). In this assessment refection upon experience of working within

Kolb’s experimental learning theory is a kind of model which is used for reflecting one’s
