It is crucial for me write an self-reflection and utilize and effective model such as
the Gibbs Cycle as it is an essential technique the provides assistance in continuous
assessment of overall self enhancement and improving upon personal skills in the long-
term aspect. The model consist of six stages which makes it highly effective in self
assessment (Dwyer and Davidson, 2020). The model will enable me to understand my
educational experience and give me a detailed overview of my performance and
behaviour relative to my education. Given below are the six stage of the model in
context to my education experience and communication skills:
1. Description: In my education I focuses on business management and was able
to gain high-level of valuable knowledge along with understanding of the effective
business management. This factor of the Gibbs Cycle includes the description of
thing relative to what I have done. I was able to learn various aspect in my
eduction that enabled me to improve upon my weakness and overcome my fear.
In addition to this I was able to make friend during my education and only feel
confident why presenting myself in front of an audience. I had good mentors that
enabled me to enhance my communication skills and provide me proper
guidance which enhance my educational experience.
2. Feelings: This section of the model consist of the educational experience I had
while studying business management During my initial weeks I was not well
prepared and felt out of touch with the course and people. But over time I was
able to use my effective communication skills to introduce myself and my opinion
son various topics in order to effective express myself. I was also able to use my
listening and questioning skills which provided me assistance during my
education to gain value knowledge relative to business management and ask my
mentors appropriate question that would broaden my perspective relative to my
subjects (Huston and et. al., 2018). In addition to this all these communication skills
also helped me in interacting with other which helped me in establishing
meaningful friendships which enhanced my education experience.
