in order to analyse the competence of an individual while developing long term learning in
practices (Beausaert, Segers and Gijselaers, 2011). This theory is having great relevance in
developing skills and competencies for the long term learning for the personal development
plan of individual. I am constantly following this particular theories of cognitive load theory in
order to develop long term learning in practical. I am using the various aspects of this theory

according to the stage of development.

effectively in the working environment to make good interaction and relationship with other
people. This theory particular theories considers the three stages of development of effective
interpersonal skills in actions which involves the entry stage, personal stage and the exit stage.
The entry stage helps me to develop an basic interaction with the people to know about him.
This is the first introduction in the meeting of two people. While next to this I will try to
communicate with the person in order to understand the other individual behaviours, actions
3

and tastes and preferences which helps in maintaining and good trustworthy and interactive
relationship with him. Most of the relations are strengthened in this stage. I can developed an
good relationship through interacting confidently and with showing huge interest to interact
with the person. These skills highly beneficial in development large networks in working
environment and also helps in carrying out tasks and jobs in coordination with higher
satisfaction and confident level in working environment. While some time there is conditions of
unfruitful relationship and incompatibility between the two people and they are unable to
manage the relationship of good interaction then they exit with the relationship. Here are the
problem arises because the person is not having good interpersonal skills and incompetence to
develop good profitable interaction with they other people. This effect the personal develop and
and the growth of organisation both.
Personal competence- The individual should have various competencies in the behaviour which
helps in developing good interpersonal skills. This helps in enhancing the strength of the the
individual. These skills and personal competence really helpful in development of an effective
level of interpersonal skills in nature. The individual can bring various type of the compatibility

the personal skills and interpersonal skills. I have shy nature while interacting with the other
people. This is having great restriction in development of good network and making relation
with the other subordinates and the colleagues. Shy nature of mine creates huge problem in
4

development of good relationship with the people. This creates an huge problem in influencing
other people and developing an interactive connection with other. Interpersonal skills are
important for the personal development plan. I am developing various skills along with this
respective interpersonal skill development plan in my personalty development actions.

much important to considered by the individual. I should take care of the future growth
opportunities that are available to me by developing my interpersonal skills. I can develop

personality efficiently.

individual. In 1980 the communication theory is given by S. F. Scudder who stated that all
living beings communicate with each other but uses different modes of communication
(Hallam, 2010). All the individual whether its plant, animal or human being interact with each
other and its is also important to interact with other as this helps in problem soling with higher
effectiveness. This particular theory is followed by me in order top develop various skills

interaction. I am following up this communication theory in order to develop in newer skills in
my interactive and communicating style in order to exchange my ideas effectively in front of
others.

exchange the ideas effectively. I having good written skills which is an strength for my

I hesitate in using different new knowledge in front of mass people effectively. This have to
improved by me in order to increase the expressive skill of mine. I am also average in my verbal
communication competencies which largely influence the exchange if ideas with others. So, this
should be improved by me through developing effective plan to enhance effectiveness and
competencies in the behaviour through developing good verbal communicating skills in actions.
I should enhance effectiveness in my symbolic communication too in order to impress others
effectively and achieve higher concentration of other actions and speech. I have some of the

through practising various newer knowledge about the language through implementing it in self
personalty development plan.

environment as this provide confident to express views in front of people confidentially and
with effectiveness. These skills and competencies development in the behaviour helps in
achieving the goals effectively. The good verbal and non verbal communication skills helps in

communicating with people effectively and I can easily influence the people effectively through
developing my impressive language knowledge and symbolic communication skills. I can use
