1REFLECTIVE JOURNAL ON GROUP REPRESENTATION
At this present time when I am done with my assigned presentation allocated
to me, this is the perfect time to reflect the experiences, mainly the learning and the
challenges, I have received from the group presentation. Examining and exploring
those faced circumstances would be the perfect way to face the upcoming
challenges in the next stage. My group presentation included an experience of
working in a small team. The group presentation allocated to my team was on the
topic mentioned as SWOT Analysis of Ryanair. Sooner after the allocation of the
topic of the presentation the class was distributed into chunks of small team
member. Further, the process of presentation had started with the distribution of
students into a team. The teacher than allocated each team with a group of 4 people

students. Every individual persists different behavioural aspects and nature of their
work process also differs from each other. Regardless of how hardly challenging I
thought the experience to work with this presentation would be, I also received a
positive value as working on this presentation proved to give a rewarding and fruitful
experience. It created a sense of responsibility in my mind as the role I got allotted
was of a Co-ordinator of the team (Belbin 2015).
Being the Co-ordinator of the team, I had decided to follow some particular
strategies in order to complete the project with effectiveness and efficiency. The
strategies included the process of preparing the team to work as per the allocation of
their work, visualizing the requirements of the presentation, determining the
objectives, building the presentation and practicing for the same to deliver the
