comnmiuniaction skills and interpersoanl communaiction abilitties are one of the biggest
strength which actively enabels peson to explore vivid development onto various scaenarios. I
have also learnt that creatvity is one of the most important factor which will enable to genertate
higher proficency and strong working standards among business sceanrio which is the msot

avenues and practical exprince fields ti bring my new skills in parctice, rsearch better among my
programs and reports which will not only benefit me to attain large fucntiaonl strength. These

advancemnt into my career. The prenstaion brought before me various new skills and rational
creativty among al my operations throuygh whcih further i can scale up my resources and
technically bring higher advancement maonyt my working paramters (Smith, 2016).
Active experimenation: At this phase i anlysed that active experimentation is highly importat to
develop my weakness into my strengths , where i need to improve quick decision making
abilities and group mangement skills to yield the best synergy forawrd for higher caretivty. The
presentaion also brought forawrd various paramters if new learnings and reational thinking

intesting facts explained while working for the projercts but it will also potnatilly develop amy
relative skills forawrd to bring on high synergy among cooperative working culture (Sudria,
Kirna and Aini, 2018).
TASK 2
Academic and professional success is highly imporatnt to achieve in indivdaul acreer and can
be achieved by working ownwrads various skills which are wealk at present and needs reformed
stratgies and parctise tobe developed further for higher creativitty in perforamnces. The skills
whcih ia anlysed whcih are weak in me are problem solving skills, group wofrking methods as i
faced challenge to bring fowrad my ideas and develop new synergy for outlining my large
creatvity among my profesional working arenas (Watson, Noyes and Rodgers, 2019). As per my
point of view various areas that need to be developed further for academic and professional
growth and success in future career. I have learnt that I have good communication, interpersonal
and positive attitude that helps me to effectively exchange ideas and stay positive while facing
challenges. On the other hand I am not good at decision making as while making presentation I
was not able to found take correct and right decision that can helps in completion of particular
task within limited time range (Yi, 2019). Decision making ability will help me to take correct
decision in both personal and professional life so that I can grow and develop to get numerous
5

opportunities in future career. I also need to develop my critical thinking in order to find new,
ways ideas to resolve various problem and make particular project successful and differentiate
from other. Critical thinking needs to be also developed so that I can effective think innovative
strategies that help me and my group to get first position. It helps me to think out of box so that
presentation can be made more successful in future time. I can introduce new ideas to do
particular job in easy and best way that attract maximum attention of audience. Another skill that
needs to be developed is Time management skills as I was not able to complete my task on time
that had lead to delay in making of presentation. It is one of the most essential and important
skills that is evaluated by every entrepreneur while recruiting employees within firm so If time
management skills is developed by me than it would helps in effective performance of various
task within time (Yu and et.al., 2016). From the above presentation I have learnt that I was
unable to resolve various challenges that faced by us and our group members while making
presentation that had lead to delay and hinder in smooth operation of function. I have to develop
problem solving ability in order to have ability to resolve various issues, challenges that are
faced in both personal and professional life. It will helps me to effective coordinate and
cooperate work of individual by resolving difference of person for effective completion of
particular task.
TASK 3
I can develop or improve some of the skills such as problem solving ability, decision
making, time management and critical think through taking various steps and planning in
advance method that need to be used to enhance performance. Professional development plan
may helps in describing various action that are taken by me to improve my skill for getting
numerous opportunity in future time. Such as:
Personal development plan (Action plan)
Areas that need
to be Improved
Action for development
of skills
Evaluation of
development of skills
Timescales

Time
management
 I have planned to
develop time
management skills
by scheduling
activities that need
to be performed
within limited time
frame.
 To perform task
that are necessary
so that delay of
performance can be
avoided and goals
can be effectively
achieved (Lepri
and et.al., 2018).
Time management skills
can be evaluated through
measuring time taken to
perform particular task
through comparing with
standard time set.
6 month will be
required to develop
time management
skills as I have to
change my habit
and routine to
perform various
functions.
Decision making  It can be improved
through taking
support and helps
of people that have
higher experience
in particular field.

It will taken 4-5
month to develop

order to get better
outcome.
Problem solving  Problem solving
ability can be
developed through
resolving various
problems faced by
different individual
in personal life.
 By reading books
and article of
success leaders the
way they find
solution for
particular problem.
 Another method
that can be used to
improve problem
solving skills is
through use of
previous
experience of me
and other expert in
particular field
(Blair and et.al.,
2019).
Problem solving ability
can be analysed through
checking number of
problem I have solved.
Various methods of
problem solving have
given better and effective
results.
It can be
developed within a
time range of 1
years by
continuous
understanding
different problems
and challenges
faced by
individual.
Critical
Thinking
 It is another skill
that needs to be
improved so that I
can grow and
develop in
