Reflecting on the performance of the group presentation
While designing the presentation with the group of members , as while
working in the team I have learned about achieving success in life, as it is mainly
defining about setting goals and working harder for achieving success in life. In the
Academic’s success is mainly about achieving the good scores and grades while
performing well in the exams and presenting the acquired information with full
confidence (Lee and Liu, 2022). I have learnt about success as properly structuring
and reenforcing skills for presenting in large group of individuals , also representing
diverse individual opinions while designing the presentation. This will help me in
building trust and working effectively with team members for completing task in
future. As while designing this group presentation for success, I have acquired
various skills while distributing the task in group of member for machining the
presentation as helped me in acquiring better leadership skills and performing with
team members in successful manner helps in improving my team working skills. With

shared goals in future.
While designing the part of presentation I have learned good communication
skills as for presenting it into the classroom and effectively coordinating by

presentation has helped me in learning about the researching skills as for identifying
the full information for achieving success in life and defining about various skills to be

gathering information for identifying the issues faced in life and achieving success.
While presenting the information In front of the classroom and developing the
content of this orientation has helped me in learning about being more punctual. This
results in achieving success by being organised and prioritizing the working for
completing it on time with setting the daily routine and commotion of the task and
assignments of the academics. With this presentation I have learned more about
communication and presentation skills, as to set the clear purpose to be
communicated to engage audiences by using clear language and actively listening.
This helped me In developing new ideas for communicating message for engaging
the audiences. I have learnt about working and collaborating effectively with group
of members this helps in boosting creativity by exchanging the opinion and thought
with other for completing the work with more effective knowledge . as by discussing
on the valuable topics as for presenting the information about success and required
skills supported in contributing and improving my critical thinking skills. Working
collaboratively will help me in accomplishing the task in easy manner, as it supports

Further, various new information is being presented with working in the team
while designing the presentation is planning in life is very important as to organise all
the task and machining short plans with taking actions to achieve them,. Planning in
the academics and in the professional life will help me in examining various
problems being faced while completing and achieving task in life for achieving
success. But with the lack of planning skills will hinders in achieving success. Further
I have also learned about the importance of engaging time in life and asking
questions while pursuing the education. Asking questions after completing the class
lectures helps in resolving the instant doubts about the topics which is being

communicated by the teachers also managing time by prioritizing the task and work
supports in academics by completing the assignments on time (Zaghloul, 2018).
Whereas with the lack of my time management skills hinders in completing the
project on time.
It was very interesting as to communicate the whole information of the task as of
designing the group presentation with the team member it helps in encouraging and
giving the opinions and thoughts for achieving success In life. it helped me in
learning from the different members the groups about the importance of time
management, planning, importance of communication in the academics and in the
professional life achieving success.
While developing the presentation with the group of member I will use the
information which I have learned and which is newly presented in designing the
prestation. by being punctual will help me in completing the task and working in more
organised manner by completing it before time. As by doing so this helps in
removing the distractions and being more concentrated for completing it on time for
achieving success in life. Also, I will use good communication skills for developing
better relations and sharing thoughts with ither helps in gaining more knowledge
about other opinions. This will help in academics by properly communicating with my
teachers and taking feedback from my improvements while pursuing the academics.
This helps in developing various capabilities for achieving success by taking
feedback and identifying the lacking areas. Communication skills help me in better

efficient manner will help me in accomplishing my goals with more determination and
enthusiastic manner with planning and adhering all the issues. As planning in future

prioritizing the task to be achieved in the planned manner. Also acquiring time
management skills will help me in better performing as for completing task on time,

knowledge that I need to develop for pursuing my future career and which helps in
achieving success as planning skills, developing time management skills,
researching skills, critical thinking skills, adaptability and being punctual and
developing the leadership skills, being responsible (Abbasovna, 2022). These are
my weakness as not being able to manage the time, and lead the team members as
to complete the task on timely manner and set deadlines. With the lack of plaining

opportunity in future.
This helps in developing more concentration on my studies and aids in
