PART-A
Reflective statements
Kolb reflective model:
Concrete experience:
In my previous organisation where I worked, I learnt lot of things from that which has
enhanced my knowledge and also develop skills into me. It develops communication skills into
me. Earlier I was very shy and did not have courage to speak in front of public. But through
improved communication, it has built confidence into me. Now I feel confidence and did not feel
shy in public speaking. I have build written as well as verbal communication skills. Development
of written communication has helped me into email writing. Email writing is very important
because through email you are representing company’s deal. It has also developed presentation
skills into me. Giving presentation require courage and confidence. Earlier I have fear regarding
giving presentation in the board room. But I prepare myself on the topic and then speak with
confidence infront of my colleagues. So I can say that it has build presentation skills and in
future I will not hesitate before giving presentation in the office (Khan and et.al., 2017). As I was
the marketing executive in the organisation. So I have to communicate with various parties, so
that has helped me in building verbal communication skills.
While working I had also developed decision making skills. As in the organisation I need
to take small decisions so while taking those decision, decision making skills has developed.
Earlier I was not that confident to take any decision as I was always in fear that what will happen
if I would have taken wrong decisions. I realised that decision making skill is the most vital skill.
Effective decisions will also help employee and organisation to reach towards success. Decision
making is also an art as right decisions will lead to growth and wrong decisions can even lead to
failure.Leadership skills has also developed into me. As after working one year, my company has
given me team to handle and team consist of four team members. I handled team effectively and

that has build leadership ability into me. Although in the starting I faced my difficulty in
handling team because handling team is not easy. One should have that power to influence team
members (Karnieli-Miller, 2020). But slowly I learnt how to handle team. So in the future if
team is given to me than I will handle it effectively. As I already handled the team. With the
leadership skill, it has also developed teamwork as before I was working individual so I was not
aware that how working into the team feels like. After handling the team I realised that how an
individual can work with team. Working in the team also builds patience because team will attain
success only if each team member will help each other and sometimes while working in team,
one should also have to compromise.
Reflective observation:
While doing the module I learnt about organisation skills and also develop this skill into
myself. This skill plays vital role when one start working in the company. As while working in
the organisation, you need to be organised in your work and also have to keep all things
organised in the office. When things are organised than one will find that now what they are
lacking and what they have to build. Through working in the organisation, I came to know about
the true meaning of motivation. As previously I only have theory knowledge of what motivation
is but after I joined the organisation, I feel what motivation is. The management if mu company
is very active and try to motivate employees (Trino, 2017). As management knows it very well
that motivating employees is the key to success because when employees get motivated than they
will work hard and motivation will also increase their productivity.I realised that I didn’t
developed problem solving skills by learning the module.
As this skill is also one of the important skills. As in the organisation an individual has to
face many problems. So having this skill will be very helpful because through this one can solve
difficult problems which occur in the organisation. This skill will also help in the personal life.
As along with professional life problems will also arise in your personal life. So through problem
solving skill one can solve every problem which will come in the way. I also do not have
negotiation skill, through this skill an individual can negotiate with the external parties of the
organisation. As in the organisation I was in the marketing department and in this department
negotiation skill can help a lot. Lack of this skill has created many problems like when I have to
communicate with external people I didn’t able to convince them to quote low price. And from
