Assessment 2
The scenario will be explained with the help of Kolb's model:
 Experience: From the analysis of my personal SWOT, I am able to evaluate my certain
strengths and weaknesses which helps me in order to enhance my further career into
personal as well as professional terms and makes me successful in each and every aspect.
 Reflective observation: While doing the task there are certain skills that have been
developed and specific knowledge had been gained such as Leadership skills which has
been developed by taking initiatives in the tasks, doing practices of critical thinking,
listening appropriately, motivating others to complete their tasks, maintains discipline,
constantly learning new and innovative things, and by handling conflicts or issues in most
effective manner. Another skill that has been generated within me is Social connections'
ability which has been enhanced within me by joining any group of my favourite hobby
which is reading and drawing, volunteer things within our community, travel to different
places and tries my level best to interact with strangers while meeting diversified kind of
people at different places (Neulicht, 2019).
 Thinking: With complete study, I will measure my success level, when I will be able to
interact with different kind of people without any hesitation. The target date that has been
set by me in order to develop this specific skill is 4 months of time duration. The gap
related to this specific skill had been identified by me as I am very reserve kind of
personality and due to which I face various problems while communicating with newly
introduced people within the organization. Hence, to become somehow extrovert and
tries to communicate more and more people in order to reduce my shyness, I will be able
to make social connections in most efficient manner.
 Active experimentation: Apart from above two skills, the another ability that I need to
enhance is my Patience level for which I will try my level best to keep myself calm and
compose along with stop doing things that are not important for me at that particular

point of time. Be mindful for the things that makes me impatient and keep me relax with
taking deep breaths in order to introduce high level of patience within me.
After the development of leadership ability the success has been measured when I am
able to lead any team with minimum of 5-6 members at a time. The target date that has been set
by me for this particular skill is 6 months of duration of time period which has been accessible
by identifying the gap by me as when I am easily able to influence from others and during the
situations under which I have to lead team of certain members, I feel nervous and unable to take
appropriate decisions on my own. Hence, with the advancement of my confidence level and
when I am able to do effective decision-making, I will be able to become a great leader.
In order to measure the success factor I will identify the time when I will be able to
handle adverse conditions without getting into any kind of stress and with calm situations. For
this I have decided to heighten this ability within 6 months of time duration. This special
acquisition gap have been identified by me as I have patience issues as I easily get aggressive
when I feel a lot of pressure in terms of tasks over me are pending. Hence, with meditation
activities and exercises, I try my level best to keep myself calm and compose at workplace
premises. With improved patience level, I will be able to handle workload as well as team of
large number of members in efficient way.
In order to enhance my career in health practices, I have to become extremely patient
towards the adverse conditions. The leadership skills and social connections also enables me to
make myself extremely successful within this. In my opinion as per my certain strengths, I am
able to analysed that my innovative and creativity skills helps me a lot in order to expand my
career opportunities in similar field and also reduces my weaknesses and threats in most
appropriate manner. This strength makes me different from all of my colleagues and peers and
enables me to handle all kind of situations in most efficient manner (Yaraddi, 2019). For
improvement in my weaknesses, I have prepared a plan through which I will definitely able to
overcome some of my weaknesses which quite sometimes stops me to move forward in my
career success. Although in order to get success in my pre determined plan, I have to strictly
follow the exercises and keep myself updated as well so that I am definitely able to achieve the
advantages of it till my long duration of time which enhances my career opportunities.
