badly over my personality as this reflects my introvert nature and also make me nervous during
debates, interview and other meetings.
Slide 7
Notes:
My low communication and presentation skills can badly impact my profile as in
working environment these two skills are highly important to communicate with clients, sub
ordinates, fellow members and customers. My lack of problem solving and decision making
skills are also bad for my career growth as this will puzzle me in decision making related to my
life goals, career progression and also for my decisions related to my post graduate employment
(Engle and et. al., 2017).

Notes:
Also it is important for me to improve my presentation skills for which I have decided to
take training for presentation skills there I will polish my oral presentation skills which will
include my body language, gestures etc. I will more work on my confidence to uplift my
personality and learn problem solving skills by solving case studies to also improve my critical
thinking skills. For me future training and development is highly essential to reduce the impact
of my gaps. Hence the training and development will also help me to become more confident and

For my career progression I have increased my I engagement towards academic and
practice based learning in order to attain the practical knowledge related to my subjects which
will help me to gain more experience understanding about the theoretical knowledge thereby
making me move towards opportunities where I can utilise both practical and theoretical
knowledge of subjects but I face barriers towards my career progression such as lack of training
and development ineligible training and lack of finance.
I am increasing my skill set in a specific subject area there by assessing and observing the
factors that are required for enhancing of the skills in the specialist subject area which will
required teaching material and resources coaching and mentoring but I am facing the progression
barrier because of the and relevant teaching methods and strategies of the teachers and also
training is also inadequate (McGuirk Audet-Delage and St-Pierre, 2020).
