Reflection
In this project I have identify and analyse the impact of innovation. I have determined that
innovation is very important part of individual life as it is significant for enhancing business
practices as well as effectively conducting organisational practice. While conducting this project
I have gain information about innovation and analysed why innovation matter to me. Through
this I was able to understand the important of innovation and need of adopting innovation in day
to day practices. In this I have analysed that innovation will assist in increasing capability and
potential of individual as well as successfully perform required task and practices. There are
various benefits that could be attain by effective innovation practices and it will be beneficial for
personal and professional growth (Patricio, 2017). I have identified that innovation is significant
for individual as well as organisation. Through innovation practices individual will be able to
enhance capability and potential in order to conduct set of practices in more effective and
efficient manner. where as in organisation, innovation will lead to successfully conduct business
practices as well as enhance organisation activities in order to attain more profits. Innovation will
assist is attracting more customers towards the company as well as improving the sales of
organisation. It is very important for consider innovation with in company in order to gain
competitive edge over other rival companies. While conducting this project I have analysed that
stress and anxiety issues is increasing in individual life. In today’s world most of the people are
dealing with the issues and problems related to stress and anxiety. This is affecting their
capability and potential to conduct business task in more effective and efficient manner. I have
determined that increase in stress and anxiety among different people lead to create negative
impact as well as affect potential of people to enhance their practices. This lead to have direct
impact over personal and professional life of a person and influence their capability to attain
desired goals. I have determined that there are various reasons for developing or increase stress
and anxiety among people. Morden life and high work pressure will lead to significant affect on
mental capability and strength of individual (Vey and et.al., 2017). Due to high work pressure or
issues in personal life stress and anxiety is increases. Now a day every person want to earn more
money and get promotion for their personal and professional development. It is essential for
person to take correct and effective steps for resolving and overcoming the stress and anxiety
issues more significant. Working in organisation is one of the major reason for individual stress
and anxiety issues. In order to successfully overcome and deal with this type of issues it is
1

crucial that company is taking correct and accurate actions. This will lead to motivate employees
and increase job satisfaction. Through this employees will feel that company care for them and it
will assist in enhancing potential of employees to perform business task.
I have identified the innovation will be most effective and efficient in order to deal with the
issues of stress and anxiety. Through innovation techniques individual will be able to successful
deal with the issues of stress and anxiety and it will help in improving performance of person.
Innovation will include more creative and unique practices to deal with the issues of stress and
anxiety (Hall and Zierler, 2015). For example individual can consider Smartphone for
overcoming the issues of stress and anxiety. There are different application and tools that could
be used in smart phone of overcome the issues of stress and anxiety. This is easy to use and help
individual by providing correct and accurate guidance to person for enhancing living standards. I
have analysed that individual needs to use smart phone in more effective manner and consider
the tips through smart phone for successfully overcome these issues and live life at fullest. I have
determined that there are various skills and capabilities in which I am lacking and I needs to
develop these issues with the motive of successfully and effectively conducting business
practices. I have analysed that empathy skill and self efficiency skill is lacking in me. I need to
develop and enhance these skill as it will assist me in personal and professional growth. I have
identified that both of these skill is very important as it will significant help me in enhancing my
performance as well as providing more effective ideas to conduct any task. By development of
these skills I will be able to successfully understand that issues and problems of other.
Empathy can be describe as the capability of individual to successfully understand the
emotions of others. This is the ability of a person to identity and determines the pain or issue of
others at the note of deeper level. Empathy skill includes defining, understanding as well as
reacting to the concerns of others which is effectively underlie others emotional responses or
reactions. It is crucial for an individual to have empathy skill as this will assist in developing or
creating stronger relationship with others and identify the emotions through which others are
dealing. This skill is consider as the most interpersonal skills as well as empathising capabilities
of individuals. This comes very naturally to most of the people and it is significant for
successfully developing and enhancing empathy skills. There are different elements that are
included in empathy. Various elements of empathy consist of understanding others, developing
2

other, having a service orientation, leveraging diversity, political awareness and so on. All of
these elements will lead to affect over my potential to effectively develop empathy skills. This
skill will assist me in correctly understanding others and their emotions. By developing this skill
individual will be able to listen other carefully and pay attention to non verbal communication
with the motive of identifying emotions or any other kind of issues (Standing and et.al., 2016).
This skill is significant for responding in correct manner. There are different types of empathy
such as cognitive empathy, emotional empathy, and compassionate empathy. It is crucial to
improve empathy skill in order to identify and recognize emotions in other and understanding
other people perspective or views regarding the situation. I have analysed that this skill will lead
to major impact on my overall growth and development. There are different ways and
approaches that are significant for developing and enhancing empathy skill. I have analysed that
I am not able to understand and view particular situation as the view of other. Due to this I have
my own point of view regarding different aspects which will directly affect my empathy skills. In
order to develop and enhance empathy skills I need to explore the heart not just head. Through
this I will be able to gain better understanding about what other is feeling or want. It is essential
to put myself in their shoes with the motive of increase my potential to correctly determine and
analyse other feeling and situation through which they are dealing. This is significant for
enhancing and improving empathy skill and I have analyse that I should increase my
communication skill. Through this I will be able to successfully transfer my understanding about
other feeling or situation. This will assist in overcome the issues and help in reducing stress or
anxiety of others.
Self efficacy can be describe as the capability and potential of person to belief in own
capability to control the behaviour. I have analysed that self efficacy skill includes emotions,
motivation and behaviour control to react in correct and accurate manner (Rhéaume and
Gardoni, 2015). For example an individual who have high level of self efficacy in mathematics
they will feel more confident about their ability to perform well in exam as well as attain good
score in examination. I have analysed that self efficiency skill is very important for motivating
individual as well as enhance their capability to conduct any task in more effective manner. I
have determined that this is one of the most important skill and it will be significant for increase
performance of individual to conduct any kind of task in more effective manner. Self efficiency
is considered to be important for increasing self motivation and boosting morale in order to
3

correctly and effectively conduct business practices. I have determined that individual who have
strong self efficacy skill they will have more deeper interest in all those activities in which they
participate. This is significant for improving potential and capability of person to effective
perform any task. Self efficiency skill is significant for recover fast or quickly for any kind of
disappointment and setback. People will high self efficiency skills are always motivated as well
as have strong sense of commitments in their interest or activities they take part (Hall and
Zierler, 2015). Because of lack of self efficacy skill I always avoid challenging task and
consider that difficult task in beyond my capabilities. I have determined that by improving or
enhancing the skills which are lacking I will be able to successfully and effectively conduct
required task and practices. It is crucial for a person to have these skills and potential in order to
understand others feeling and situation in more accurate manner as well as have believe in self
skill and potentials. I have learnt that I need to increase these skill so that I can successfully help
others in order to deal with their issues and problems. Self efficiency skill is beneficial for
improving my performance and dealing with challenging situations and issues in more effective
manner. I have determined that in order to attain my personal and professional goals I need to
enhance my potential and effectively conduct requires set of practices.
I have identified that I need to take correct and effective actions for developing skills which
are lacking in me such as empathy skill or self efficiency skills. There are different methods and
approaches which are significant for successfully developing and enhancing these skills and
improving my potential. I have determined that I could develop an appropriate and strong plan
which will be significant for providing guidance and direction of successfully and effectively
conducting task to improve lacking skills. Strategies and action plan will be useful for assisting
what should I do that will help me in enhancing lacking skills. For empathy skills I need to
challenge myself as well as try to understand others point of view. This will lead to increase my
capability to understand the situation from different perspective. Through this I will be able to
learn how to walk in others shoes as well as examine my biases. This is significant for provide
knowledge and understanding about different perspective and ask better questions with the
motive of gaining better knowledge. For improving self efficacy skill I need to use more
moderate or difficult task. This will be significant for motivating me as well as challenging to
enhance my potential for successfully completing difficult task. Through this my potential and
capability will be increase and lead to boost morale for attain desired goals of action.

Improvement in self efficiency skill is beneficial for enhancing my potential to overcome
complex process and it will encourage me to try new and different things. I might have focused
on improving communication skill as this is significant for transferring idea and information in
more effective and efficient manner so that other can get better understanding of communicated
message. This will be significant for successfully dealing with the issues as well as consequences
which might create issues. I might focus in given feedback and analyse it properly so that I can
make successfully further improvements as well as correctly deal with any kind of issues.
