Coaching is undertaken as the effective development for the skilled and experienced
individuals that tends to support the learners and client in terms of accomplishing the particular
personal and professional objectives by offering effective guidance and training. Coaching
prominently meant the informal relationship among the two individuals who has effective

the prominent practice which is useful in order to represent the suitable actions considering the
engagement for the continuous learning and overall development. It also depict the strengths and
weaknesses and on that basis individuals tends to find their way of development of skills. For
this, the reflection is based on effective coaching which is useful in guiding other individuals and
also undertake suitable strengths and weaknesses with the help of reflection. In terms of
conducting effective research Gibbs reflective model is used which is helpful in order to describe
the viewpoint and feelings of individuals considering their experience for the particular event.
In regard of this, Gibbs reflective model is useful in order to motivate individuals
regarding their self analysis and reflect for the development in an effective manner that tends to
improve overall performance (Rubens and et.al, 2018). Besides this, it is also helpful to evaluate
the strengths and weaknesses to offer effective guidance and coaching to other people. In relation
with this, suitable steps are discussed as below:

 Description: This element is helpful in terms of offering effective description of the
overall situation undertaking what is happening, outcomes and who are involved in the
suitable activities. For this, the description relies on the overall performance and skills in
which I need to perform in front of my fellows. In regard of this, it is identified that my
existing skill in not so good which is coaching as by this, I cannot provide suitable
guidance to other people that can become basic demerit of me which also include various
factors like clarity, compassion, curiosity, confirmation and commitment. Along with
this, I am quite good in some of these skills like I am more committed and curious
towards the job role but with some shortage and lack of other skills I face various
challenges in terms of performing my job with full potential (Shao, 2019). Moreover,
considering those skills in which I am good is helpful for me in order to manage my
whole team and staff members by motivating them to perform with full potential to work
quite collectively regarding the achievement of suitable goals. Feelings: It tends to depict the prominent feeling and emotions to other individuals in
which they feel and experience my reactions of the concerning skill. In regard of this, the
feelings tends to generate due to my suitable reaction that significantly impact my fellows
in both positive and negative manner and also considering the performance. Besides this,
I as a manager mush have effective coaching skill in order to provide guidance to my

fellows that leads to boost overall performance. But I am little bit weak in coaching
considering few factors as well like clarity, compassion and confirmation that tends to
demotivate my fellow regarding their performance. Despite from this, the basic reason for
developing these factors is that it helps in developing prominent transparency and makes
more more committed to perform my job role that tends to boost morale and performance
of my fellows (Golensky, and Hager, 2020). Due to the lack of these factors, they tends
to feel quite bad and also cannot do anything considering the process by which I tends to
feel nervous for my fellows as for the shortage of clarity, compassion and confirmation
tends to slow down my overall performance. Along with this, most of the individuals also
face difficulties in order to share suitable feelings and considering the role it is important
for me to motivate them by share effective and prominent information considering my
experience by asking effective questions for the suitable event. Evaluation: In this, individuals tends to ask for the suitable experience considering the
overall business situation which is classified under two significant sections which
undertake good and bad factors by considering various questions like what went well,
what did not and the suitable contribution. For this, I did not feel that each and every is
quite satisfied with my performance and concerning skills which I pursue and it
undertake various skills including lack of clarity, confirmation and compassion that
prominently impact the overall performance of my fellows and also leads to create
conflict and confusion between them by delaying the overall performance. For this, due
to my effective skills like commitment and curiosity that helps me in making things more
organised and sorted undertaking the work load that tends to eliminate conflict among
them by developing their overall motivation. Besides this, conflicts also become
prominent risk factor and also leads to hinder the overall performance of team as due to
the shortage of concerning factors for not making things clear regarding the overall
performance and also identify what is expected from them. Analysis: This stage is undertaken as the self development and analysis that prominently
offer effective chance in terms of making sense for what is happening in their nearby
environment and event. It undertake effective questions which tends to undertake
effective knowledge and skills that make sense for the suitable activity. Along with this,
in terms of getting work done with my fellow ones at the beginning level, I need to offer

them effective change to identify the significant strengths and weaknesses which is useful
in performing my job role (Schoemaker, Heaton and Teece, 2018). On that basis my
overall perspective is that I am pretty much good in giving commitment to perform
specified task at the particular period of time. On that basis considering my perspective, I
an pretty much good in giving effective commitment to the assigned task to accomplish
them at the given time period. Besides this, undertaking my weaknesses it is analysed that
I need to work more in order to effectively perform these factors considering the overall
productivity of employees and suitable performance that negative impact the significant
performance and also leads to develop negativity in mind. Besides, in terms of making
things quite effective, I need to overcome my weaknesses with the help of performance
development plan my by considering the prominent guidance and direction of my
supervisors which is helpful for me in order to develop more transparency and clarity in
the assigned task and also effectively conduct suitable classification for the strengths. Conclusion: This step is useful in terms of clearing confusion considering various things
that occur the functioning and running of event and also tends to give prominent
justification in terms of enhancing the outcome for the future purpose. In relation with
this, I tends to summarise my overall knowledge and learning in terms of highlighting for
the significant changes in which I want to improve my overall personality. Besides this,
by identifying the overall skill and its related factors it is analysed that I am pretty much
good in commitment as I am committed towards the performance of assigned task.
Besides this, it is identified that my overall skills are moderate in nature which leads to
make things pretty much organised by improving my weaknesses in an effective manner
(Birasnav and Bienstock, 2019). Additionally, in order to develop other skills
considering clarity, confirmation and so on I need to take suitable feedback from my
supervisors for those skills in which I am lack and also need effective development and
improvement in terms of taking feedback from my top management by taking prominent
participate in the seminars to improve my skills.

manner considering the suitable survival for the future situation and conditions. Besides
this, it is also useful in terms of differentiating my prominent activities as in this, I did not
develop any sort of plan considering the overall development of any sort of plan

including the effective development of my skills by making sure that it get developed in
suitable way by considering coaching skills. Along with this, I also analysed that at the
