Strengths and weaknesses
While conducting different tasks and utilising Powerpoint and considering the
information given in Excel Sheet, I can say that I have been through many situations that has
helped me in focusing upon different strenghts and weak points of my own (Rostad and
Whitaker, 2016). Some of these are given underneath:
Strengths:
 Primal strength of my own is, I know how to develop presentation in Powerpoint and
also, I can consider different tools that are available within Powerpoint, it directly helps
me in pulling out favourable outcomes right on time and in much effective and in
efficient manner.
 Also, I am good in interpersonal skills, which I will be considering as an effective
strength of my own as it makes me much more confident while delivering information to
others based on the presentation that I have developed on Powerpoint.
 Another strength of my own that came in front was utilising the Excel, which is
spreadsheet related tool of MS Office, tbat may help me in developing different graphs
whether they are pie chart or any other graphs like line bar and so on. Also, I am good in
mathematics and also I know about different short keys for both the tools, which directly
be considered as an effective approach that helped me out in managing time and
developing the different presentations in much effective and in efficient manner.
Weaknesses:
5

 Time management skill is considered to be one of the weakness or weak point that came
in front while conducting different tasks in relation to Powerpoint or while conducting
different activities like while finishing the project. This impacted negatively on overall
performance level of my own. Also, it affected finishing related activities of the different
tasks right on time.
 Communication skills is said to be another weak point of my own, which has raised many
concerns for me while utilising Presentation related tool in one of the crucial MS Office
tool. This may create number of issues for my own while delivering the presentation in
front of my colleagues anf tutors as well. Away with this, it brings less motivation in me
and impacts my confidence as well.
 Another issue or weakpoint that I found that I have in me is that I am weak in
Teamworking skill. Reason that came in front was delegation of work in my team was
not that effective enough and raised questions on my leadership style, that I was utilising
lastly, while delivering different tasks related information to my colleagues. This overall
situation of different tasks, raised questions of my ability of becoming a leader and to
become a manager in a company in near future.
Perceptions
While conducting different activities in relation teamworking and other skills, it will be
required by me to focus on different aspects. Like, having colleagues invest energy preparing and
working with each other to build up a superior comprehension of each other's range of abilities.
Me and other representatives will start to depend on others in the gathering for commitments
dependent on their center capabilities; this will help make a progressively effective gathering. At
the point when me and my colleagues realize who to depend on to get assignments finished for
each task, it will make achieving objectives simpler. On the other hand, if it is talked about time
management skill while utiling Powerpoint and Excel sheet on a particular project, then making
and following an errand plan decreases tension. As I would require to verify things on my
schedule, I can see that I am gaining substantial ground. This encourages me abstain from
learning about worried with stress over whether I am completing things (Shum and et. al., 2016).
Different ideas about myself
If it is talked about what could I have done to perform the whole project in much
efffective manner, then it was required for me to focus among different areas like Regardless of
6

whether I fall flat, it doesn't mean I will be keep on coming up short. Have the option to state I
put stock in myself and continued risking different range of elements in order to become
successful. Everything that is fruitful will start with me having faith in myself. Therefore,
improvement among different skills like communication, time management, and others will help
me in becoming a much more fruitful individual as a person and I might deliver right job in
much effective and in efficient manner as well. Also, the subsequent exercise in time the board is
figuring out how to organize. To effectively execute any venture, I have to choose which stages
or segments of the task are generally essential to your business and the effect of each
stage/segment in the short, medium, and long terms.
Regardless of how hardly I attempt, I will get occupied to a great extent. That is an
unavoidable situation while utiling Powerpoint and Excel. Moreover, nobody can work for a
considerable length of time. I have analysed that as a whole need breaks to assist us with
remaining gainful. The best activity is to acknowledge that interruptions will occur and attempt
to consolidate them into the timetable.
Conclusion
Focusing the above mentioned report, it is concluded that it will be required by me to
develop an effective continuous improvement plan and develop an action plan as well so that my
goals related to enhancing my existing skills will effectively be attained right on time. This
would lead me to sustain within the competitive business environment in much effective and in
efficient manner as well.
