REFLECTIVE SUMMARY 2
Self-reflection on past experience is an essential practice that enables the development of
practical communication skills, improvement of future performance and conflict resolution. This
summary provides a personal reflection on the work I have done on oral presentation. Ideally,
oral presentation relays information engagingly and interestingly. My presentation is about
QUANTAS. This is one of the most regarded airways with global recognition. It has maintained
a strong brand image by offering high-quality services to travelers and global transportation of
goods which has enabled it to win its customers’ preference and trust. In the oral presentation, I
have concentrated on a vast range of cases of QANTAS whereby some competent professional
auditors are working for the development and improvement of the entire industry.
Mostly, business analysis and evaluation concentrate on the financial reports of a firm.
Having an excellent mastery of accounting and management knowledge has enabled me to
efficiently analyze all the financial information available in QANTAS financial report. I used a
range of sources to gather information about the firm. For instance, I used Textbooks to study
various cases and conduct literature reviews about the firm. I also got other relevant information
from some websites related to QANTAS, Journal articles, and company reports
We formed a team of two members and adequately delegated roles to each other. We held
meetings and worked together as a group by supporting and encouraging each other. There was
an adequate exchange of information between us through clear understanding, effective
communication and working together as a cohesive team throughout the period. After collecting
all the relevant information, the next step entailed arranging them in slides to hold the
presentation. We then decided to do the presentation together as a team. Forming the
presentation was not an easy task as sometimes, we could disagree on the visual and layout of the

slides. However. Through understanding and better communication skills, we managed to
complete the presentation finally.
Our primary strength as a team was our ability to try to understand and agree with each
other in most instances. Our primary focus was to find an accurate way to solve any conflicts and
disagreements that emerged between us during the group process. I made consistent efforts to
collect as much information as possible about my topic and make the presentation more in-depth
and exciting. Besides, time management emerged as one of my significant challenges. This is
because, as a team, we had different availabilities, making it difficult to attain the final goal. But
in the end, there is an adage which goes- "where there is a will there is a way" so going by this,
we finally achieved our objective by completing the task.
I have definitely enhanced my knowledge and understanding of different topics by
participating in the presentation. Moreover, this group presentation project has enabled me to
sharpen my skills and confidence in different areas of my study throughout the weeks that we
were involved in preparing the presentation of the project.
