my professional and personal branding. The paper will also evaluate my vision, goals,
integrity, fairness, compassion, authenticity and persistence in attaining increased knowledge

Discussion
I have attained learning regarding the fact that in setting my personal goals, I realized
that it is highly visionary to look far in future. I can also be able to implement the principles
of SMART goals in the future business in which I will be involved in. These principles can
be used by me in order to set my own measurable, personal, realistic along with achievable
short-term objectives (Benson et al. 2018). This will result in increasing my strategies in
attaining my long- and medium-term objectives. Through implementing the objectives under
SMART framework along with the innovating frameworks has also offered me with
important techniques that can direct me towards attaining my long- and short-term career
objectives that are achievable (Wosnitza et al. 2018). I have also carried out personal values
assessment survey that has that offered me with the opportunity of self-evaluating my
strengths which can support me in taking better decisions in my career in future. I have
realized from this survey that I have increased strengths regarding the capability of getting

involved in any activity through ensuring teamwork, judgement and social intelligence
(Bolden 2016).
Attaining knowledge on the suitable ways of implementing innovative business
practice I have attained an understanding that I can develop foundational set of skills and can
implement them in my professional and academic life to enhance my awareness on the
existing opportunities and attain better career position in my career life. I have also
considered implementing value proposition canvas that has enhanced my knowledge on the
future thinking role in innovation along with the relevance of reflective practice in moving a
business forward and I am wagered to develop such abilities in future years (Fook 2016).
Through attaining a detailed learning, I have gathered that I am quite confident in developing
my skills that I will acquire develop the ability to analyse issues, analyse further reflections
and developing certain problem-solving abilities. Attaining such abilities will be helpful for
me in developing my professional career.
My learning in the previously completed courses enhanced my knowledge on the
ways in which I can develop my goals and support in setting them in my future organization.
Based on such learning I have planned that at present my goal will be focused on improving
efficiency in my academic studies (Greenwood 2018). After the first year I will make myself
capable to turn my weakness to my strength for attaining my set professional and personal
vision. Over the term of five years I will set my goal to attain mastery in attaining necessary
vision skills. My learning course has also increased my understanding on the ways I can
enhance my integrity and I have also understood that integrity can be aa form of image that is
perceive by individuals regarding us and integrity is the personality we actually are. I have
also attained knowledge regarding fairness and this is deemed as a valuable thing and along
with that an increased understanding on ability of compassion (Körkkö, Kyrö-Ämmälä and
Turunen 2016). I have also relied from completion of assignment 1B that if I want others to

remain happy I need to maintain better compassion and practice it on a regular basis. These
principles can be used by me in order to set my own measurable, personal, realistic along
with achievable short-term objectives.
I have also attained an understanding regarding maintaining authenticity in which I
must accept no one else’s definition of my life along with explaining my personal traits.
Through attaining knowledge on SMART framework, I realised that I have better knowledge
regarding maintaining persistence that can support my decision-making power in my
professional and personal life (Moorley and Chinn 2015). Analysis of my personality being
an online learner within the 1B assignment I have realized that my perception of compassion
is considering someone who shows kindness and empathy towards other individuals. My
knowledge also increased regarding the fact that I have a viewpoint on imagination which
indicates the way I perceive things, inventiveness along with maintaining associations
between thoughts those are highly divergent (Murdoch-Eaton and Sandars 2014). I also tend
to geerally consider that creativity can facilitate me in developing innovative ideas that can
support my personal and professional aspects. Moreover, the learning course also revealed
that the meaning of the world is to develop on constant basis.
Through completing my previous assignments, I attained a learning that I have spent
an increased time on research and critically evaluating my learning need. Conversely, I have
also understood that this might serve as aa continuous process of improvement in my future
career by being less bureaucratic (Wald 2015). An increased knowledge was also obtained by
me regarding the fact that I must develop my abilities of personal development. Through the
reflection and recognition of all my learning requirements, I need to develop my learning
ability as a business innovator for attaining personal and professional competency.

From attaining knowledge on value proposition canvas in my course I have gained
knowledge regarding the areas in which I have increased expertise and such areas include
caring, adaptable, conscientious and creativity. The canvas analysis revealed that I hold aa
viewpoint that indecision serves as a key to flexibility. Moreover, I have also realized that my
vision is ever changing along with being evolving at an increased pace. I also have the
capability to be adaptable to certain changing situations and the surrounding keeps me
prepared to deal with any situation. From completing the assignment 1B I have realized that
my communication skills have improved all contract and acknowledged in all the course
practice (Wosnitza et al. 2018). In attaining a detailed learning, I have also been able to
realise my weakness regarding my ability in communication through analysing ways in which
I can realise values, vision, fairness and goals set by my organization or by me in my
academic career (Wosnitza et al. 2018). I also attained a learning regarding the ways to
develop an effective vision and attained an understanding that vision serves as a space where
individuals realise that their intention is not some aspects those are external but lies within as
their improved version.
