of things and knowledge about different topics that have been acquired by me, that will aid me in

each and every task accordingly. In this I maintain to- do- list to accomplish my all objectives
and activities in time effective manner. Further it has been identified by me that in the course of

myself to easily work with other individuals in effective manner. I also acquired leadership skill
through which I motivate other individual to accomplish their responsibilities and roles in a well
defined and effective manner.

during group presentation. By evaluating all these past mistakes I learnt to overcome them in
future by adopting different skills and measures. This evaluation of my past mistakes helps me to

management skills while completing this presentation.
The areas (academic and professional) that needed to develop further

that are technical and communication skill. These skills play key essential role in an individual
personal and professional life, as with the help of communication skill individual can
communicate their views perceptions to other individuals in a well defined and effective manner.
Communication skill provides effective sense of expressions to an individual that aim them in
delivering their ideology and thoughts among others. In terms with technical skills it has been
evaluated that due to increase in technological presence around the world technical skill mainly
facilitate effective education or profession (Barnes, Ernst and Hyde, 2017). Thus scale provides
different type of benefit or advantage thus, by leveraging efficient technical skills I can not only
perform my roles and responsibility with great proficiency but also assure long-term success.

a completing desired objectives and goals within appropriate time frame (Olson, Dune and
Lessey, 2016). In context to this action plan proves to be an effective measure through which
development and improvement in certain knowledge and skills can be undertaken while
identifying shortcomings. According to my evaluation I mainly lack in two essential skill that are
communication skill and Technical skill. In order to overcome this action plan is being
formulated by me through which I can accomplish my objectives in significant time period.
