provides the proper structure of exploring life experiences. As there are various stages are
include in the model such as description, feeling, evaluation, analysis, conclusion and action
plan. My experiences and learnings form group presentation are defined below:
Description: As there are different activities are organised by my educations institutions for
the purpose of enhancing learning and capabilities of students. These activities include group
presentations, projects, lectures for professors and assignments. A group presentation is assigned
to my group that consist five members including me (LeVine and White, 2017). In the starting of

possible manner. We have decided to complete own parts and merge whole work before
submission date. As the presentation includes the information about the concepts of management
that are quite helpful for us to manage things bitterly and enhance knowledge as well. There are
miscommunication take place in group and all members write their part in different fonts and
writing styles that create problem and take lot of time to correct it. But due to miscommunication

we all writer our part in different writing style. This creates problem, so we have decided to
perform corrective actions and complete the presentation before deadline.
Feeling: During the preparing the group presentation various situations are raised that
enhance our experience and learning about the topic and enhance skills to handle situations
properly. In the starting, as I have divided whole work smartly among all them members but the
time of merging various parts of assignment in a report, we realised our mistake as every
member of group prepare their parts in different writing styles. At that time I got frustrated and
we left work for that night. Next day we start work with lot of zeal and effective team work also
motivates us to perform efficiently and complete work on time. As in the staring of presentation,
I have feeling of excitement and nervousness (Waite, and Goodenough, 2018). As how other

research that make our interest in the preparing presentation effectively (Stair and Reynolds,
2020). On the other hand, there are some mistakes such as miscommunication that affect the
overall work, because of that all member prepare their work in different writing styles which
enhance burden. So, I take care all things and improve areas to enhance effectiveness of
presentation.
Analysis: As I have divided work among all group members according to their choice and
capabilities that motivates them to perform in efficient manner and because they have depth
knowledge about work. This helps me as well to choose work of my interest and knowledge that
saves time. For preparing presentation, we have collected data from various primary as well as
secondary sources. I have gathered first-hand information through questionnaire that enhance
reliability and effectiveness of work on the other hand, we used newspaper, library and other
sources to collect reliable data for presentation. As our group presentation is about concept of
management, we use various approaches of management to gain depth knowledge.

and differently through communicating with group members effectively to maintain
