REFLECTION
The presentation of the group has benefited me to learn regarding the working of different
organisational operations that benefit me to comprehend different aspects that is related to
the procedure of public speaking. I also have the experience to deal with different
circumstances of speaking in public that has helped me to learn different factors which are
essential in this procedure (Sterling et al., 2016). This procession of knowledge as well as
thoughts and then framing it in in such a way that it will fulfil according to the present
circumstance and develop efficient dialogue. In the presentation doing with my group, I
spoke with the knowledge efficiently but it also does not have the method that is
communicative that also involves the understanding of different acquaintance with the
actualities that provide the effective argument. By monitoring the different procedures that
I have learnt and in which I lack in different fields of communication. This learning is
articulated in the procedure by seeing various factors that are reliant on the model of Gibb's
reflection (Hollingsworth and Clarke, 2017).
DESCRIPTION
While working in group assignment in which I work for the presentation categorised the
departments because of which the burden is lessened and we also develop the performance
by learning the factors that are linked with our section (Regan et al., 2016). When my group
was demonstrating the questions these were asked to us and was linked with the part of
another individual in which we were not prepared. It leads to a negative aspect for me and
my group. We also learnt every factor that was linked with the part in which I was thought
to perform and present the identification that was detailed. Rather than performing the
studies that were detailed, we learnt all different descriptions in every section with effective
concerns that we won't lack in while our presentation. The incapability of configuring the
information in verdict has replaced as the repercussion and has lessened my communication
skills in different factors (Chen et al., 2017).

FEELINGS
This factor made my group comprehend that all of us were lacking in some of the other
factors and require to work with the effectiveness that we have developed and can easily
act following with factors in a group presentation and improve our performance. Deciding to
allow the work in different sections of presentation between is an effective concept but the
section was presenting the individual has turned in being the most efficient concept (Murray
et al., 2020).

lead in embarrassment. It has made me irritated and frustrated and has also encouraged for
which I cope with different situations. Therefore, I prepared the presentation and then we
presented our work effectively (Regan et al., 2016).
ANALYSIS
The presentation of my teammates was effective and it also expressed every detail with
some effective efforts that present the effective knowledge of the skills of communication.
The division of this section for the presentation was effective as it benefited in developing
our learning and dealing with different questions (Sterling et al., 2016).
CONCLUSION
This analysis has benefited me in learning different factors that are influenced by
performance. It states that ineffective processing of knowledge and not comprehending all
the factors that resulted in lacking in the presentation that benefits in developing awareness
amongst us the are effective learning significant for developing efficient knowledge
performance (Chen et al., 2017).

ACTION PLAN
After all these circumstances have been created the developed that emphasis on developing
the performance and also in creating the effect of the procedure of my team presentation
and performance (Hollingsworth and Clarke, 2017). We also comprehended the
effectiveness in the procedure of teamwork and develops the plan in which will acquire the
factors connected to the element such that it will answer every question and attain the
effectiveness that complies with the team actions in future for developing increased
effectiveness (Middleton, 2017).

DEVELOPMENT REQUIRED IN THE PROFESSIONAL AND
ACADEMIC AREAS
This procedure has benefited the factors in which I lack and make me aware of
modifications and the improvements that are required to develop my performance. This
procedure benefits me that I lack in the information of processing and skills of
communication as well as confidence. Also, the group was formed and was supposed to give
the group presentation that I have to present in the team but in form of individual that is
the quality of my team which creates and give team presentation (Middleton, 2017). I
thought it has to present in a team that the quality of my team which will lack the functions
of the academic and professional factors. This shows my inability to comprehend the simple
statement and it requires to be recovered and create such that it can observe developing
situations. The communicative lack as well confidence that is another factor that is needed
to be improved for the presentation I was not able to answer and speak some questions
then after having proper knowledge due to which my inability to frame it for an effective
answer (Patterson and Seabrooks-blackmore, 2017).
Even I tried to develop the answer that lacks in confidence that has impacted me to drop
the concept of speaking. The lack of confidence has influenced me to the extent and also
has the main reason behind the incapability in communication skills (Sterling et al., 2016).
All the factors skills and requires to improve and develop the skills in which I can comprise
with circumstances in future scenes and creates and skills that will enable to communicate
in public. I also need to communicate with communication skills which will benefit in
develop my performance do the communication and sharing the information. I can observe

will benefit in developing my performance and also accomplish the development in the
future I can fulfil with the requirements of development and future in my capability to deal
with requirements of professional and academic factors in the internal scene
(Rank and Gray, 2017). These skills will benefit in performing the functioning that is related

functions that are linked with my working in professional and academic constraint. By
considering the future development and enhancement in a professional context, which will
benefit me to cover the factors the working in a functional environment that needs me to
interact with various personnel for the environment working (Pianpeng and Koraneekij,
2016).
Communication skills are the significant factor or skills that are needed to be present in
individuals such that they can efficiently comply with circumstances in the operational
environment in the global scenario. Confidence is the main factor as it will need to be
confident that I can represent my thought and viewpoints amongst different individuals
without being undetermined. The lack of confidence has impacted the main factors it will
need me to be confident while participating and not getting distracted. It will benefit to be
effective by developing myself capable to comprise in the functioning of professional as well
as academic context (Wain, 2017).

practice. . I thought it has to present in a team that the quality of my team which will lack
the functions of the academic and professional factors (Regan et al., 2016). This shows my
inability to comprehend the simple statement and it requires to be recovered and create
such that it can observe developing situations. The measurable practices also perform the
practices that are significant in monitoring the procedure with the help of effective
examination. The primary target is to develop and achieve the emphasis on the aspects and
help them in creating the best performance and the sets of skills effectively. Developing a
frame of time for the practices it is significant as it benefits in attaining the targets efficiently
and lessens the lack of communication and confidence (Hollingsworth and Clarke, 2017).
SET TIMELINES
Setting the timelines is to develop the functioning in which the development remains
measurable and the practice of development completes the very limited time. The timeline
also benefits to emphasis on functioning and activities of learning by ranking the necessary
actors which benefit to perform the goals on a given time and take some benefits from
them (Sterling et al., 2016).
MONITORING THE PROGRESS
Relying on the SMART goals as well as timeline I will supervise my information and
knowledge for my achieved advancement. Constant supervising and overseeing the growth
with the help of self-identification will benefit me to comprehend the efficiency of practices
and perform the functioning that is reliant on the requirements (Middleton, 2017).
