listening becomes not interactive so I use combination of audio and video to maintain the interest
level.
Reading and Writing Learners: It is my practice to reading and note down eth information
which is being displayed on eth screen in the form of text and words. But on eth negative side, it
becomes difficult to copy long texts, therefore, in order to overcome this, I have taken
screenshots of the slides.

Description : In respect to the professional career development, it is important to have effective
interpersonal skills, having the ability to work effectively within team and to handle multiple
tasks at a time (Adeani, Febriani and Syafryadin, 2020). All these I already have which are
turned out to be my key strengths in the way of my personal, professional and self-development.
But on the other hand, there were certain weaknesses identified like the poor leadership skills, IT
skills and prompt decision making skills and all these skills are important for the self-
development. Thus, I had started working on overcoming my weaknesses along with further
enhancing my existing strengths through the way of taking direction, guidance from my mentor
or by undertaking short term to long term courses which has helped me in accomplishing my
goals of overcoming my weaknesses.
Feelings: In order to do this, I have start created a plan which incorporates all the key goals that I
want to accomplish and then stated the time frame within which it will be done. In addition to
this, it was also mentioned the ways in which the required skills will be attained and the way in
which it will be measured. I have actually followed the plan that I have prepared without any
change which has helps me a lot. Along with meeting with my weaknesses, I have identified the
core opportunities which will help in effectively and efficiently building up my future in terms of

personal impact, confidence level and creating a sense of social and ethical responsibility
towards the society and the environment.
Evaluations: I have analyzed that there is an increase in the awareness of the people towards the
betterment of the surrounding which has resulted not creating an opportunity in this aspect as
well (Lintzeris and Karalis, 2020).Therefore, I have effectively analyzed the relevance of these
opportunities pertaining to my future growth and development and have started working on it in
terms of developing these skills which are essential and will make me unique and different form
my core competitors. Thus, in terms of effectively developing myself, preparing of the plan was
the main element or the thing which will help me in attaining my desired goals and objectives in
respect to both academic and the career life. These opportunities might change in future but the
relevance or the learnings from it will not change resulting into adding value to my knowledge,
personality and the thinking process.

high scale important role for further gaining new optimum growth within career domains
diversely for new strategic work competencies diversely. Furthermore, social ethical skills
practice further opens up working scope based on functional determinants which enhances
growth potentialities within keen untapped new stringent targets. I also plan up to proceed
further learning based on significant competitive work abilities, which will strengthen up
competent scope in my future performance targets. I also further will work towards improved
decision-making skill, which will diversely enable my professional abilities to be expanded
among new projects competently for new strategic rise.

expand key new functional skills dynamically for wider scale targets in career. Health and social
care practice also demands individuals to hold professional expertise diversely, be diversified
