Reflection on Skills: SWOT Analysis and Gibbs Model Application

This assignment presents a self-assessment through a SWOT analysis, identifying the author's strengths (communication and analytical skills), weaknesses (time management, ethical practice, and stress management), opportunities, and threats. The document then applies the Gibbs reflective cycle to analyze the author's learning process and preferred learning style (multimodal). The analysis emphasizes the importance of developing skills and adapting learning strategies for professional growth. The author reflects on their abilities and how to leverage them effectively, while acknowledging areas needing improvement. The assignment concludes with a list of references supporting the concepts discussed. This assignment is a valuable resource for students on Desklib to learn about self-assessment and reflective practice.

SWOT analysis
Strengths:
My strength is the most important factor that helps me to achieve my goals and work
effectively. Several areas are there in which I am competent enough for carrying my duties
appropriately. Some of the strength which I have developed while working in the company are
discussed below -
Communication Skills: This is my greatest strength as communication is the ice breaker for
starting any conversation and bonding with a manager or employee. In starting days, I was not
confident about what I say and what is to be said in a particular situation. But now I have strong
and effective communication skills (Peng, 2019). This is helpful in attaining organisational goals
and objectives. Good communication of mine is helpful in developing bond with other
employees and making them work appropriately. I am good in English speaking and most of our
clients know this language only so it is beneficial for me to work there.
Analytical Skills: It is seen that analytical skills of mine are good. I am good at collecting and
analysing information and solving different problems. When working in group, it is easy for me
to solve organisational problems and do my work appropriately. I use this skill while doing
various day to day activities.
Weaknesses:
Nobody in this world I perfect and so not I. There are some weaknesses of mine which
are hurdle in attaining organisational goals and objectives. These weaknesses become hurdle in
an individual's personal as well as professional life. My weaknesses are discussed below -
Time Management Skills: It is difficult for me to complete tasks and jobs in given time. While
working in the company when I am given different tasks at the same time, it is not easy for me to
do them perfectly (Phadermrod, Crowder, and Wills, 2019). I am not able to manage time and
work together. I have problem while prioritising my work. This limits in attaing the
organisational goals within the specified time frame.
Ethical Practice: This is my other weakness as I cannot do ethical practising at workplace. I
know it is very important to work in the company by following all ethical rules and practices.
Thus is is very important for me to manage this.

Stress Management: Stress is main cause for not achieving goals and this is my biggest
weakness. I am not able to manage work load.
Opportunities: While doing work with my colleagues, it is easier for me to explain them what
are the set targets and goals. My effective communication helps in meeting the goals in specified
time.
Threats: I have threat from other individuals working in similar field. To compete with others, I
must develop my abilities and skills for doing well.
Learning Skills Inventory:
According to the Gibbs model of reflection, it is concluded that there are basically six
steps involved in this which help in analysing skills and abilities of individual. The six stages
covered within the Gibbs reflective cycle are describing the problem, feelings regarding the
personal learning, evaluating the experience, analysis of work done or presented, conclusion and
at last the action plan. I am able to understand what are the capabilities and skills which I possess
and these must be used in right direction while my learning process (Vlados, 2019). It is essential
for me to develop my skills throughout the learning process. I have analysed that I am very good
at communication and analytical skill that helped me to develop my knowledge. I have to ensure
that there is development of skills and learning styles while doing my work. As per my views. I
think Multimodal learning style is the best.
