 1. Introduction:

The key goal of the following report is to increase awareness and evaluate the effects of
personal skills as well as how to develop the skills required.

A knowledge and skills auditing is the method to find deficiencies in skill and to identify gaps in
development. Knowledge and skills testing is the method of documenting capability and
abilities. The certification audit is carried out to assess the human capacities and their
performance in achieving personal and professional goals [ CITATION Kol12 \l 1033 ]. The audit of
expertise tends to develop people's skills against the corporate priorities and the company
tends to improve individual efficiency. The Audit of Competencies represents existing
capabilities and their potential to fulfil future needs. An activity may be specified to assist a
person in assessing, enhancing and acting on their ability, and in continuously developing those
capacities throughout the career. It is easier to priorities all the tasks if a person is mindful of
his/her short-term and long-term priorities by holding carefully in mind the value of each task.
The most critical part of a person's life is to develop personal and technical skills to accomplish
the necessary goals. There is therefore no personal development plan, no path for you and
therefore no improvement and milestones. There is no personal development plan [ CITATION
Gal13 \l 1033 ]. According to my point of view some skills is very important and some important

skills is given below:

1.1 Communication Skills:

In the travel and tourism industry interaction and awareness are important. The travel and
hotel industry continues to draw tourists as they purchase the packages by proper
communication. I will connect with the consumer accurately. I may make persuasive
connections with the consumer by good contact.

1.2 Leadership:
In the management of a team job, a company or subordinates, leadership skills are often
important. The workers can be led towards the optimal results by effective leadership skills. I
may evaluate people with varying personality patterns and control them. I will steer the subject
to performance and inspire team members by proper leadership skills.

2
1.3 Problem Solving Skills:
Know-how is important in all sectors. The willingness to solve a problem is important if the
situation is to be different. I prefer to solve the issues using rational theories and practical
approaches.

1.4 Technological Skills

In the operations of recent trends, technological awareness is essential. The team can be
managed efficiently and scientifically through IT skills. In managing tasks, I have experience of
some IT skills. 

2. Audit and Evaluation of Key Skills

An audit of personal talents is an ideal way to recognize a person's capabilities and to develop
in a stable environment. It has been proved incredibly useful that people primarily seek
visionary bosses and developers during their careers. The personal competency audit relies on
the field of industry in which you work and depends on the various fields and conditions. There
are several possibilities to understand or obtain information. Many prior scholars have
introduced their theories, which essentially are a well-structured collection of concepts that
describe how individuals acquire, maintain and remember their information and understanding.
There are three forms of philosophy of learning: action, cognitive theory and constructivism. In
learning philosophy, we can understand what the learning process is and how it takes place
(Chang, 2016). The following three theories were drawn up:

2.1 Behaviorism:
In this theory an individual gets knowledge clearly by analyzing the shift in other people's
behavior critically. For behaviorists, learning requires new actions or changes in current
behavior. The learning process continues as the desires or references to the external elements
influence the learner's atmosphere and he/she responds them. The HR should provide rewards
and bonus points in the company so that workers can perform more work. Moreover, laws and

3
guidelines also regulate employee behavior. The downside to this principle is, though, that it
would not train or strengthen the workforce for a dynamic situation (Chang, 2016).

2.2 Cognitive:
All of this includes the internal processing and the details required. In contrast to the principle
before, the cognitive mechanism is primarily controlled by internal mechanisms, rather than
external conditions. Instead of findings, the theorist pays more attention and illustrates mental
processes. The modified behavior, therefore, is analyzed and used in the cognitive phase to get
a sense of what happens within the brain of a human. This theory can be used for problem
solving in the corporate sense.

2.3 Constructivism:
This philosophy is all about acquiring and developing a knowledge base for the understanding
and creation of concepts. People build their own paradigm of understanding that provides a
sense of experience. This idea facilitates an intellectual comprehension. In addition, it is difficult
to forecast results as students construct them according to their experience. This theory cannot
be used if companies are still searching for reliable outcomes. This are used in coordination and
simulations.

2.4 SWOT Analysis for audit

A personal SWOT analysis is a vital tool to use if your job and other flimsy life changes are to be
brought on. It will help me to decide where I need to develop and, above all, encourage me to
defect my internal abilities and gain advantages in order to gain my chance and avoid any
external obstacles to the progression of my profession. I will be cataloguing my strengths and
disadvantages in an independent expansion, takes into account my tiresome opportunities, and
turns my risks into fantastic opportunities. SWOT analysis may be described as a research
carried out on the basis of internal powers and vulnerabilities and risks and opportunities
performed by organizations or individuals. I also have done SWOT analysis of my personal skills
on the base of course learning and throughout my job experience.

 I've got the power of good communication skill. I am able to put correct motives among the
team members through communicative skills. The ability to connect is also useful in any classes
to ask questions. My power is also the capacity to control time. They would be useful to take
classes without making an effect on my career experience. The deficiency in the absence of
listening skills will put hurdles in the exercise. Since I lack the professional expertise, I can cope
with challenges as the institutional and cultural changes take place.

2.5 Skills Evaluation

I have used a rating scale 1 to 5 for the evaluation of my skills. A table is given below in which I
have mentioned my skills and rating points, 1 means most bad area and 56 means most best
area of my skills.

I have used a rating scale system for the evaluation of my skills. According to result of this rating
scale I need to learn technical skills and problem solving skills.

2.6 Gibbs' Reflective Cycle

This is where the reflection cycle of Gibbs is useful. You will use that to motivate the employees
to realize what they are doing well and what they will be able to do more in the
future[ CITATION Min201 \l 1033 ].

You should either use the model yourself to look at a case, or use it with a mentor.

Description:

Ask the coach first to explain in depth the scenario. You just want to know what happened at
this point – you can draw conclusions later.

Feelings:

Encourage him, then, to write about the experiences he thought and feels. Avoid reflecting on
your feelings at this point.

Evaluation:

Now you would allow the coach to look seriously at what approaches have succeeded and
which have not.

Conclusions:

You will help the team partner draw conclusions about what happened after you have assessed
the situation.

3. Personal Development Research and Planning

9
For the advancement of technical and also personal skills, the development plan is required.
The growth strategy recognizes the necessary strategies and modes needed to strengthen
developed skills. In addition to the processes, each change is set to the time scale. The personal
and professional growth strategy is focused on the organization's appropriate skills. The growth
strategy improves the people's existing expertise depending on the profile of their work. In the
development of the personal strategy, the personal and professional priorities and the
corporate goals are both focused. In the growth strategy, people will set the directions in which
they can learn to change. The personal and career goals growth strategy both includes short
and long-term goals[ CITATION Mar13 \l 1033 ] . Proper techniques are expected for the execution
of the development plan. The attributes and emerging developments on the industry are
analyzed before the execution of the growth plan job targets. The criteria for success are also
determined. The priorities are calculated by the SMART scale before the goals are placed.
Certain steps are included in the implementation of personal growth planning:

Growth priorities: the criterion for meeting these goals should be determined by the
interpretation of life goals. In the process of defining concrete and feasible objectives, the
SMART target scale is required in a proper time frame.

Progress criteria: the deficiencies can be removed by critical consideration of strengths and
weaknesses and the production of strengths. They help to define the general goals of the
personal and technical skills learning requirements.

Implementation: The emphasis should be focused on the implementation of the PDP tasks to
achieve the necessary targets. Implementation:

Support: these are the tools that can enable the growth goals to be accomplished.

Objective times: the dates at which the desired results are to be reached.

Dates of review: These dates show the PDP review to allow progress to be made, to represent
learning, the variables to be defined as growth barriers

3.1 Opportunities analysis

10
I have identified the necessary practices to reduce my deficiency and improve strength through
the advancement of personal and professional preparation. A more critical thought on
construction is developed by the critical reflection on the growth plan. Both priorities and
associated activities need to be reviewed in order to prepare a reflective critical message. When
I evaluate the analytical reflection I am able to determine the abilities and shortcomings that
my capabilities contain. To develop my technical skills, these limitations are required. The goals
are set in the SMART scale model. To reset the target, the target should be selected for
performance and inaccuracy in terms of time usage. I have defined the goals and the various
approaches to improve them through the Personal and Professional Growth Strategy. The
strategies for personal and career growth that I have set are time-effective. These goals also
tend to boost my career chances. I want to reset my presenting skills to the purpose of trying to
be an effective team leader. The skills in presentation must be reset, representing critique. To
attain this potential, I have to take part in seminars and conferences that often take time and
expense. With efficient leadership skills, I can present the priorities and goals within the team
members. I can reset presenting skills to save time and accomplish other goals. As I have the
correct leadership skills that can help the team members present their thoughts or goals.
Taking this into account, the presenting skills should be reset to concentrate more on time
saving and good communicative skills. The reset goal is then to develop the skills of
presentation by 29 July 2021. Some basic opportunities which I identified is given below:

 Guidance from the organization's expertise will also aid in this regard
 Taking multiple courses will help develop technical skills
 Wide internet connectivity is also beneficial as various information can easily be given
by social networks
 The institutes or training centers provide various classes to can develop existing
knowledge. They are also offered.
 Different workshops and conferences are also useful to develop the ability to present
and interact.
 Apprenticeship availability

11
  I may improve existing skills and also improve risk management attributes by addressing
multiple contrasting scenarios.
 I will boost my efficiency by constantly improving my technical skills.

3.2 Development skills methods

There are several ways to classify the types of learning and most of these classifications are
individually based[ CITATION Joh13 \l 1033 ]. We have categorized the learning styles into four
different categories as a result of the perception of one such person. Person has his own
manner in which knowledge can be learned and interpreted differently. Although most people
provide the details, we examine various significant and renowned literature types that are
commonly used.

3.2.1 Internship

An internship is a good start to your profession. Internships are usually coordinated by a

training counsellor who will assist you in matching an organization that suits your job
objectives. Because businesses usually have to fulfil educational criteria for internships, you can
discuss the work you want to do at full time for several facets of your business. Other criteria,
including schooling and minimum work experience, are also listed. You probably may not have
the requisite experience when you first enter the workforce after college or after a vocational
formation programmer.

 4. Conclusion

Individuals and the organization, in order to track the consistent implementation and further
specifications on education qualifications, need personal and professional growth preparation.
The learners of various types will develop their current skills and development over the course
of their careers through the teaching. Seminars and conferences are successful self-managed
learning that allows students to acquire greater awareness of various topics. For the desired
credentials of the company, SML learning styles and lifetime learning styles are important. For
the advancement of technical and also personal skills, the development plan is required. The
growth strategy recognizes the necessary strategies and modes needed to strengthen
developed skills. In addition to the processes, each change is set to the time scale. The personal
and professional growth strategy is focused on the organization's appropriate skills. The growth
strategy improves the people's existing expertise depending on the profile of their work. In the
development of the personal strategy, the personal and professional priorities and the
corporate goals are both focused. In the growth strategy, people will set the directions in which
they can learn to change. The personal and career goals growth strategy both includes short
and long-term goals. Proper techniques are expected for the execution of the development
plan. The attributes and emerging developments on the industry are analyzed before the
execution of the growth plan job targets. The criteria for success are also determined. The
priorities are calculated by the SMART scale before the goals are placed.
