Academically (in
CULC)
• I took the responsibility to
prepare the slides for my
team, which required me to
learn new skills in MS Ppt. I
positively took the task
(GM) and went through
different video tutorials in
YouTube (IL), thus
accomplished the task.
• I worked as a team member
and helped fellow members
develop their communication
skill which enhanced my
confidence as well.
Professionally
(in Work)
• Learning MS PowerPoint by
myself will give me
confidence to learn more
things independently in my
profession. The team work
and taking responsibility for
this group presentation
broadened my mind which is
more receptive to challenge
now.
• In my business from now on I
will be more aware of the
happenings in the industry and
do my research to explore
growth opportunities.

12. 1. Once upon a time there
were 5 students in a team.
2. Each had their own learning
preference, some by seeing, some
hearing and so on…
3. They were from different
countries so had problem
working together, but, they
learned Tuckman’s model to
build a good team!!!
4. They did not know a lot of
things, but knew how to learn
independently and help team-
mates as they were self-aware.
5. Sometimes they got de-motivated
but others knew which motivational
theory works for whom, and inspired
each other. Together they adapted a
growth mindset. They managed their
tasks using Fayol’s theory.
6. Finally they performed
wonderfully in their
presentation, and after ten
years, now recollecting
those memories in their
learning journal!
