Personal and Professional Development Reflection for Goals

Question: Discuss about thePersonal and Professional Development Reflection for Goals. Answer: Learning and communication for innovative business practice Personal and professional development reflection Throughout my course in Learning and communication for innovative business practice, I have been able to apply what I have learnt in class. The course has helped me to develop my skills as it has offered a chance for me to practice some skills through experiential learning and other activities. My instructor has been assigning work for the course in and though handling the tasks, my goals, values have been shaped. I have got to a situation where I can identify the short term, medium term and also long term goals and act upon them. All in all, the experience in using the innovation framework in my course has helped me develop my profession and my career. I am in a position to confidently say that, in my future workplace or organization, I will be efficient, productive and a problem solver through the skills I have acquired in this lesson (Spencer, Niles and Harris-Bowlsbey, 2013, p.106). I have been able to develop knowledge in setting long term goals. The goals have been categorized in two. There is professional long term goals and also personal long term goals. To start with the professional goals, they are approximated to take place after about five years of practice. One of the long term goal is to start my own business firm and accounting. This will help me develop my career and also expand the market in service delivery. This goal has changed because before I did this unit, I had a mind of getting employment and working under the organization. However, I now feel that having a larger scope of accounting field of business can help me grow and become a more productive person. I would also like to become a successful and recognized financial partner, famous and considered in quality services delivery. On the personal long term goals, I would like to have my own family. A loving family is all what I need. A loving husband who will assist me chase my ambitions and dreams is my priority in long term goals. Having children is also a long term goal. I wish to have one whom I will nurture for him to have strong values and ambitious. Finally, a nice home for my family is in the list. The course I am pursuing has helped me in selecting the kind of life I want to live. Since I have enough skills from Learning and communication for innovative business practice, I am sure I will go far to achieve my long term objectives and goals. I perceived the experience in learning to be so different then I currently do. I thought of attending the Swinburne University just to acquire education in business. My short term goals in working in a big organization in Australia was baseless in terms of performance, skills and development. However, after going through the course in Learning and communication for innovative business practice, I am able to plan for the future in a more concise way. My short term goals are aimed to; becoming an accounting expert in the line management so as I can be able to practice my skills in business field and communication along the work force. I can be able to assist other business experts in solving some of the issues pertaining social challenge. According to Quintanilla and Wahl (2015), establishing good communication strategies would help in improving the performance of an organization. When I am able to apply theories learnt in class to establish a communicative environment, it would be a great achievement to my short term goals. It is approximated to take place few years of practice after I am done with my studies. According to (Barrett Value Centre, 2017), the person you are, what upsets you, what underlies ones decision are connected to ones values. I have been able to identify my core values and ultimately hold on to them. In the unit, Learning and communication for innovative business practice, I have learnt values core ethical values which would shape my profession and make me a successful business and accounting practitioner. I hold dear integrity, fairness, trustworthiness, honesty, respect and also cooperation. In the communication skills lesson for example, I was taught to be effective. I was able to develop and experience the change of these values. In the innovative framework, I was able to familiarize myself with the organizational culture whereby, it demanded an application of cooperation principle. The course engaged me in real organizational practice. I was able to determine the values that any of my friends needed to improve and as well, I was in a position to work for my side. However, there are issues that I dont like. Overdependence and overconfidence and anxiety are enemies to development. I try so much to exterminate them so that my career can be successful and at the same time, achieve my objectives. Through the course, I have as well got to a position to identify the change in my strong points. I have come to realization that a focused and ambitious accountant needs to identify his strengths and weaknesses while still building on those strengths and overcoming then working harder for the weak areas. Among my identified strong points, there is the love for learning whereby, I am driven by quest to acquire new skills in my field of to enhance the existing knowledge in business. The course has also led me to realize my strength to perseverance in terms of challenges. Challenges in accounting and learning related challenges. Of them all, the abilities to work in a team is my strongest point. I believe in team work as team work motivates one another and creativity is enhanced. I am therefore, able to apply the point in the field and achieve my success. I have demonstrated a great deviation. I previously thought that I would be independent and handle my tasks alone due to my temperaments. However, I have changed in how I respond to issue and I am ready to work with cooperation with any one and anywhere for the better. The experiences in using the innovation framework during my study of this lesson has exposed me to the understanding of the constituents of this framework in alignment with the corporate strategies in the organizations. The constituents such as; people, tools and processes, the metrics, communication: which I spent much time on, recognition and sponsorship contributed to the vast knowledge that I could successfully use to communicate various social challenges (Hoskin, Fizzell and Cherry, 2014, p.73). Reflecting on what I have studied in class has a positive implication to the prospective workman I will become in the near future. I can therefore base all my future studies on the notion of innovative business practice. Through the course, I have learnt that for innovation to take place, one should be in a position to access learning and update the knowledge and become more productive in the workplace. My career in business is subjected to improvement as I feel that I am fully capable of performing innovative business performances. Having adequate skills in learning and communicating, I can as well be able to train, orient and also promote communication skills in a real phenomenon. I have as well been equipped with creativity skills as it is clear that innovation in business practices are intertwined. Therefore, if I may get a chance to unlock my potential as a business expert I can have ample time as the course have equipped me with the relevant skills required. I have been able to develop knowledge and skills through Learning and communication for innovative business practice lesson. I have come across the ideas of Sindell (2015) who suggests that, it is possible to fly without motor but not without knowledge and skills. This has helped me to develop skills in, prioritising and scheduling different tasks, planning and organizational skills and also innovation and creativity competency. I can comfortably handle activities in the accounting firm, may be in future, and also carry them through sustainably. The course unit has been full of case studies and experiential set ups like engagement with real organization through the class works and assigned work. The engagements have made me develop my profession and whenever I get a related task, I am confident to approach it. In conclusion, Learning and communication for innovative business practice lesson has been so engaging and helpful to potential business and accounting learners. It has been learner cantered as I count the number of times I had to conduct research in the university library, consider different organizations and their culture and finally, I have come to a point where I can directly apply that knowledge in the workplace. Since my medium term goal is to seek a job in my field of accounting, I am hopeful that presenting myself to the managers will guarantee me an opportunity to give my services. For the case where I used a value proportional pitch in my assignment to address some social change, I made an advancement in problem solving skills which I am purposing to apply for my short, medium and long-term goals (Ryan and Ryan, 2013, p.244).
