Part 1
Introduction
In this part I’m going to talk about, the event that my team had conducted recently. My main
responsibility as an intern at the firm where I've been engaged for this work is to assist the
training and development manager with the organization and execution of a professional
development event for students. I have chosen grade 10 students from V.S. Niketan Higher
Secondary School which is located in Minbhawan, Kathmandu. The students of grade 10 are
willing to get new knowledge of data communication and computer network from us. I have
chosen very interesting topic for these students which is data communication and computer
networking. The training event is scheduled over a two-day period at a mutually agreed venue
and will include a number of activities such as workshops, pair works, presentation and
discussion with students. I have used a variety of talents, including effective communication,
interpersonal, and time management. I have created a Gantt chart for this entire event so that I
may generate specifications for any problems that have been detected. As I was able to solve the
problem regarding this event. At first, discuss about what is Gantt chart. A Gantt chart is a
project management tool assisting in the planning and scheduling of projects of all sizes,
although they are particularly useful for simplifying complex projects (apm, 2020). It would be
best idea to implement the whole in Gantt chart so that it will help me in future. For this event, I
have used different communication skills.
1
Dipesh Kumar Sah (HND/First Semester)
Professional Practice | 2022
Verbal Communication
Verbal communication is a form of oral communication in which the message is communicated
by speaking the words out loud. Here, the sender verbalizes his emotions, ideas, and viewpoints
in the form of speeches, dialogues, presentations, and conversations. During the event or
training, I used verbal communication in order to interact with students. With the help of verbal
communication, I was able to
deliver my view and message to students. I’ve use written as well as spoken communication, and
presentation which is also an part of the verbal communication.
Non-Verbal Communication
The technique of communicating ideas without using spoken or written words is known as non-
verbal communication. In other words, non-verbal communication is any communication
between two or more people that involves the use of facial expressions, hand gestures, body
language, postures, and gestures. I’ve used non-verbal communication to establishing and
maintain the interpersonal relationships with students. It really helps us to deliver or express
emotion and interpersonal attitude. The type of non-verbal communication is described below:
Body Language: Body language refers to how a person positions their body in response to a
situation, their surroundings, and their feelings. For example: Someone might cross their arms if
they are feeling angry or nervous.
Movement: Different messages can be sent to bystanders depending on how you move your
arms and legs, such as whether you walk rapidly or slowly, stand, sit, or fidget. For Example:
Sitting still and paying attention in a meeting conveys respect and attention.
Posture: Your comfort level, professionalism, and general demeanor toward a person or topic
may all be conveyed by how you sit or stand. For Example: Someone might slouch their
shoulders if they feel tired, frustrated or disappointed.
Gestures: Even though gestures differ greatly throughout cultures, they are often employed to
communicate with people in both purposeful and inadvertent ways. For example: Someone
might display a “thumbs up” to communicate confirmation or that they feel positive about
something.
2
Dipesh Kumar Sah (HND/First Semester)
Professional Practice | 2022
Facial expressions: Facial expressions are among the most prevalent nonverbal cues. It may be
quite successful to communicate feelings or information by using the brows, lips, eyes, and facial
movements. For Example: Someone might raise their eyebrows and open their eyes widely if
they feel surprised.
It’s important to define goals well before any event, and keep them in mind throughout the
planning process. Our goal from this training was to make student know, how computer network
work and how data flow through it. So, our first goal was to make sure students know about the
how data flow through the network. So, we schedule first day for data communication and
second day for computer network.
In this part, we made clear idea of what needs to be done on a day-to-day basis. What sub topics
should be covered in first day and what sub topics should be covered in second day was made.
We plan some Question-and-Answer session for student so that they don’t get bored during
training.
Event planning is a team sport, so it’s important to make use of every member of the team. As
we were team of 3 members. So I split the work in 3 section. Assign every one each section. So
that everyone would engage in work and learn team work and our event would be easily
managed.

Minimize distractions
Whether it’s social media, bad reality TV, or Netflix, we all have our vices mine is a
combination of the three. But for an event planner with an upcoming event, distractions are
absolutely detrimental to our time management success. In order to minimize the distraction for
the upcoming event, our team had uninstalled every social media app from his/her phone so that
no notification or post would distract us from upcoming event.
It is most important part for the time management. Busy event planners tend to work from sunup
to sundown. While that may seem like a good use of time, it can actually be damaging. A pro tip
for good time management is to make sure to make some time for yourself, whether it be a
coffee break, a quick afternoon walks or a break to hit the gym. We took every 10 min break
after 3 hours work. This was the best part of the planning process. Because of that we used to
feel fresh and motivated.
Gantt Chart
A Gantt chart is a project management tool assisting in the planning and scheduling of projects
of all sizes, although they are particularly useful for simplifying complex projects (apm, 2020).
It is one of the most popular and useful ways of showing activities (tasks or events) displayed
against time. On the left of the chart is a list of the activities and along the top is a suitable time
scale. Each activity is represented by a bar; the position and length of the bar reflects the start
date, duration and end date of the activity. So, I have made Gantt chart for the whole event as
below.

Training description
We were 3 members in our team each having specific job to do in the event. We selected Sunday
and Monday as our event time because this day our company are closed or we can say that
holiday. We have planned to start the event at sharp 10AM to 12PM (June 26, Sunday) and
second day 11AM to 1PM (June 27, Monday). Every member of our team has specific topic to
present in the presentation. On Sunday, we have divided 12-time frames for respective roles. One
of my friend start event with introduction and give presentation till transmission mode. Then
there is a 20 min short break for the student so that they don’t get bored. After the break time is
finished, Next friend continue the event with the topic of introduction of computer network and
finished his task up to Network topology. Lastly, I handle the rest of the topic which start from
advantage and disadvantage to workshops. I explained them in such a way that they can easily

Professional Practice | 2022
related topic with their daily life which make them easy to understood the such a complex topic.
Then we focus on workshop. I personally helped students to understood about skill which is very
important in IT.
Next day, we discussed about question that arise in the student mind. I personally tried to clear
all of the student’s confusion regarding computer network. At last of the event, we collect the
feedback form from the students.
Parts of Training
Our team's mission statement was to enable students to understand the IT sector and give
knowledge about it, including its significance, advantages, and applications to daily life. so that it
would be simpler for them to choose the appropriate vocation in the future, one that will be
crucial to the growth of our nation. To make it easier for students to grasp, we have broken our
instruction into five sections. There are five components to training:
Workshop:
Our goal was to impart a fundamental understanding of computer networking and programming.
We wanted them to comprehend the basics of computer communication. In this session, we teach
networking and programming in a hands-on manner to ensure that every participant understands
how programming is utilized in the current world to address real-life issues and how to put it into
practice.
Presentation
It is the primary portion of the training event when each member of our team gives a speech on
IT using a PowerPoint slide to pique everyone's interest and keep them constrained throughout
the training.
Discussion
After the competition of presentation, we arrange discussion session which is the very important
part of the training. This session helped student to clear their confusion and share their thought,
idea among us which help them to remove misconception about some IT theories.
Sharing idea
6
Dipesh Kumar Sah (HND/First Semester)
Professional Practice | 2022
We were able to find some time for a sharing session after the training was over. The participant
would benefit from knowing more knowledge and learning new things over the two-day training
program.
Tasks
Due to the two days of training. It was our responsibility to make sure the kids comprehended the
ideas we taught them over the course of two days. To demonstrate that we provide them jobs.
They will become better at solving problems, and it will also let us know how much they have
learned from us. For them to remember the training for a long time, we separated the students
into 6 groups of 3 and provided each group a distinct activity relating to our theme.
So, these 5 parts of the help us to make the training event successful. If we follow these 5 parts
of training, I’m sure that any training would be successful without any obstacles.
Rules of training
Being IT students, it is crucial for us to keep our focus and our ability to manage our time. So
that the training would be well-managed and exact, I created a few regulations for it. Some of the
regulations that were established during training for both students and us are as follows:
7
Dipesh Kumar Sah (HND/First Semester)
Professional Practice | 2022
1. Intrapersonal communication
Intrapersonal communication is the communication you have with yourself, either spoken,
written, or thought. Intrapersonal communication can be anything from solving a complex
problem in your mind to thinking about what to wear today or what to have for breakfast. We
used this communication wherein we juggle roles between the sender and receiver who are
processing our thoughts and action.
2. Interpersonal Communication
This is the form of communication take place between two individuals. We used this
communication with our team mate to decide our role and to clear some quires arise in the
training.
4. Public Communication
Public Communication can be defined as strategic communication to convey ideas, programs,
though, presentations, data, propaganda, etc., to the masses, the public, students, or niche
audiences. We used this communication to deliver our speech to students and other audience. It
helped us to share our thought to large mass of people.
Non-verbal communication
The technique of communicating ideas without using spoken or written words is known as non-
verbal communication. In other words, non-verbal communication is any communication
between two or more people that involves the use of facial expressions, hand gestures, body
language, postures, and gestures. I have used different types of non-verbal communication
during training, in order to get attention of students. The several types of non-verbal
communication used during event are as follow:
8
Dipesh Kumar Sah (HND/First Semester)
Professional Practice | 2022
1. Gesture
Simply gesture refers to the movement of the hand, arms and legs. I have used this part of my
body to get attention of the students so that they do not loose their concentration and it will make
event training interesting.
2. Eye contact
Eye contact is a particularly significant kind of nonverbal communication since it is the most
prevalent sense for most individuals. During event I made eye contact with student so that they
get interest, affection, hostility, or attraction. It also helped me to maintain the flow of
communication with students as well as for gauging the interest and response of students.
3. Facial Expression
The human face is incredibly expressive and can silently reflect a wide range of emotions. Facial
expressions are also ubiquitous, in contrast to several other nonverbal communication
techniques. During event I used my facial expression communication by smile so that student
will be perceived as more likable, friendly, warm and approachable.
4. Paralinguistics
Vocal communication that is distinct from spoken language is referred to as paralinguistics. This
includes elements like pitch, inflection, loudness, and voice tone. During event I used this
communication in order to gain attention of the students by changing the voice tone , loudness,
and pitch.
5. Humor
It is frequently regarded as the most significant kind of nonverbal communication. A nice
environment that promotes learning is fostered through laughing, which also serves to relieve
tension. I made the audience laugh during the event.
very good for our professional life. The different time management technique I used during event
are as follow:
Scheduling
The arrangement and management of task in a proper time is scheduling. It is very important to
start the work from beginning. So, I created a proper gantt chat as per the topic and time
schedule. In above gantt chat we can see a lot of information about what topic is going to be
taught at what time which is the best way to evaluate a work of event.
Prioritizing
Prioritizing is the process of organizing tasks based on their priority. I created a to-do list for the
event using this method. Not only must we handle the topic throughout the event, but also the
projector, laptop, and other equipment. Therefore, it is essential to prioritize the work so that
nothing critical gets overlooked.
Planning
The process of making plan for specific task is planning. The training and event was planned by
our team. We had to made plan in order to make our event successful.
Conclusion
Lastly, it was great experience to be the part of this event. I gain a lot of knowledge about mass
communication and time management. I came to know how to work on a team and how to be
part of a team. I gain knowledge about different project management software like gantt chat.
I’m sure that this experience will help me in future to organize the event for an company or
organization in my professional life.

Introduction
In this part I’m will be presenting the presentation about the team dynamics. Which talks about,
the advantage of team dynamic in the success and failure in group work. Team dynamics are the
unconscious, psychological forces that influence the direction of a team’s behavior and
performance. They are like undercurrents in the sea, which can carry boats in a different
direction to the one they intend to sail

Commitment: It becomes crucial to raise employee commitment and trust toward one another
and the company, which may be done by using team dynamics definition.
Communication: Since cooperation among the staff is necessary to get the desired outcomes.
Therefore, it becomes crucial to prevent their communication hurdles. Coordination within the
team is greatly aided by effective communication between individuals. In a team environment,
effective communication fosters a strong sense of camaraderie and allows for the free exchange
of ideas and opinions.
Productivity: It is undeniable that strong team dynamics promote productivity since colleagues
are more inclined to support one another through trying times and have improved
communication skills.
Creativity: Team members start placing the highest focus on innovation. New company
strategies are defined by effective team dynamics, which also encourages employee
experimentation.
Bonding: Strong team dynamics and successful bonding characterize greater performance.
When the organization wants the team to be productive over the long term, it becomes necessary
to discuss the significance of team dynamics.
Growth: Effective teams operate more efficiently because they support each other's professional
development, increase their willingness to learn, and assist each other achieve goals.
17
Dipesh Kumar Sah (HND/First Semester)
Professional Practice | 2022
There are some factors that can cause failure in team dynamics they are
A lack of trust and opportunities to build it: Trust is one of the key components of
cohesiveness. Team members should innately trust one another to complete their tasks
competently and with the greater good in mind. However, this trust is frequently absent, which
prevents team members from giving their all. Usually, this may be attributed to the absence of
first opportunities for trust-building.
Given the stress they inject into the workplace, bad managers often form teams that fail to meet
goals and easily fall apart. If nothing else, this is a cautionary tale about the extreme importance
of good leaders, especially when team performance has become a priority for the organization.

would help them to decide correct course in future. We got appointment to conduct training for 2
days.
After the selection of topic and places, we divided our group for suitable work and role in
training in order to achieve successful training. We had to made appropriate plane for our role.
The role divided among us were:
2. Event manager
The work of event manager is to Ensuring that all aspects of event planning have strategic value
in reaching the event’s goal. Mr. Karan Yadav role was a event manager in our training. He had
done his work very well.
3. Trainer
Mr. Sprisha Shrestha and Keshav Kumar Yadav was selected as trainer during our event. It is our
duty to control the flow of time and the workload during events. We must satisfy all
requirements related to our topic, "Importance of Information Technology," in the modern world
as well as the development of technology in human beings and other living things. We must also
provide an explanation of the training event. Additionally, how technology affects the world and
how it advances humankind.
19
Dipesh Kumar Sah (HND/First Semester)
Professional Practice | 2022
4. Technical head
In technical head, Mr. Dipesh Kumar Sah (me) handle the technical part of the event. My job
was to make sure there is no technical error during event.
Team role
According to the Dr. Raymond Meredith Belbin there are nine possible teams’ roles, which he
categorized into three groups:
Completer-Finisher: Completer-Finishers are the people who see that projects are completed
thoroughly.
For example, I want relate this with Mr. Spersha and Kehsav Kumar Yadav who were trainer
during event. At that point, they are very worried about our team's situation, whether a problem
is there or not. We are always there to help them with their problems if they have any. We are
prepared and have complete faith in the program.
People-Oriented Roles
People oriented roles bring people and ideas together. The three people-oriented roles are:
Coordinator: Coordinators are the ones who take on the traditional team-leader role and have
also been referred to as "chairperson."
Team Worker: Team Workers are the people who provide support and make sure that members
of their team are working together effectively.
Resource Investigator: Resource Investigators are innovative and curious. They explore
available options, develop contacts, and negotiate for resources on behalf of the team.
20
Dipesh Kumar Sah (HND/First Semester)
Professional Practice | 2022
For Example: During our event planner Rupesh Yadav play important role in the team. He guide
the us to what they perceive are the objectives. He was very good listener. He also developed
good relationship and coordinate with school team.
Thought-Oriented Roles
Thought oriented roles analyze options and provide technical expertise. The three cerebral roles
are:
Plant: The Plant is the creative innovator who comes up with new ideas and approaches.
Monitor-Evaluator: Monitor-Evaluators are best at analyzing and evaluating ideas that other
people (often Plants) come up with.
Specialist: Specialists are people who have specialized knowledge that's needed to get the job
done.
For Example: During event Mr. Karan Yadav being event manager had to lead the team and
handle the role in a correct way in training event. His managed the event successfully. He came
up with new idea and implemented it in the training which make our training more interesting
and successful. Similarly, Mr. Dipesh Kumar Sah (Me) lead the technical part of the training. I
check every technical aspect of the training.
My Role in a team
As our group was made by our teacher Garima Giri. She separates group according to our roll
no. She also informs us to select one topic for our group and we selected the topic importance of
IT and its scope in career development.
I served as the team's technical leader for the event. It was my duty to oversee the training's
technical component. In case of a power outage, I was in charge of the inverter for the training. I
made a backup of every document and PowerPoint that was required for the training since it
would be a serious issue if someone accidentally deleted the files from the laptop.
21
Dipesh Kumar Sah (HND/First Semester)
Professional Practice | 2022
I had forwarded several ideas for the event to the event manager. We worked together in that
idea and our event was successful. So overall I tried my best to perform good in a team member
to run the program smoothly.
Conclusion
Overall, everyone in our group cooperated with one another, worked well as a team, and
successfully finished our training. By planning this event, we have come to the realization that
working in groups is more effective and crucial to achieving a goal. Working as a team member
in a team was a fantastic experience. By planning this training, I get a lot of knowledge. I learned
the actual meaning of organizations working toward a common objective. Depending on how
well team members interact with one another, either success or failure will result. As a result,
team dynamics are crucial to a team's ability to succeed or fail in achieving a common objective.

As per the demand of the training, we provided feedback form to the students. From this
feedback form, we got student point of view regarding our training and their feedback was
positive which encourage us to organization such training in the future. Here, I am going to
evaluate about the effectiveness and application of interpersonal skills during the design and
delivery of a training event.
Interpersonal skill
We employ interpersonal skills on a daily basis to engage and communicate with others, both
individually and in groups. They cover a wide spectrum of abilities, but are especially strong in
communication abilities like active listening and persuasive speaking. The capacity to regulate
and manage our emotions is also among them. It is mostly used in team. Every team member
should have this interpersonal skill. We used this skill to interact with students during event.
Body Language
Body structure is a part of the communication. People often tend to overlook nonverbal
communication, but we must not. It is very important make student focus in our training. So, we
used this language to interact with students such as facial expression, gesture, using of hands and
eye contact.
Time Management
Time management is the process of organizing and planning how to divide time between
different activities. Good time management helps us complete our task before deadline. We also
used time management during our event. As our training was for 2 days, we had to do many
tasks in short time period. So, we used time management. We split our task into each group
member with specific task time. With the proper time management, we were able to complete
our training successfully. Time management was the important part of our training event. We can
also due to time management we can get success.

Self Confidence
Good interpersonal skills start with the person. That’s right, no one is going to believe you're
good at your job if you don’t believe it yourself. Self confidence is the only key that make us do
thing. It will improve the way audience perceive us. It develops positive vibes toward the
audience. If we have good self-confidence, no gets bored while we have self-confidence.
Good personality
People with strong personalities have a great sense of style and intelligence. They are more
comfortable speaking in front of large crowds. Individual personalities are crucial during the
training process. In order for a team to work well together, each member needs have a positive
personality.
Team work
Teamwork is crucial when it comes to interpersonal skills. Even though the profession
necessitates independence, they nevertheless have to work well with others. Effective teamwork
depends on clear communication, active listening, peer motivation, and cooperative conflict
resolution. Team work helps us to complete task in short period of time. During our event we
assign each task to each member of group which helped to complete event successfully. We
coordinate with each other if there is any problem on task.

verbally as well as non-verbally. As we were conveying through talks and compositions which is
a piece of verbal correspondence, were likewise imparting non-verbally as there was eye to eye
connection, some look and appendages developments during the occasion. We had the option to
speak with the understudies and it helped us in our character advancement which was because of
the viability of the relational abilities.
Additionally, there was an association of cooperation between our gathering individuals which
helped us planning with one another. At first, there was a few questions for sorting out the
occasion however the innovative reasoning and relational abilities assist us with playing out our
obligation to coordinate the occasion appropriately and easily. It assists with accomplishing our
objective and satisfy our obligation collectively in cooperation. During the occasion, relational
abilities as well as the significance of administration help to achieve the occasion objective. Our
collaboration was impacted by the administration significance and time usage abilities.
1. Goal Setting
Setting goals is the first step to becoming a good time manager. Goal-setting allows you to
clearly understand your end goal and what exactly you need to prioritize to accomplish it. During
the event, we were clear about our goal and we prioritize the task according to importance.
During the initial phase of the event, all of the group members shared their idea and created a
26
Dipesh Kumar Sah (HND/First Semester)
Professional Practice | 2022
common goal of the group. In order to accomplish it, we only focus on our time to achieve that
specific goal. Our first goal was to convince the school management for the training. I have
recorded my goal in gantt chat.
2. Prioritization
As we were organizing event, prioritization play important role in event. We had to do lots of
work and it confused us with from which work shall we get started. Prioritization shouldn't start
with getting more done, but rather with avoiding or eliminating the things you shouldn't be
doing. We should only focus on the most valuable work once the prioritized tasks are done.
In gantt chat, we discussed all the tasks that should be avoided. Therefore, we ignored the less
significant tasks and prioritized the most crucial ones, thus achieving so many things in a short
period of time. When we prioritize our work, we are able to manage our time and work more
effectively.
3. Focus
Focusing in multiple tasks lead us to distraction, so we should focus on single task. A lack of
focus may cause a task to be delayed. Focus and direction should be maintained throughout the
task in order to achieve the main objective. During preparation of the event, several tasks needed
to be completed in a short period of time. However, we all managed to focus on one task at a
time and blocked out all distractions.
4. Decision Making
In order to make a decision, we need clear criteria. Throughout the task, it is the most important
skill we should possess. We are distracted from our main objective when we are unable to make
a proper decision. There may be a loss of time as a result. Our decisions have a direct impact on
everything around us if we are unable to make good ones. Each member of my team contributes
to decision-making, which helps us to accomplish our task effectively. As a result, decision
making is also regarded as one of the most essential time management skills as it allows for a
good use of time to accomplish specific objectives.
5. Planning
Managing work and time efficiently leads to our tasks being completed smoothly and efficiently.
The ability to plan is a key component of effective time management, since it allows us to
27
Dipesh Kumar Sah (HND/First Semester)
Professional Practice | 2022
envision all the tasks needed to complete a project and how they will fit together. Planning well
will save us a lot of time. Taking the right approach to planning is simple and quick, but if we
approach it the wrong way, it becomes tedious and inefficient. Our work was planned and timed
accordingly, allowing us to achieve our specific goal according to our plan. Therefore, proper
planning is the most productive time management skill.
Conclusion
As a result, our training was successful. Interpersonal skills were used during the event. This
helps us to handle events and coordinate with students and team members. We were able to
achieve our training objectives thanks to interpersonal skills. I contributed to the team by
investigating and collecting the resources needed to successfully conduct that event. My team
and I had established contact, maintained good relationships, explored options, and negotiated.

Introduction
In the event organized by our team, we discussed various topic in which student had confusion. I
briefly discuss the importance of planning and running events as an IT intern. As part of my
project, I also discuss different problem-solving techniques and explain how they can be
used. The event also requires the use of critical thinking and reasoning techniques, in addition to
problem solving techniques. During the event, some irritating and disturbing moments occurred.
The method I used helped me overcome this situation while presenting to audiences. In the
following, I will discuss the importance and how to use it while facing a problem as well as
problem-solving techniques.
SWOT Analysis
A SWOT analysis is a compilation of your company’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and
threats. The primary objective of a SWOT analysis is to help organizations develop a full
awareness of all the factors involved in making a business decision (Daily, 2022). It helps
companies identify the factors influencing a strategy, action, or initiative by examining the four
elements of the acronym. Companies can communicate what parts of a plan need to be
recognized more effectively if they are aware of these positive and negative elements.
Here, this is the best technique to know about the problem deeply. And by this technique we can
origin of the problem from where it arises.

while solving problem. We critically think about what the problem is and situation is and find the
solution. At first we use critical reasoning in our problem then we use critical thinking in it.
Critical thinking is self-guided, self-disciplined thinking which attempts to reason at the highest
level of quality in a fair-minded way. People who think critically consistently attempt to live
rationally, reasonably, empathically. They are keenly aware of the inherently flawed nature of
human thinking when left unchecked (Elder, 2007).
After solving first problem, second problem arise Infront of us. The problem was controlling the
class. The class was so noisy and unmanageable. So, we decided to select two students as
monitor and assign them the task to control the remaining students. The main problem that was
very important was the electricity cut which may cause serious effect on our training as projector
won’t be able to run without electricity. We critically think about the problem and start thinking
how to solve this problem. We all have five laptop and one is separated for us and other four are
provided to group of students. And they also help us by managing the laptops and helping in
solving of a problem. Hence, critical reasoning and thinking help us to solve the problems.
Research topic
We research on “use of problem-solving technique while in design and delivery of a
program”.
At first, we identify the problem and find the solution in an appropriate way.
Research Method
Both primary and secondary method was used during our research. We create different problem-
solving solutions from primary research and gather more ideas from secondary sources to face
and solve problems. Also, we interviewed Mrs. Anu Maya Tamang, a well-known event
organizer. In addition to sharing her opinion, she helped us learn more about our research.
The way she managed to solve the problem was explained to us. Whenever she is planning an
event, she always thinks about possible problems that may arise. The main problems are as
follows:

She explained us how idea solve the problems. After that, we start to study about problem and
we thought solution critically and find the best solution for the problem. She said,’ at first think
critically about the problem and apply critical reasoning and thinking on that problem and try to
find solution of that problem and there should be good communication between team members.
So that it will help in problem solving.
Interview transcript:

personal experienced and nice to meet you. ideas and learn more things from my
experiences.
Critical reasoning
The main aim of critical reasoning is to identify, judge, and evaluate situations in order to
understand, analyze, and resolve the problem, as well as implement the best solution. By
practicing it properly, you can sharpen this basic skill that all humans possess. It is easier to
make good decisions when we can think critically.

Introduction
In motivation theory, we study what motivates a person to work towards a particular goal. All of
society can benefit from it, but businesses and management are particularly impacted by it.
There are many motivation theories but some of them are explained below:
37
Dipesh Kumar Sah (HND/First Semester)
Professional Practice | 2022
Impact on workshop
Social aspects motivate the employee.
There is a desire to feel secure on the part of the employee. As a result, it will be of great
help to them in difficult economic times.
It is in the employee's best interest to work hard and seek rewards.
There will be opportunities for the employee to learn and grow while at
Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory
Herzberg’s Two-factor theory, also known as Motivator-Hygiene, emanated from a study
conducted among accounts and engineers to determine what makes an individual feel good or
38
Dipesh Kumar Sah (HND/First Semester)
Professional Practice | 2022
bad about their job (Badubi, 2017). Herzberg conducted a widely reported motivational study on
200 accountants and engineers employed by firms in and around Western Pennsylvania.
According to Herzberg, the opposite of satisfaction is not dissatisfaction. The underlying reason,
he says, is that removal of dissatisfying characteristics from a job does not necessarily make the
job satisfying. He believes in the existence of a dual continuum. The opposite of ‘satisfaction’ is
‘no satisfaction’ and the opposite of ‘dissatisfaction’ is ‘no dissatisatisfaction’.
Impact on workshop
There is a direct correlation between hygiene factors and employee status, security, and a
better working relationship with co-workers and managers.
Employee motivation means achieving goals, being recognized, growing, and learning at
work.
Impact on workplace
Using this theory, employees are motivated to assume responsibility for performing tasks
and finding solutions.
Taking calculated risks and setting difficult goals is characteristic of the employee.
It is important for employees to maintain good relations between leaders and followers.
Employees will value the feelings and thoughts of their colleagues.

Conclusion
In this task, I clearly explain motivational theory and its impact on the workplace.

Usage of CPD within Organization
ISMT college
Coherence
Upon completion of our developmental plan, we will list the plans that have some connection
with what we do on a daily basis. As an example, when we list communication styles but don't
apply them in a real scenario or life for practice, then the CPD isn't effective. In order to achieve
better results, we should apply the listed items in real-time.
41
Dipesh Kumar Sah (HND/First Semester)
Professional Practice | 2022
Duration:
In order to develop a plan that is effective, we must spend sufficient time on the activities that
need to be improved.
Supported
To achieve goals in organizations, CPD must be supported by our teams or friends according to
situations.
Conclusion
By participating in CPD, we can improve our skills and work towards our goals. As a result,
businesses are more inclined to invest in this program, as it helps increase public confidence,
develop skills, knowledge, and career opportunities that will be beneficial to the company in the
future. Therefore, CDP can assist in career development or possible career changes in the future.
