Final Critical Reflection

Module Learning   Throughout the CPD II journey, I realised I have learned a lot about communication. I used to think that communication was just about presenting and speaking well, but I understand now that it includes all the verbal, non-verbal cues, tones, expressions as well as how I project myself professionally. The goals I set for myself at the start of the module was to improve my writing and communication skills and learning how to create good relationship with others.   I believe I have achieved these goals as Brad constantly corrects our sentence structure and grammar during class activities. Furthermore, feedback from my fellow classmates and working with different groups in class has aided in my learning. The soft skills acquired were vital to my development and I am sure it will be useful in the near future.         Apart from that, I mentioned that one of my weakness is not being confident enough to speak and present to large groups. I believe I h

1. Introduction 1.1 Changi Airport Group Changi Airport became operational on 1 July 1981 and officially opened on 29 December 1981.  Currently, Changi Airport has four terminals and Project Jewel which is scheduled to be opened in April 2019. There are also upcoming plans to build Terminal five which will be bigger than Terminal two and three and would be able to handle up to 50 million passengers in the terminal alone (Tan, 2014).

Critical Reflection on Skills on Wheels

Skills on Wheels is a good platform for students to learn more about communication and enrich their learning through the activities on the portal. I have chosen the modules “Converse with Confidence” and “Build Relationships” as I feel that these 2 modules would allow me to strengthen my interpersonal skills. The first module “Converse with Confidence” taught me to converse better with others. As mentioned previously, I am not very confident with speaking in public so I hope this would help me to gain more self-awareness and hone my skills on communicating effectively. The module has taught me to be truthful, observe and identify appropriate time to share relevant information as well as the topics we could use for small talks. Additionally, I learned how to manage differences in small group discussions using the 4 Cs. Although the information provided was comprehensive, I did not score full marks for some of the activities but I was able to review the answer

Reflection on Interpersonal Communication

Dear Brad, I would be sharing about an interpersonal communication problem that occurred when I was working in an events management company. This incident happened when I was planning my first event. I had to plan an event consisting of an exhibition, seminars and classes to teach seniors how to use mobile phones and tablets. I would have to take charge of many different segments such as goodie bags, handling of tablets and phones, liaising with sponsors and client and logistics matters. When the event was passed on to me, I requested for an updated count of all the goodie bag items as well as the logistics list from my operations colleague, who will be named Eric due to confidentiality issues. Nearing the date of the event, the client emailed asking about the current count of the goodie bag items and I provided the updated numbers according to the list given by Eric. However, the client called immediately after and sounded annoyed as that was not the number c
