Problems solving can come in a lot of different forms like solving other’s issues or even your own , however the definition of problems can be different to every individual. 

One skill I've always had is the desire to help other people out when needed , even if it’s just sharing my knowledge on that specific topic even if it just showing one of my peers how to use teams to join our lectures and seminars. When problem solving my skill of self-awareness comes into action as well as I have to keep my stress level controlled at all times as I truly believe staying in control of your feelings is the first step of successfully problem solving.
However, there still is the analytical problem solving that I still find myself struggling with in the sense of researching investigating and applying that knowledge to solve. Which I do think will come with time in a corporate environment.

Cambridge English Dictionary 
A lot of people may struggle with public speaking due to being terrified of what their audience opinions may be. However, public speaking to me has hardly been a skill that I have lacked on , which I think has come from my confidence skills as well as my communication skills as to me public speaking is the combination of both. 
Based on my previous teachers exam feedback , I was able to express my point clearly enough to my audience at the time and interact professionally to achieve my main goal of showing my analysis of work. However , they also recommended for me to work on my hand gestures as i tend to use them excessively which can be a distraction to my audience.

Making SMART goals has never been an issue for me however reaching or prioritising that goal is where I struggle as well as having the right habits.
an example of a bad habit of mine  is going to sleep really late at night therefore the next day I wake up late and lack on energy for the day, and I am in the same cycle everyday of wasting my day. In the time I am sleeping during the day I could have been working on myself and goals , this always makes me very tired and weak during the day restricting what I want to do. 
However , this is something I can improve on with my self-awareness skill as well as my time management , by calculating my day correctly therefore I am tired enough to sleep early so I can fit more in a day.

improve my essay writing is by expanding my knowledge of different English words , as I know the very basic words which makes my work very simple and
plain. I am able to dothis through the resources that my university offer me like one-to-one tutoring
, as well as self-taught lessons . 
Which I am lookingto start in the near future. Essay writing is a skill I have only recently come
across in this undergraduate course as I have never used it before , so I believe I will slowly improve during my time in this course.

I am the type of person that goes for the first source of information instead  of researching thoroughly , this has become an issue for me in this undergraduate course. however , I have to come to realise researching and investigating is only expanding your knowledge in that specific topic, this is interests me as one of my main goals to to expand my knowledge as much as possible , and one way of doing this is learning how to research and investigate properly.

I've always thought communication is a skill that is very difficult to measure and analyse yourself on. However , after many years I have realised my verbal communication skills have improved while working in a corporate environment as I learnt how to communicate formally but also respectfully in the sense of listening and reflecting then communicating in the way you think is correct. Although, my written communication still needs a lot of work , it's a skill I have always struggled with , as I find it difficult to communicate well with words as a big part of me verbally communicating well is by my body language and tone of voice as well as actions , so trying to communicate exactly how I would like to in written form doesn't always come across correctly. This means I struggle with accepting other people's feelings towards how I came across. Most of MY references from my previous jobs would agree with my reflection on communication as I mention below , my verbal communication is my strongest type out of them all.

"Self-awareness is the conscious knowledge of one's own character and feelings." 
Oxford dictionary 

Self-awareness is another skill that is hard to measure on others and yourself. as it's based on your own feelings which are able to change very quickly.
An issue I have come across in analysing my self-awareness skill is how quickly my mood or feelings can affect the people around me , which is still something I am trying to work on in my personal and corporate life. Using a corporate environment as an example , my mood can affect how I came across to the customer and how I deliver my service , which can result to a poor performance on my behalf as well as risking my job. 
 Due to my own self-discipline , I am conscious of my feelings and actions which is the first step of improving yourself or a skill ; being able to give yourself critical feedback is very important when it comes to improving or working on a personal skill , this will be able to assist me on reaching my end of goal.

Relating to my personal skills I feel like I need a big improvement on very specific skills like time management and written skills to be able to be in a good mindset for my future career.

Using my verbal communication skills I will be able to communicate well with the customers and delivering a good customer service , this will also include problem solving and my desire to help others. this will be an advantage to myself in the industry as I would be able to the customers satisfied and create my own professional character to the senior staff in the company. Being able to work as a team successfully is a big part of the tourism especially the airline industry as they are in charge of all their customers safety and need to do so as a team effectively. Self-awareness also works well in this industry as you need to be aware of how you are delivering your service , therefore I will need to improve my self-awareness skill so I can work successfully in my next job in the industry. I will be doing this by trying my hardest not to bring my feelings and moods into my professional environment.

As I feel like in a corporate environment I need professional skills as well as soft skills you use everyday. These hard skills would help me stand out compared to  the other candidates that may possibly lack in them. Hard skills would help me build a professional portfolio to the senior staff hiring me or working with me as it will show I am well rounded candidate. One of the main reasons for customer loyalty is their experience with the worker and company if I am able to show i can bring customer loyalty to the company by how I sell the service, I would show that I can be considered as a strong worker.

I have discussed how my written and research/investigating skills are not well-established and have a lot of room for improvement, although abilities related to communication and public speaking capability are well established with a little room for improvement.
I have also demonstrated how I can transfer these skills into the tourism industry as well as recommendations and build my professional portfolio for my future career in the industry. This skills audit has been very important to my future character or career as I have had to reflect on myself as well as what is needed currently and overall ,
in the industry for me to be successful.
