What I’ve learned from analyzing my Strengths:

After a great introspection and looking at what I have managed to do in the past, I have realized that I
have capabilities that I have under-utilize towards my personal growth professionally and academically

What I’ve learned from analyzing my Weaknesses:

The over committed and available mentality to my friends, workmates has not brought any positive
contribution to me personally. It has drained me and I need to take a step back and allow people to find
their way out in situations sometimes. I need to make sure I have enough rest to’ re-charge my
batteries’

What I’ve learned from analyzing my Opportunities:

A lot is at my disposal to go out and exploit and grow. The connections and acquaintance I have need to
be utilized so to be successful.

What I’ve learned from analyzing my Threats:

Situation out there is not always easy, you may not have control of other things happening around you
in life, but I have to be ready to face the challenges head on and try to make a living

What I’ve learned from doing this analysis? (Include self-reflection that shows you have learned
something from the assignment.)

As a human being, I have a full circle of things that need to be carefully sorted accordingly (SWOT), so to
then have a proper plan in life. There is no way you can be successfully without proper planning. Your
goals, objectives need to be SMART and for them to be smart, you need to know your strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities and threats.

How I might use this information going forward? (Include self-reflection that shows you have learned
something from the assignment.)

This has opened my mind on how basic things need to be done in the first place. Before embarking on
any project or initiative, I will make your I SWOT the situation first. This will enable me to then size up
the balance of scale and check the odds if they are on me or against.

I have the idea of doing our own fire suppression system at the two airports, so to save cost. I will utililze
the good relationship I have with middle management and sell my ideas. I have to mention that since I
have also a good understanding with my skilled staff they will back me up when they need to do the
servicing, without saying its extra work.
