1. Leadership and Team-working Skills
2. Adaptability

Even though I am only a participant in this event, I still have a role to attentive listen to the speakers and take notes of what to be aware of during my admission into UTM and improvements to be made towards my planning skills.

The justification of me joining the session is because I want to broaden my horizon with UTM’s culture and plan my activities post COVID-19 pandemic. The speakers are the principal of KTDI, Lt Kol Prof. Madya Dr. Mohd Noor Azli Bin Hj. Ali Khan and a member of the council of Fellow, Dr. Mohd Akmali Bin Mokther.

The graduate attribute focused on this event is leadership and team working skills and adaptability. The event mainly introduces participants to KTDI UTM and discuss on the plan to recuperate the post COVID-19 pandemic. Leadership, team-working and adaptability can be seen throughout the session as Dr. Azli explain what he has planned for and implemented in KTDI.

The flow of event consists of Dr. Azli introducing the council of fellow and himself to the participant, briefing on the activities planned for the KTDI residents and past accomplishments and events and Dr. Akmali explaining the methods of recuperating post COVID-19 pandemic. QNA sessions are held at the end of both speakers’ talk to clarify any misunderstanding that may arise throughout the session.

The event effect on my leadership and team-working and adaptability is quite major as I am able to learn about how a Dr Azli lead his team of colleagues as a principal of KTDI and make his college dormitory thrive before and even during the COVID-19 pandemic. I also learned a lot from Dr Akmali as he shares his thought on how to handle matters post COVID-19 pandemic such as adapting to the new norm, moving forward even losing something important to you and many more.

The advantage of me participating in this event is that I am able to gain insight on how to plan out my activities even in a difficult situation. The knowledge that I also able to take out from this event is the methods of planning for the long term which are include how does a leader plan measures to overcome unforeseen problems, moving forward despite oversight in the planning and simply consulting experts to evaluate the effectiveness of one’s planning.

The challenge I faced is my dedication of sticking to the plans I made. I tend to wander off course when I am moving with my life and maybe get thrown off course when I am unable to proceed with my plan. To overcome this, I try to learn how to space out my plans for working more separately and dedicate some resting period in between my plans to motivate myself in finishing the activities I planned out. I also try to utilize other people’s input on my planning to gauge my understanding of proper planning. I also try adapting to the plans I made if I really cannot follow along with it.
