Johari Window

Tools

The facilitator explains the activity and purpose of it.
Each participant is asked to get a piece of paper and draw the Johari Window.
The open area is for what you know about yourself and are happy to share with others, e.g. telling someone about the strengths you bring to your job / strengths you have in an educational setting.
The blind area covers what others know about you, but of which you are not aware of, e.g. Someone might think you are great at problem-solving.
The hidden area is what you know about yourself, but prefer other people not to know, e.g. weaknesses that you feel you have such as a lack of confidence.
The unknown area represents aspects that are yet unknown to anyone e.g. Hidden talents or abilities that have not been brought to the surface.
Encourage participants to write a few things in each box and think about qualities/knowledge/skills that can be included. The adjectives to pick from can be found below:

The diagram should look like the image above, with four headings as shown and have space to write a few things in each box.
Try to identify at least as many positive qualities/skills as those you are less confident about.
