This document summarizes a self-awareness workshop that included exercises on understanding oneself, self-esteem, and effective group processes. Participants introduced themselves and discussed qualities of self-managed individuals. Exercises explored self-awareness using questionnaires and the Johari window model of personal awareness. The group also took part in a survival simulation ranking necessary items and reflecting on roles within the team. The workshop aimed to help participants develop greater self-awareness, establish goals, and improve their effectiveness through ongoing introspection.

9. WHAT IS THE JOHARI WINDOW?
The Johari Window is a communication model that can be used to
improve understanding between individuals.
Developed by Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham (the word Johari comes
from Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham).
10. TWO KEY IDEAS BEHIND THE TOOL:
Individuals can build trust between themselves by disclosing
information about themselves.
They can learn about themselves and come to terms with personal
issues with the help of feedback from others.
11. HOW DOES IT WORK?
Using the Johari model, each person is represented by their own
four-quadrant, or four-pane, window. Each of these contains and
represents personal information - feelings, motivation - about the
person, and shows whether the information is known or not known
by themselves or other people.
13. THE FOUR QUADRANTS ARE:
Quadrant 1: Open Area
What is known by the person about him/herself and is also known by others.
14. Quadrant 2: Blind Area, or "Blind Spot"
What is unknown by the person about him/herself but which others know.
This can be simple information, or can involve deep issues (for example, feelings of
inadequacy, incompetence, unworthiness, rejection) which are difficult for
individuals to face directly, and yet can be seen by others.
15. Quadrant 3: Hidden or Avoided Area
What the person knows about him/herself that others do not.
16. Quadrant 4: Unknown Area
What is unknown by the person about him/herself and is also unknown by others.
19. EXERCISE: SELF-CONFIDENCE
My Strengths
Things I cant change about me
Challenges to my self-confidence
Barriers to change
Group discussion discuss strengths and challenges
