This is a 8 page workbook that introduces the topic of the Johari Window. This is a widely used model for understanding and training in a variety of self-awareness dependent activities such as: personal development, communications, interpersonal relationships, group dynamics, team development and inter-group relationships.

A worksheet is included for participants to gain insights into the different quadrants and where they fit within these. ** Leave a review for this resource and receive one free resource of your choice from my shop.
