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.
I use this as a team building exercise, particularly when teams need to build trust so that they can move to a high performing phase. It is also beneficial to find out more about yourself and how others see you generally.
A worksheet is included for participants to gain insights into the different quadrants and where they fit within these.
