Understanding yourself and others - Johari Window Model Workbook / Lesson

(0)
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. ** Leave a review for this resource and receive one free resource of your choice from my shop.

These forms cover Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Outlook as well as a basic users form. When planning computer training it is essential to have an idea of the skill level of participants. You can hand out or email these forms to learners before or during a session. They simply fill them out and return them. You can then use the information to split up groups into appropriate skill levels or just for general content planning for the session. I have also included a Feedback form that can be used to hand out after the session. They are in Word format so that you can easily remove or add any of the skills.
