experienced.
Actual Self

Personal Effectiveness
-means making use of all
the personal resources
talents, skills, energy and
time, to enable you to
achieve life goals.
Self-Efficacy
-does not refer to your
abilities but rather to your
beliefs about what you can
do with your abilities.
Being self-aware, making the
most of your strengths,
learning new skills and
techniques and behavioral
flexibility are all keys to
improving your personal
performance.
Strengths
are natural capabilities and skills
that each person has.
You feel energized, higher self-
esteem, well-being, and other
desirable outcomes.
Our personal effectiveness
depends on our innate
characteristics - talent and
experience accumulated in
the process of personal
development.
Talents first are needed to be identified
and then developed to be used in a
particular subject area (science,
literature, sports, politics, etc.).
Experience includes knowledge and
skills that we acquire in the process of
cognitive and practical activities.
Knowledge is required for setting goals,
defining an action plan to achieve them and
risk assessment.
Skills also determine whether real actions
are performed in accordance with the plan.
If the same ability is used many times in the
same situation, then it becomes a habit that
runs automatically, subconsciously.
Classification of Skills
1. Determination
2. Self-Confidence
3. Persistence
4. Managing Stress
5. Problem-Solving Skills
6. Creativity
7. Generating Ideas
Self –Esteem
Belief and confidence in your own
ability and value.
Self Acceptance
the act of embracing yourself with
all of your positive and negative
traits, strengths and weaknesses,
without judgement.
Self-Awareness
Having a clear perception of
your personality, including
strengths, weaknesses,
thoughts, beliefs, motivation,
and emotions.
Johari Window
It is a technique to improve self-
awareness within an individual.
It helps to understand your relationship
with yourself and others.
It is a method for self-discovery.
It allows people to identify their
strengths, weaknesses, and blind spots.
The Four Regions/ Quadrants of Johari Window
Open Self
What others know about
you and you know too.
This is the public self.
Blind Self
What others know about you, but
you don’t.
The views that others have of us
may be different from those we
have of ourselves.
Hidden Self
What others don’t know about
you, but you do. It’s your secrets.
The private self- there are
often parts of our selves that are
too private to share with others.
Unknown Self
What others don’t know about you and
you don’t either.
The Undiscovered Self- it may include
good and bad things that may remain
forever undiscovered or may one day be
discovered.
Self-Awareness and Self-
Disclosure
Showing people who you are
requires self-awareness and
self-disclosure. The Johari
Window is effectively a lens on
your own self-awareness as on
self-disclosure.
