What Matters Most is How You See Yourself

JOHARI WINDOWS The public area contains things that are openly known and talked about - and which may be seen as strengths or weaknesses.  This is the self that we choose to share with others The hidden area contains things that others observe that we don't know about.  Again, they could be positive or negative behaviours, and will affect the way that others act towards us. The unknown area contains things that nobody knows about us - including ourselves.  This may be because we've never exposed those areas of our personality, or because they're buried deep in the subconscious. The private area contains aspects of our self that we know about and keep hidden from others. The application of the Johari Window comes in opening up the public area, so making the other three areas as small as possible.  This is done by regular and honest exchange of feedback, and a willingness to disclose personal feelings.  People around you will understand what "makes you tick", and what you find easy or difficult to do, and can provide appropriate support.  And of course you can then do the same for them.
