SELF – ANALYSIS Making the Most of Your Talents

and OpportunitiesWHO AM I? is the identity.

DO I MATTER? Is the importance

WHERE AM I? is the impact.

Self-awareness is a central characteristic of the successful professional. This effort really will enable you to track, with self-awareness, the skills you are developing throughout your career.

SELF ANALYSIS

You are most likely to succeed in life if you use your talents to their fullest extent. Similarly, you'll suffer fewer problems if you know what your weaknesses are, and if you manage these weaknesses so that they don't matter in the work you do.

SELF ANALYSIS THROUGH SWOT ANALYSIS

• SWOT stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. 

• Strengths and weaknesses are internal factors.

• Opportunities and threats are external factors.

What makes SWOT especially powerful is that,

with a little thought, it can help you uncover

opportunities that you would not otherwise

have spotted. And by understanding your

weaknesses, you can manage and eliminate

threats that might otherwise hurt your ability

to move forward.

If you look at yourself using the SWOT

framework, you can start to separate yourself

from your peers, and further develop the

specialized talents and abilities you need to

advance your career.

A Personal SWOT- ExampleSTREGTHS

•I'm very creative. I impress my students with a new angle on their attitudes

•I communicate well with my superior,collegues and students.

•I'm completely committed to the success of a student’s and school growth and development.

WEAKNESSES

•I have a strong, compulsive need to do things quickly and remove them from my "to do" list, and sometimes the quality of my work suffers as a result.

•This same need to get things done also causes me stress when I have too many tasks.

•I get nervous when presenting ideas , and this fear of public speaking often takes the passion out of my presentations.

OPPORTUNITIES

I'm going to attend a conference next month. This will help me in develop my knowledge and skills.

My principal asked me to organize a national level seminar. I think it would be a great opportunity to show my talent.

THREATS

Seeta, one of my colleagues, is a much stronger speaker than I am, and he's competing with me for the organizing secretary position.

Due to recent staff shortages, I'm often overworked, and this negatively impacts my creativity.

• SWOT Analysis is a simple but powerful framework for analyzing own Strengths and Weaknesses, and the Opportunities and Threats you face.

• This helps you to focus on your strengths, minimize threats, and take the greatest possible advantage of opportunities available to you.
