What is Johari?
Johari window model was developed in 1955 by American psychologists Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham. It is important to know that this model is used to as feedback/disclosure model of self-awareness. Also, this model is based on two ideas. Trust can be acquired by revealing information about you to others and learning yourselves from their feedbacks. The model is divided into four quadrants, which are labeled as open, blind, hidden, and unknown. Each section signifies personal information, feelings, motivation, etc. In this paper I am going to enlighten my readers about the importance of truly becoming aware of one’s actions. I hope to gain knowledge on how to have an open mind when it comes to feedback because I can be very stubborn …show more content…
As stated before, I am an only child from my mom side and at that time, I only had two siblings that I do not have a relationship with on my dad’s side. I’ve always wanted that sibling bond that I see other people have. Although I am a strong believer in the power of prayer, I prayed constantly for a sibling but never really was expecting it. I figured my parents were already too old to be making kids. Months after I started having the weirdest dreams. I realized when I go to sleep with something on my mind, I do end up dreaming about it. At first I didn’t really pay attention to my dreams until I kept having the same dreams over and over again. One time I was throwing up in my dreams, but my vomit was so acidic that the toilet was melting. I dreamt about me throwing up almost every night. I was also going back and forth to the hospital so I figured that was because I was worried about my health. I also dreamt about fishes constantly. To make a long story short, my dad called me on the phone on September 2014 and told me his girlfriend is 7 months pregnant. Although my dad didn’t tell me the sex of the baby, I knew it was a boy. When I came off the phone, I just looked up to the sky and smile because I knew, although I had my doubts, God showed me nothing is impossible. Two months later, my healthy baby brother was born on November 2014, weighing 10 pounds. I truly believe my dreams were trying to tell me something …show more content…
I learned that this exercise can actually help one to develop their social skills and fill any type of communication gap. I see the Johari Window as a critical thinking exercise. With this assignment, I actually had to brainstorm, because it showed me that no matter how much we think we know ourselves, there are equal the amount of things that we are unaware of. I liked how the Johari window helped me to be aware of my abilities and showed me my strengths and weaknesses. I also learned how to build trust by disclosing information about myself. I learned that feedback is meant to help me and not discourage me. We should use feedback as an outline for helping you improve yourself. Overall, the biggest lesson I learned was that I shouldn’t allow myself to fall into a comfort zone because sometime your comfort zone limits you from exceeding and pushing boundaries. Pushing past your comfort zone is very critical in helping you to grow as a
