Reminder of the Johari window and its quadrants:

Open: Things you know about yourself that others also know.

Hidden: Things you know about yourself that are unknown to others.

Blind: Things others know about you of which you’re unaware.

Unknown: Things unknown to you and unknown to others.

This framework can be applied to ourselves, but it can also be applied to the work we do.

What happens when the window’s proportions change? Or when we shift elements to the open quadrant? Or when we dive into those other three quadrants to see what we can discover, or to connect more deeply with others?

A shift in the quadrants could be the herald of significant personal change.
