 SELF – ANALYSIS
Making the Most of Your Talents and
Opportunities
WHO 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- Example
STREGTHS
•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
students' and school growth and development.
OPPORTUNITIES
I'm going to attend a conference next month.
This will help me in developing 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.
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.
THREATS
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.
