Personal SWOT

An adaptation of the classic SWOT framework for personal or professional development. Applied to an individual rather than an organisation: Strengths (what am I naturally good at?), Weaknesses (where do I hold myself back?), Opportunities (what external possibilities could I leverage?), Threats (what external factors could hinder me?). Powerful as a self-assessment before career conversations, development planning, or leadership transitions.

Cómo ejecutarlo

1
Distribute a SWOT template with four quadrants.
2
Participants complete each quadrant individually and honestly (15 minutes).
3
Strengths: specific skills, traits, and experiences that differentiate you.
4
Weaknesses: honest gaps, limiting beliefs, or development areas.
5
Opportunities: market trends, relationships, or circumstances you could leverage.
6
Threats: competition, skill gaps becoming obsolete, personal patterns that risk derailment.
7
Share in pairs: give and receive feedback on blind spots.
8
Identify 1–2 strategic priorities based on the analysis.

Consejos

Encourage specificity — 'good communicator' is too vague.
The Weaknesses quadrant is where people pull their punches most.
Consider asking trusted colleagues to fill in a SWOT about you and compare it with your self-assessment.

Variaciones

Run a 'Personal SWOT Speed Round' in pairs — each person completes the other's SWOT based on what they know, then compare. Use as a 360-feedback discussion starter.
