helpful for us individuals whether

on your life goals a personal SWOT
analysis can help you achieve your goals
it's a creative method of
self-assessment to help you assess where
your life or career is and where it
could go to conduct the personal SWOT
analysis ask yourself questions about
each of the four areas being examined
answer honestly
honesty is crucial or the analysis will
not generate meaningful results with
that in mind try to see yourself from
the standpoint of a colleague or a
bystander and view criticism with
objectivity don't limit yourself to the
strengths that you're currently
exhibiting in your life or in your job
list all of your strengths even the ones
that have been dormant for a while and
pay particular attention to the things
that you have that your peers don't how
are you different unique and special
[Music]
the next step is weaknesses this part
examines the areas in which you need to
improve and the things that will set you
back in your life and your career
for the opportunities section look at
the external factors that you can take
advantage of to pursue your goals and
dreams beat at work or beat in your life
[Music]
finally look at any threats to your
career or life growth this part takes
into account the external factors that
could hurt your chances to attain your
goals
[Music]
once you have filled out the matrix
there are two ways to analyze the
information and build a strategy
matching or converting matching means
connecting two of the categories to
determine a course of action for example
matching strengths to opportunities
shows you where to be Grissom and take
action on the other hand matching
weaknesses to threats exposes those
areas you should work on or situations
to avoid and lets you know where to be
more defensive of your position to
convert is to turn negatives into
positives in other words converting your
weaknesses into strengths or threads
into opportunities this can mean growing
a skill set through education or maybe
finding a creative way to feature a
weakness as a strength once the personal
SWOT analysis is completed it is crucial
to follow through on the insights you
uncovered SWOT analysis can fail to be
effective if it's simply treated as a
laundry list without any time to how the
elements identified in the analysis can
be put into play for example how can the
identified strengths move the needle in
the end ever to achieve a key goal or
how can one navigate a potential threat
once it is identified so as to ensure no
ground is lost the best outcome is to
take action and succeed in the
opportunities you have identified this
can benefit you on a personal and a
professional level and set you apart
from your peers and colleagues now there
are a variety of SWOT templates out on
the internet but if you'd like a copy of
the template that I use personally along
with the personal example and the
comprehensive list of questions that you
could ask yourself in each of the
quadrants do leave a comment with your
email address and I'll email them out to
