After the completing the Self-Perception Project with my mom and friends, I have come away with a clearer understanding of the importance of a tool such as this. I am a second year student at Miami- Dade College and I currently work at United Parcel Service (UPS) as a management person. At the beginning of my second year this semester, there were a lot of uncertainty with regards to what is expected of me and setting goals with clear map for learning. I decided to major in business administration which has really help me with taking responsibility for all the mishaps of my fist year in the college. My starting point is my beliefs, based on reflection on my own personal and professional development as a management person. My two grids are both inextricably connected, and reflecting on it is an essential part of learning that is vital for effective learning that allows me to be honest with myself about my insecurities in professional. Using the Johari Window as basis of my level of openness, I most likely belong between the “open-receptive person” and the “pumper.” My level of openness depends on the person I encounter. I am very much transparent around the people whom I am comfortable with, such as my family and a few trusted friends. They know me very well that I do not have to pretend or hide anything from them. It’s not the same however, with the people I don’t know very well, who are just merely acquaintances. Of course you don’t want to pour your heart out to people whom you don’t know very well. There are limitations. Openness can range from very little to complete one. It varies from situation to situation. My level of openness is definitely something I need to work on if I wish to succeed as a manager with UPS. I have come to this conclusion by reading the Johari window article which has made me think more in depth about the person I am and how it affects others perception
