The Johari Window: A life coaching tool

Image credit: underside.wordpress.com

The Johari Window is a concept created by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham in 1955. Soon after, it became one of the most widely used tools for self-awareness, personal motivation, and personal advancement. Anyone, including personal and business coaches, can use this tool for self-assessment.

Like any other model, the Johari Window is intuitive and simple to understand, making it easy for coaches to use. It helps them to push their boundaries to become open, share more, and ultimately seek honest feedback from others. They can also discover things they didn’t know they have and use these bits of information in any form of communication, especially when they want to persuade people.

Benefit on clients

As life coaches like T. Harv Eker, Bob Doyle, and Marc Accetta see the scams and ruts of life as challenges and use them as tools to help others, they can make good use of the Johari Window model. This is possible by teaching their clients the importance of self-disclosure, and showing how others’ feedback can help them grow, both personally and professionally.

The Johari Window-based assessment for coaches is not only a perfect way to look into their strengths and weaknesses in coaching, but also a great method of understanding and leading others to life improvement.

But life coaches say this happens every now and then.

Slumps, downturns, disappointments—or whatever you call them these days—are unique reminders that there’s still room for fresh beginnings. All you have to do is to be patient, even as you do something about them. One way of dealing with these negative events is participating in life coaching. Here are some of the well-respected life coaches and their means of helping their clients walk out of bad experiences:

Becoming a master communicator by leveraging the knowledge of personalities

Image Credit: Lens.Auckland.ac.nz

Marc Accetta’s personality test was specifically designed to help individuals become better communicators. The premise is basic: by knowing how one’s personal temperament interacts with another, an individual can manipulate his or her communication strategies to adapt to that of the receiver’s personality. That way, the receiver can openly accept the message with minimal to nil reservations.

For example, people with ‘red’ personalities are usually aggressive and over-achieving, thus leading them to assert their leadership and ideals over their subordinates. Their personalities are in stark contrast with that of those in the ‘blue’ category who are generally laidback, fun-loving, and fun-oriented. Although there are points at which they agree with each other, this seemingly mild clash might result in a large-scale rift in some situations.

Conversely, if the ‘red’ leader adapts his or her ways to cater to the usually acquiescent ‘blue,’ he or she could able to command a whole army of people with the latter personality. As long as ‘red’ leaders exhibit a resilient façade coupled with an ostentatious display of high caliber personal skills, then getting ‘blue’ people to follow them should come effortlessly.

Communication is a two-way process. Successful communication is not so much a result of intensive navel-gazing but more of a significant amount of give-and-take. One’s own personality should not bind; but rather, it should liberate the self to reach out to everyone else’s.

Interpreting the colors, unveiling personalities

Image credit: ulticomputer.com

As previously mentioned in this blog, psychologists have devised tests by which different people’s personalities may be compartmentalized into at least four categories. One such example is Marc Accetta’s personality test, which assigns a color for each personality group: blue, green, red, and yellow.

According to the Accetta’s personality test, each color group typifies a unique temperament described as follows:

• Blue. Fun-loving, bright, spontaneous, and generally jovial, ‘blue’ people are the type that “lives for the moment.” They are extremely sociable and outgoing and like to be out in the sun. They prefer to follow strong leaderships and are willing to cooperate as long as they get treated nicely. On the downside, they tend to be forgetful and are usually not mindful of their time. Due to their spontaneity, they are impulsive buyers and as a result, spend their money freely. People under this category are also travelers and adventurers

• Green. People in this category are rational and calculated thinkers. They try to research exhaustively before deciding on something and refrain from making rash decisions. They are natural cynics and are usually skeptical of other people’s motives; probably because they do not trust their intuition as much as established facts. As a result, they are very realistic and they possess a proclivity toward prejudging people. They are also systematic and pedantic, sometimes necessitating guidelines by which they can abide to. They are also notorious for being emotionally detached.

Image credit: toomuchawesome.blogspot.com

• Red. Confident, challenge-oriented, competitive—these are probably the three most appropriate adjectives to describe ‘red’ individuals. They tend to hang out with fellow achievers, despite their many insecurities and their strong desire for approval. They are also known for being good decision-makers. On the other hand, they can be short with people and prefer to be in the VIP section. This does not make them particularly good team players.

Image credit: sofeminine.co.uk

• Yellow. Easily the most personable among the four types, ‘yellow’ types are extremely loyal and are very good team players. They value honesty and integrity and are very family-oriented. This is largely the reason why they prefer to follow ethical leaders. They love all forms of life and are very environmentally conscious, thus making them great outdoorspeople. They try to avoid conflicts and confrontations as much as possible and usually take on the role of a peacemaker in dire situations. They love to support charities and other worthy causes, thus impelling them to dislike greedy and materialistic people. They are also creative, expressive, and unpretentious.

Unleashing life and taking it for a ride

Image Credit: bb.blogspot.com

Is your life too boring for you? Do you, like countless others, wake up at 7 a.m. every day, eat breakfast, go to work for 8 to 9 hours, and then go home and sleep just so you could do the same thing over and over again for the next 30 to 40 years of your life?

Your life is like clockwork, existing just for the sake of one thing—working and earning your way to retirement. You meet Moe, your friend from work. You see him beaming, and he always has stories about his life that make yours feel like a somber, boring lecture. You wonder why his life is so different from yours when you are both working as pencil pushers in a boring accounting firm.

Image Credit: bestdemotivationalposters.com

This is because Moe has done something you haven’t: He unleashed his life

Unlike you, Moe bikes to work so he can exercise, plays video games for a couple of hours each day with his kids to relieve stress, helps out at the homeless shelter on weekends, takes out his wife for dinner and a movie on a regular basis, goes hunting with his like-minded buddies every month, and takes his family for an out-of-country trip every year.

Image Credit: breakthroughlifecoach.org

Unlike you, Moe knows that life is fleeting, so for every moment that passes by, he creates memories that will last him a lifetime. Life coaches, like Marc Accetta, know that by unleashing your life, you stop being just a spectator of your own life and start being the bull rider who takes it for a ride.

Personalities—they come in fours

Image Credit: ScienceTodayMagazine.com

After psychologists first tried to draft crude versions of personality tests back in the 1920s, the practice of using standardized instruments to reveal aspects of an individual’s psychological makeup has since then become the norm. This gave rise to a plethora of tests that aim to unveil several aspects of one’s personality.

 Considering the innumerable idiosyncrasies of each person that have lived, are living, and will still live on Earth, the very idea that all of these may be compartmentalized in a limited personality test of sorts seems daft at the very least. However, this simplification has paved the way for countless of individuals to straightforwardly discover their natural propensities, helping them understand themselves better and communicate with other people more effectively.

Image Credit: greekmedicine.net

On a tangential note, four quadrant personality tests are very common. This practice goes back as far as 340 BC, with Plato developing the concept of the four basic personality types. He called the groups choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic, and melancholy.

Since then, a number of people have developed their own version of Plato’s four-quadrant personality groups. David Keirsey’s Temperament Sorter is widely used in schools and workplaces to assess individual, teamwork, and organizational analyses. The DISC test" is most commonly used by Fortune 500 companies in determining the impact of dominance, influence, steadiness, and compliance factors in predicting personal behavior towards others. Marc Accetta’s personality test is also popular among aspiring speakers who want to improve their communication skills by leveraging the strengths of their respective personalities.

 Although individuals can use these personality types as a model for their actions and decisions, they must not restrict themselves to act only within the confines of their purported personalities. On the contrary, they must seek to expand their horizons—further reinforcing their strengths and constantly improving on their weaknesses.

Marc Accetta Image Credit: bigthinkingblog.com

Marc Accetta has spent his career telling clients that they can reach their goals with proper attitude. The long-time life and career coach is known for the smart, workable pointers he imparts on his protégées, but at the end of the day, it is all about the final objective—the culmination of hard work and big dreams transformed into reality.

The level of motivation among people varies. Some need more encouragement than others, while some plod on, resisting outside help until they can no longer deny the need for it. There are opportunities that seem so big and overwhelming that pushing forward in the pursuit of such appears to be a daunting task.

Marc Accetta: Out of the ordinary comes a renowned life coach

"Winning isn't everything, but making the effort to win is."— Vince Lombardi


 

Marc Accetta Image Credit: marcaccetta.com

Renowned life coach and public speaker Marc Accetta did not make a name for himself overnight. Before he started “edutaining” his listeners and gaining recognition for his work, Mr. Accetta was initially a student of what he currently teaches. “I did not grow up with a high level of self-confidence or self-esteem,” he confessed.

Marc Accetta Image Credit: ellengable.files.wordpress.com

Guided by the words of Lombardi, he used his burning desire to better himself by putting it into action. He started developing his skills and improving his knowledge by reading books, learning from the people he met, and attending seminars. His efforts yielded brimming results not just for himself, but also for the people he encountered and helped. He ultimately developed a love for sharing the things he learned. “I realized that achieving success in my own life was not enough for me,” Marc Accetta added.

Be an abundance thinker: Marc Accetta on getting rid of the scarcity mentality

For a long time, people have been asking one important question: what is the key to a prosperous life? For motivational speaker Marc Accetta, it is living a life that is driven by the will to share your blessings to others.

Marc Accetta Image Credit: Otisfundraisingideas.com

In one of the episodes of The Power of One, Mr. Accetta discussed the difference between being an abundance thinker and having a scarcity mentality. He says that people with scarcity mentality are “very self-centered and greedy” or “don’t believe that there are going to be enough for [them].” Mr. Accetta himself admits that he had this mentality for a while. “That’s the way I was for years,” the life coach reveals. Even though he was taught to share his blessings with other people, Marc Accetta found it a challenge to get rid of such mentality.

Marc Accetta Image Credit: Salesbenchmarkindex.com

But he reminds his listeners that having this kind of thinking will not improve their lives. For him, what people should develop is abundance mentality -- always thinking of having enough resources to give part of it to other people or to the church.


Mr. Accetta believes that when people share their wealth to others, it is like saying “I believe that there’s a lot more coming in.” This, for him, is the right attitude in life.

Marc Accetta Image Credit: Thegreatnessmind.com

“Ever since I started thinking that way, things changed dramatically in my life,” Marc shares, adding that he also believes that everything a person gives comes back to him tenfold.

Marc Accetta: Scams of fate and the pathways to success

Marc Accetta. Image Credit: marcaccetta.com

Many years ago, the future seemed blurred for Marc Accetta. Like a scam of fate, he felt life’s challenges derail all his hopes for personal achievements.

Accetta graduated from Seton Hall University in 1982 with a vague idea on the career path he would take. Save for his degree in political science, he just felt he had nothing. At the urging of his friend, he reluctantly forayed into the sales industry and immediately made waves at direct selling, recruitment, management, and eventually, training. But beyond all his achievements, he found his real calling in motivating people to succeed.

Buoyed up by the thought that he can guide people in achieving what they want in life, he founded his own coaching firms. Life just turned out not too clever enough for a determined man like Marc Accetta. Those scams of fate and trials in life he had to face backed off like shadows at the brilliant spark of his talent.

Now a popular success coach, Accetta helps people discover their own strengths and attain personal growth. Interestingly, the man who once admitted that he “did not grow up with a high level of self-confidence or self-esteem,” is now addressing thousands of people in one setting—compelling them to summon their own strengths to succeed.
