The Johari Window: A life coaching tool

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.
