Personal SWOT Analysis Reflection

Angela Simpson completed a SWOT analysis that identified her strengths as effective communication, listening skills, openly expressing herself, and maintaining composure despite personal problems. Her weaknesses included overly criticizing herself, procrastinating, having a poor attitude at times, and coming across negatively unintentionally. Opportunities lay in utilizing her tax certification, volunteering at an accounting firm, and using her communication skills. Threats included focusing too much on negatives, procrastination impacting leadership, her youth being an issue, and self-criticism controlling her thoughts. The most interesting part for her was analyzing weaknesses and realizing some could become threats if not addressed.

Reflection: Write a one-paragraph reflection on what was most interesting to you in the SWOT analysis.
I enjoyed completing the SWOT analysis, it helped me dig deep to explore the four areas about myself
that I never really think about. Weakness was the most interesting to me because when I am asked
about my weaknesses, I always give the same generic answers. The SWOT analysis made me realize how
some of my weaknesses can be a threat as well. After realizing this, it made me instantly think about
how I can work on my weaknesses so that they are not a threat. The SWOT analysis also helped me to
understand that no one is perfect and we all have some good areas and some bad areas.
