Season 2, Episode 11: Essential Skills: The Personal SWOT Analysis

After exploring the SWOT analysis as a business tool, this episode of the Essential Skills series brings it home. Dark Cancer provides a step-by-step guide to conducting a Personal SWOT Analysis—a powerful framework for self-assessment, career planning, and achieving your most important goals.

This isn't just a business exercise; it's a way to get an honest, all-around view of your life. The host walks you through the entire process, explaining how to identify the internal and external factors that are helping and hindering you.

This is your guide to personal strategic planning, covering:

  • The SWOT Process: A 5-step guide to identifying your goals and analyzing your position.
  • Strengths & Weaknesses (Internal): How to assess your personal skills, knowledge, and resources.
  • Opportunities & Threats (External): How to identify the outside forces that could impact your success.
  • The Power of Feedback: Why getting an outside perspective from friends, family, or colleagues can make your analysis even more powerful.
  • The Final Step: How to review and prioritize your findings to create an actionable plan.
