Power and vulnerability garden
TYPE: SELF JOURNALING; ORACLE CARDS
A SWOT analysis is a tool that usually compiles a team, organisation or project’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. This activity, inspired by the SWOT, is more personal. It is a reflection activity for co-leads to complete individually.
EXPLORE AN INDIVIDUAL’S:
Superpowers (what are your strengths and skills?)
Vulnerabilities (What might be your weaknesses or areas for improvement?)
Hopes and dreams (what positive change are you hoping to see and experience with the co-leadership model and relationship?)
Fears and worries (What concerns you about the co-leadership model and relationship?).
There is no expectation to share this with your co-lead, though you are welcome to do so.
Option 1
Once you have filled out your quadrant, randomly place 1-2 cards in each quadrant.
Consider the superpowers, vulnerabilities, hopes and fears of each card
The animals, plants and landscapes cards will work well for this, more so than flavours, "facts" and symbols.
Option 2
After filling in the quadrants, look through the cards and draw ones that resonate with what you have written.
What are the characteristics of particular animals, plants or landscapes that relate to your superpowers, vulnerabilities, hopes and fears?
The animals, plants and landscapes cards will work well for this, more so than flavours, "facts" and symbols.
