  1. Hi, My name is Alex Borders, and I'm here to
  2. talk about the personal SWAT analysis that I've developed throughout
  3. the course of this semester.
  4. First, to quote, education is the most powerful weapon which
  5. we can use to change the world.
  6. Some of the strengths that I've identified throughout this year
  7. is that I am a kinesthetic intelligence personality.
  8. Now, this is something that I am very strong in,
  9. and it basically means that I learned by doing things
  10. and by being hands on and understanding this has actually
  11. helped me develop some my weaknesses and understand them better
  12. as well.
  13. Next is that I'm high in leadership and intuition.
  14. I've always known that I was high in leadership skills,
  15. but I didn't always truly trust my intuition to put
  16. those skills into practice.
  17. Over the course of this semester, I really understood that
  18. I do have these leadership skills, and I need to
  19. trust myself more next that I'm high in persuasion.
  20. I've always been good at using facts and logic to
  21. convince people of my opinion.
  22. Um, it's something that I take pride in, but it's
  23. also something that can have its downsides, which we'll talk
  24. about later.
  25. Next. I'm high in self and social awareness.
  26. I've always known that I could critique myself better than
  27. almost anyone else but the social awareness part of it.
  28. I tend to score on very highly, but it's really
  29. something that I've been developing over the past few years
  30. next to my weaknesses.
  31. So the first weakness that I've identified is that I'm
  32. low and empathy, um, kind of on the opposite side
  33. of being high and persuasion.
  34. I don't tend to take people's opinions or their emotions
  35. into account.
  36. And it's something where if I want to be in
  37. a leadership position, I need to be able to talk
  38. to everyone and empathize with them next time.
  39. Loan assertiveness.
  40. I don't always put myself forward as the leader, and
  41. that can play into why I haven't had a lot
  42. of leadership positions in the past.
  43. But it's something that I've really been working on, and
  44. I've understood better because of this class.
  45. Next, I'm not a great active listener.
  46. I'm good at making people feel like they're being listened
  47. to, but I'm not always good at following through with
  48. it. That's something that I didn't fully understand until I
  49. broke it down more, and now it's something that I
  50. really know I need to work on next.
  51. I'm low and self management.
  52. This one was not surprised.
  53. I've always been bad at managing thing, managing my own
  54. time because I'll give it away to others so quickly.
  55. But it is something where you have to.
  56. I have to understand if I want to manage other
  57. people, I have to feel to manage myself first, next
  58. to the opportunities.
  59. So the first opportunity facing me is that my current
  60. position that's working president or UCF is a very high
  61. potential for development.
  62. Um, I'm in a leadership position where I have to
  63. consistently have people look towards me for guidance and information,
  64. and it's been very helpful in my own development.
  65. Next, I have a lot of opportunity right now.
  66. Develop strong mental relationships.
  67. Um, one of my supervisors and an executive director, I,
  68. UCF, are both people would like to develop relationships with
  69. and developmental relationships with, and be able to push those
  70. beyond just the job or the class and have them
  71. continue for a long time.
  72. Next, I'm interested in a growing market segment, specifically the
  73. firearms market.
  74. Um, As you can see, it's been growing consistently by
  75. 2.5% each year for the past two decades, which is
  76. significant compared to a lot of other market segments.
  77. Um, it does spike due to specific events, but consistently
  78. it has been growing something that I think has a
  79. lot of potential in it.
  80. Next for the threats.
  81. Her story is that this market is under heavy public
  82. and government scrutiny.
  83. Around 60% of Americans believe there should be higher, um,
  84. higher gun laws or more strict gun laws.
  85. Um, something that I think more education would potentially able
  86. to help.
  87. But going into this market, you have to understand that
  88. this is could be a threat, and it may not
  89. be a market segment that's around for a long time.
  90. Next is that the industry itself.
  91. It's not consistent.
  92. You have to be careful of what businesses you get
  93. involved with because not all of this is present themselves
  94. in a way that is beneficial to not only the
  95. country but also the market itself.
  96. Next that potentially the market segments are nearing the flooding
  97. point holsters or a good example of this that there
  98. were tons of holster companies that came out of the
  99. woodworks in the past 10 years, and a lot of
  100. them died off because they didn't know how to carve
  101. out their own segment of this growing market.
  102. In conclusion, um, this analysis has really helped me understand
  103. my strength and be willing to implement them as well
  104. as discover some new weaknesses and be able to present
  105. them in a way or look at them in a
  106. way that could be a development and not just a
  107. weakness. I think that the market that I'm looking for
  108. has some great opportunities.
  109. But it does have some failures.
  110. That and some threats that air potentially not so great.
  111. So with that, thank you.
