My Personal Assets Map

This has been a great learning exercise for me as it is sometime difficult for individuals to somehow appreciate the skills that they possess. Also to note that your personal skills are not just your intellectual skills but also the organisations for example, my local church and other social groups that you are part of, the community that you are part of i.e. how you interact with, support and grow within, and also how you use these skills to empower and encourage others.

After working through this exercise, the above images/picture & places are a representation of what I consider to be some of my most personal assets.

The first image is that of my church. I am strong member of my church, here I meet some of the most terrific people in my life making great spiritual friends that make me see life differently I am part of the women ministry that support women and children in our community here in Addis Ababa, we pray together, laugh together and be there for each other in good times and in bad times.

I am a member of the church choir as you can see in image 2. We teach and learn new songs and sing during church services. I am a lead singer and I am not stage or mic shy in front of a large audience - some great personal skills I think?

Picture 3 is an image of a teacher teaching a computing class. I am very computer literate and have volunteered in many respect teaching basic computing skills to different charity organisations. I am planning setting up basic computer training classes for my church community and it is also part my plan as well to teach my community members how they can use basic computing (social media to run their small businesses)

Picture 4 is that of our first living room session on digital training in Addis Ababa where I brought together friends in my community to tell them about World Pulse. This was a great session attended by almost 20 women in my community. This is a great personal asset which I know that I have organising and bringing people together and passing on forth my idea.
