The Wheel of Life is a fantastic tool which is often used towards the start of the coaching process in order to help your client clarify what it is they really want to achieve. Clients sometimes come for coaching with a vague idea of their goals and, although they may feel ‘stuck’, demotivated and unproductive – they’re not entirely sure where the problem lies.

You can use the Wheel of Life to help them see which parts of their life are, perhaps, out of balance. Instead of honing in too quickly in fixing one part of their life, you can use it to encourage a more holistic perspective. The wheel of life helps them to discover whether it is really just finances they need help with, or do they really need to look at their health as part of the process of creating change.

Using the wheel of life, your client can identify where they currently are on a scale of 1 – 10 (with 1 being not great and 10 being fantastic) in relation to various aspects of their life. During the coaching process, you can revisit their scores to note improvement and at the end of the coaching process you can clearly demonstrate the progress they have made (please see the accompanying PowerPoint presentation for demonstration).
