![]() ![]() The Wheel of Life, also known as the Life Balance Wheel, is a coaching exercise designed to assess various dimensions of an individual’s life. It provides a visual representation of different aspects of one’s life and allows for a comprehensive assessment of overall well-being. I am adding a list of the 11 areas below because the image only shows 7 of them.The Wheel of Life is a powerful coaching tool that helps individuals gain a clear understanding of their current life satisfaction and identify areas for improvement. This can lead to a more motivated and productive team overall. In any case you should only do with your team what you would like your leader to do with you.īy engaging with team members through the Wheel of Life exercise, leaders can gain a deeper understanding of their team members’ needs and help them achieve greater balance and fulfilment in their lives. Maybe you are a bit introverted? Or feel safer building a wall between your personal and professional life? It is ok. I wish I had a leader who was curious about my life balance and who would actually listen, don´t you? If you don´t… then maybe this is not a good exercise for you. ¨ Just listening¨ and caring already means a lot to most team members. Again, remember you are not their therapist and you do not have the obligation nor should be asking or trying to fix their lives. ![]() Most people don´t have someone to listen to them. Be careful not to create any false expectations, but do try to help if possible. You might ask if there is anything under your control that you can or the company can do for them. If you dont, the whole purpose of the exercise is gone . This can actually be a great exercise to do with family, too.Ĥ-Listen deeply. Third, you can also share WHAT you are doing that is under your control to make each area better.ģ-now its their turn. Its fine if they ask to take it home to think about it and fill it out. Second, briefly explain WHY you chose those numbers for your areas. First show them your numbers for each area. This is an example of how you can do it in 4 simple steps:ġ– explain why you are inviting them do to this exercise. It is very important to remind them ¨I am not a therapist and this is just an invitation for us to create some space to know each other as humans (there are enough AIs in the world), we only share what we feel comfortable with.¨Ģ-show your wheel of life first, be vulnerable and honest. ![]() Since most of my coaching clients are leaders managing a team, I do it with them and then invite them to then try it with their direct reports and they often come back surprised with the results and with how much they learned from each other. There should be no obligation in doing this exercise. No matter the person´s culture, it is important to be careful and make it clear that it is just an invitation. This is one of the few exercises we do that covers their whole person. Maybe as a leader that is what you can do, too. As an executive coach I spend more time exploring their Professional lives. Although I am not a life coach, nor a therapist, It is a great way to start getting to know some one and to create a channel of communication. ![]() One of the first exercises I do with my coaching clients is the Wheel of Life. ![]()
