Wheel of Life

The Wheel of Life is a self-assessment tool I use with clients in my coaching practice. I didn’t come up with the original idea of the wheel, but I did develop a Google form and a series of R and shell scripts to download the individual’s data and generate a couple useful charts.

My innovation was to ask each person the importance they attach to each dimension of life in addition to the standard satisfaction. My clients often want to begin working on those dimensions that display the largest gap between their level of satisfaction and the importance with which they view that area of life.
