🧭 The Wheel of Life Coaching Tool
What Is the Wheel of Life?
The Wheel of Life is a powerful self-assessment tool used in coaching to help you reflect on different areas of your life and measure your level of satisfaction in each one. By visually mapping your life balance, you can identify areas that need more focus, set meaningful goals, and create a practical plan for improvement.
It’s a simple yet transformative exercise — often the first step in a coaching journey — giving you clarity, direction, and motivation.
🌟 How It Works

-
Each segment represents a key area of your life.
-
Rate your satisfaction in each area from 1 (very dissatisfied) to 10 (fully satisfied).
-
Connect the scores to see how “balanced” your wheel looks.
-
Discuss insights and next steps with your coach.
