What is the Wheel of Life?

The Wheel of Life is a coaching exercise where a client scores several areas of their life or work from 1 to 10, then plots those scores on a circle divided into segments. The resulting shape shows where energy is high, where it is depleted, and where the imbalance sits.

How many areas should the wheel have?

Eight is the usual number because it stays readable and still covers the main territory. Six works well for a focused leadership or career wheel. Beyond ten the segments get thin and the conversation loses its edge.

How is the Wheel of Life scored?

Each area is scored from 1 at the centre to 10 at the outer rim. Ask for satisfaction rather than performance, so the client rates how they feel about that area today.

How often should a client repeat the Wheel of Life?

Every eight to twelve weeks, or at the start, midpoint and end of an engagement. Comparing two wheels side by side evidences change to a client and to a sponsor.

Can I put my own branding on the Wheel of Life template?

The free printable worksheet carries CoachComet branding. Inside a CoachComet account the wheel goes out under your own logo, practice name and colours, on the worksheet your client sees and on the report a sponsor reads.
