So How Do You Roll?
The wheel of life model has been used in many coaching courses and sometimes has 3, 5, 8 or even more life areas that you can measure how your life is going and where you need to focus.
Generally these include some format around health, wealth and relationships as ‘spokes’ in the wheel.

The better question is: “Are you creating balance in your life?”

• Are there areas to work on to smooth your glide through life?
• For example : Some people are super wealthy but unhealthy or super healthy but at a cost to a relationship?

How Connected Do You Feel?

• Improve connection (our soul, our core being) and

How Big Is The Wheel?

• Pump our tyres (growth and learning)
• How are you growing?
