The Wheel of Life

· The "Skills and Knowledge Gap" Wheel. What are the Top 10 skills and knowledge gaps that
get in the way of that job, promotion or new career? Identify the gaps and then to score
out of 10 where you are on the road to filling this gap. Finally identify action next steps for
each 'gap'. Tip: It helps to clarify whether each 'gap' is a skill or knowledge gap. AND it's
also important to do a 'sanity' check that the gap is fillable and that it's a skill you are able
or WANT to fill!

· General Action Planning. The visual wheel format is also great to make action planning
more fun. So, using a blank wheel, write the goal or required outcome at the top of the
page. Then write out the next 10 actions or chunks of work that make up your goal. Tip: If
you put a date against each action - you can then use the 'pieces of pie' to record the %
complete for each area! Using a wheel is also a great way to BREAK DOWN bigger actions
into smaller more manageable chunks.

· The Relationships Wheel. This is a wheel ABOUT relationships. List the 10 people that most
energise or drain you and then score HOW energised or drained they feel after spending
time with them. What do you notice? Tip: What % of your time do you they currently spend
with each person. For the energising people you could ask how you could spend MORE
time with them? And for the drainers you could ask how you could spend less time - or
change the way you spend time with them.

· The "Finding Love" Wheel. Our final suggestion is to help you identify what you are looking
for in a relationship. Take the blank wheel and label the pieces of pie with the 10 essential

qualities your ideal partner would have. Then score how IMPORTANT out of 10 each quality
is. This will help you identify which qualities are MOST valuable to you and to what extent.
Tip: It's a good idea to set yourself this one as homework and think broadly about qualities
that are REALLY important in a LIFE partner. And, depending on your preferences, a few
examples to start with might include "good listener", "kind", "spiritual" to get you thinking
beyond "tall", “gorgeous” or "good looking".
So, obviously you can use as many segments as you like on your wheels, you're not limited to 10
wheel segments - but it is easy to divide the wheel up this way!

Final Tip: Whatever we've used the wheel for I like to ask this question when complete, "So, if this
wheel represented your life/relationship/career/marketing strategy right now, is it a bumpy ride
and are there any immediate actions that can be taken to ensure a smoother journey?”
