Wheel of Life

The Wheel of Life turns a personal check-in into a visible picture. In metacards, coach and client edit it directly in conversation and keep the result connected to the relevant session.

Work directly with metacards: Rather than filling out a separate template, you adjust the segments together on the canvas. Ratings, conversation and the evolving visual workspace stay in one professional environment.

Professional context

What the Wheel of Life contributes

The Wheel of Life arranges selected areas of life or work in a circle. A personal rating for each area creates a snapshot that can reveal differences, priorities and useful questions.

It is not an objective measurement. The selected areas, scale and interpretation depend on the topic and the professionally facilitated conversation.

  2. Rate interactivelyChange values directly in the Wheel of Life so both people can see the emerging picture.
  3. Explore differencesAdd cards, text, lines or drawings to connect ratings with the individual conversation.
  4. Keep the connectionRetain the visual workspace with the session and return to it later with topics and notes.

What metacards contributes

Interactive Wheel of Life

Edit segments and values in the session instead of recreating a static file.

Open canvas

Cards, text, shapes, lines and drawings add the client-specific context.

Session continuity

The result remains part of the documented work rather than an isolated export.

Within the wider coaching process

The Wheel of Life can support an opening, interim review or retrospective. metacards does not prescribe that sequence: client, topics and sessions provide the organisational context while professional interpretation stays with the people involved.

The visual workspace is not an isolated method board: workspaces can remain connected to client, topics and session and be revisited later alongside separate session notes.

A snapshot, not a diagnosis

A rating describes a current personal view. It is not a clinical assessment, and changes between sessions are not automatically interpreted as progress.
