Wheel of Life Template
What Is the Wheel of Life Template?
The Wheel of Life is a classic coaching tool that gives clients a visual snapshot of how satisfied they are across different areas of life, such as family, career, health, finances, and relationships. By rating each area on a scale of 1–10, clients can quickly identify strengths, gaps, and areas for improvement. This template makes the process simple, structured, and ready to use in sessions.
