![]() As a reflective person myself, I'm drawn towards working with others who find the cut and thrust of everyday life to be a challenge. I work with quiet, thoughtful and purpose-driven individuals to help build confidence in both life and work, for example by supporting them to find a voice, speak up, pitch or talk in public without feeling intimidated by louder voices. Resources for coaches and creatives: Pete Mosley PCC If you enjoy the articles I write, and would like to chat about my unique blend of coaching, mentoring and advice, please don’t hesitate to check my profile or get in touch. In talking about the ‘Pirate’, they began talking about their own lives too. The ‘pirate as metaphor’ device gave her a way into talking with young people about issues around their lives that may otherwise have remained hidden from view. One person I worked with – who specialised in working with at-risk young people – developed a ‘Wheel of Pirates’ which she then used to explore what life would be like for a Pirate (in this case a female pirate) in each of the areas of the human givens. I love the way that different people that I work with in my coach training and masterclasses develop and use these in so many different ways. Use same rules as in the business example above. This one is really designed for sole traders, but again can be adapted very simply for your own needs or other types of client. This wheel – which is from my book The Art of Shouting Quietly – is all about identifying strengths and weaknesses within a clients self-promotional activity. Then move on in the normal way, exploring in more depth on the way round. ![]() Too much time to think and important issues get held back or remain unexpressed. This quick and dirty ‘gut’ score is very revealing. When I use this with business I ask them to go round once, scoring on gut instinct rather than logic. The nice thing about the wheel as a device is you can make up your own wheels, or let your client decide the areas they would like to include on their own personal wheel. ![]() The process is exactly the same, only you are focussing on core business issues. I developed this version of the wheel to help me in my work with small businesses. I use this exercise regularly with my clients – why? – because most of the creative people I work with can’t separate out work and business life quite as easily as folk who have a traditional job. If something is holding you back on a personal level, it often stops you being effective in your work role too.Įven if you don’t feel that anything is innately wrong with things as they are, these exercises are a useful touchstone – used now and again, they can help you be aware of adjustments that it would be healthy for you to make. What help or support might you need to move forwards?.Which areas would you most like to develop?. ![]() Go round again, identifying areas you’d like to work on – probably the areas where you or your client scored lowest. Give the client plenty of time to reflect before asking them to score on each segment. Print off the wheel (right click and save) Go round the wheel, scoring yourself or your client for each segment instinctively on a scale of 0 -10 where 0 = totally unsatisfied and 10 = totally satisfied. You can do this on your own, or use it in your role as coach or mentor. ![]()
