From Flat Tyre to High Performance: Nurturing the Wheel of Life

In this episode of Scaling New Heights Leadership, host Nick Sellers delves into the 'Wheel of Life' concept—a tool used to visually assess and improve effectiveness in the different roles we each fulfil in life.

Nick explains how individuals are occupy multiple roles, from family responsibilities to professional duties, and how identifying and rating these roles creates a snapshot and illuminates underperformance.

He emphasizes the importance of accurate self-assessment and identifies the areas needing improvement, advising against grand gestures and promoting steady, small changes for sustainable growth.

Nick also touches on the value of vulnerability in leadership and how consistent, thoughtful efforts lead to real progress.

He concludes with practical advice on setting monthly goals and encouraging listeners to seek coaching for further development.
