The stock wheel is a coaching tool with which you can easily identify the most powerful values within yourself. It helps you connect with your priorities, to be able to open yourself to new perspectives, to redirect your professional path or get you on track towards your ideal job.
It works in a similar way to the wheel of life, another coaching instrument that allows you to graphically visualize the most problematic facets of your life in order to improve them.
Thus, the wheel of values helps to validate or confirm what we want in our professional life, when until then we only intuited it.
The wheel of values, an exercise in self-knowledge with which to achieve a goal
The wheel of values is an exercise in self-knowledge that allows us to bring to light the best capabilities, the best motivation to work on the goal that the person has set for themselves. It allows you to define your professional purpose with absolute clarity and drive change.
While the wheel of life refers to general aspects of life, the wheel of values is more oriented to the person’s values related to the world of work. It is always focused on a goal.
Both tools are complementary: if the wheel of values and the wheel of life (scale of personal values and professional life) can be balanced, the person is closer to personal balance.
How is the stock wheel made?
The stock wheel methodology is simple. The person has to draw a circle shaped graph and distribute in it a series of values that are fundamental for it, until it is completed.
The diagram must take into account the stage in which one is located, consider age, moment in one’s professional career (one does not usually have the same aspirations as an apprentice as an expert professional, for example), current status, etc.
The circle should include the priorities that the person establishes: better salary, more free time, work/family balance, personal self-realization, projection, international career, health, etc. Once they have been identified, the person must assign a value to each of these facets.
Once the graph is defined, the result is the representation of the priority orientation, which allows an employability strategy or other objective to be drawn up.
Having identified the aspects that are most important for the person and those that we have most neglected, the work of personal self-knowledge continues with the following points:
- Be very clear which one is yours current state and that of your environment for making smarter decisions.
- Make decisions with determination that allows you to move towards your goal.
- Commit with your objectives and values to achieve that personal or professional change.
- It is essential that you know how to adapt to changes so that the results are lasting.
This coaching exercise allows us to clearly assess the most important elements when faced with a professional change and what weight we give to each of the values that govern our aspirations.
