English Abstract: This paper examines the use of a classic coaching tool, the Wheel of Life, in a classroom setting. Students’ academic success takes place within the framework of all areas of their life, including relationships, work, health, and much more. The Wheel of Life is helpful to recognize the interrelationship and mutual influence of the areas in a person’s life and to begin to coach self or others to achieve greater success in every area. In this study, students were taught how to use the tool and the results are discussed. The paper identifies the areas of highest and lowest satisfaction and shares student voices.
