The Life Priorities Wheel
This assessment showed you how strongly the Alpha pattern operates in your life. The Life Priorities Wheel takes the next step: it shows you where your energy is actually going across six areas of life, work, family, friends, health, inner life, and contribution, and where you want it to go instead. The gap between those two is where the real work begins. Most people are surprised by what they find.
