Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I see myself as having outgrown all that rigid structure and discipline, but my life keeps falling apart in exactly the places that need it
- There’s a constant low-grade friction between me and the place I work that I can’t name
- I do these life check-ins alone in my head and then quietly let them slide, and I think if I actually said the low scores out loud to someone who’d remember, I couldn’t just keep ignoring them the way I always do.
- I’m behaving in ways that aren’t like me
- Some environments light me up and others drain me for reasons I can’t articulate, and I keep clashing with people who supposedly want the same things I do
Practices that may help
- Spiral Dynamics, Made Practical
Spiral Dynamics, developed by Don Beck and Chris Cowan from Clare Graves’ research, maps human values and worldviews as a developmental spiral of "vMEMEs" (value systems) that respond to life conditions. Each tier addresses the adaptive challenges of its environment and transcends but includes what came before. The theory is influential in leadership and organizational development, but its empirical base is primarily Graves’ original clinical/interview research; the full stage-sequence model has not been rigorously trialed. - Avoid level-jumping: build through each stage rather than skipping
Recognize when you’re bypassing a developmental level that still has unresolved challenges.
Spiral Dynamics, Made Practical - Map the value system of your organization or team
Identify the vMEME your team or organization actually operates from, not just espouses.
Spiral Dynamics, Made Practical - Use the wheel as a relationship check-in, not just a solo exercise
Sharing your wheel with a partner, coach, or trusted friend turns a self-assessment into a conversation and a commitment.
The Wheel of Life, Made Practical - Assess which life conditions are activating which levels
Map how your current environment is pulling different value systems forward or backward.
Spiral Dynamics, Made Practical - Identify your center of gravity on the spiral
Find the value system that currently organizes most of your daily behavior and motivation.
Spiral Dynamics, Made Practical - Develop second-tier, systems-level thinking
Practice holding multiple value systems as simultaneously valid rather than competing for dominance.
Spiral Dynamics, Made Practical - Track your wheel scores over time to see trajectory, not just snapshots
A single wheel is a photograph; repeated wheels are a film — trajectory matters more than today’s score.
The Wheel of Life, Made Practical - Communicate across value-system differences
Translate your message into the motivational language of the person you’re trying to reach.
Spiral Dynamics, Made Practical - The Wheel of Life, Made Practical
The Wheel of Life is a coaching tool that maps satisfaction across multiple life domains (career, health, relationships, finances, and others) as a visual "wheel" to show where life is well-rounded and where it is flat. It is widely used in coaching but lacks independent clinical trial evidence; its value is as a structured self-awareness and conversation-starter tool rather than a therapeutic intervention.
