Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- My team only ever talks about how we’re working together after something has already blown up
- 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.
- By the time I notice the tension in my chest or my clenched jaw, I’m already in full meltdown
- We’re drowning in dashboards and reports and I still can’t tell whether we’re actually healthy until the lagging results land too late to fix
- I’ve tried other people’s checklists and they always track things I don’t actually care about right now
Practices that may help
- Use regular team health checks to surface dysfunction early
Teams that check in on how they’re working together catch dysfunction before it compounds.

A relationship check-in is a structured, scheduled conversation — usually weekly — where partners deliberately assess how they are doing as a couple: what’s working, what’s building up, and what each person needs. The practice is widely used in couples therapy and coaching, with a strong mechanistic rationale; direct RCT evidence for the structured check-in format specifically is limited. - Use the wheel as a relationship check-in, not just a solo exercise
