A little perspective
Free reflection tool · No sign-up
A clearer picture of your life.
When you’re focused on building a business or leading others, it’s easy to lose sight of yourself. Take a moment to look at the whole picture.
Reflect on nine areas of your life, see your personal wheel and choose where you’d like to create a little more possibility.
Your answers stay in this page. Nothing is sent or saved automatically.
Think about how this area feels for you right now.

Your reflection
Not a verdict.
A starting point.
There’s no perfect shape, and no need to aim for ten everywhere. Your wheel is a snapshot of how life feels today.
What your ratings suggest
These prompts are based only on the scores you chose. They don’t explain the causes or tell you what your priorities should be.
Choose what matters to you, not just your lowest score.

Your next chapter
Change starts with
a different conversation.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. We can start with the challenge you’re facing, the question you keep coming back to, or the ambition you haven’t quite said out loud.

Working together
Less noise.
More possibility.
I help you define your success and create the mindset, clarity and confidence to get there.
We can meet for 60-minute sessions on Zoom or walking in nature. Or take a half-day momentum session to step back, get clarity and shift gears.

John Monks · Coach, founder, human
Hello, I’m John
We are enough.
And capable of much more.
I know the pressures of building a business and the pull to keep moving. My coaching creates a space to pause, think honestly and explore a different way forward.
We work with your definition of success, not somebody else’s. Alongside fresh perspectives, we build small, practical habits that help you move from insight to action.
I’m based in Cambridge and work with people in person and online. My background includes executive coaching at the Academy of Executive Coaching and creative leadership at THNK School of Leadership.

Before we
begin.
Who is mindset coaching for?
My one-to-one coaching is for founders and leaders who want space to think, build confidence and work through personal or professional challenges. You don’t need a fully formed goal to start a conversation.
Can we work together online?
Yes. Sessions can take place on Zoom. If you’d like to bring movement into the conversation, we can also walk in different places while talking on an audio call.
Do I need to complete the wheel first?
No. It’s an optional reflection tool. You can contact me directly, and you only need to share what feels useful to you.
Do you work with teams too?
Yes, through Curve Cambridge. This site focuses on coaching the individual. Curve focuses on team workshops, development and shared change.
