… a lot of this (Neil’s Wheel) is about a conversation with the child of the future …… ‘So grandpa, when you knew these old ways weren’t working, the animals were dying, the waters were rising and things were running out. What did you do?’ And wanting to feel that for that grandchild, I did something for them.
Neil Scotton
My conversation this month is with Neil Scotton about a deceptively simple coaching tool that he has designed and is now sharing around the globe, Neil’s Wheel. It is a vivid example of Neil’s generosity of spirit in action.
The wheel is available free to the world, there’s no obstacles to accessing it – no payments, no having to do a course or read a book or anything else around it. You just go to the site, print it off or copy it out and go.
In our conversation Neil, an award-winning coach of many years’ experience, explains how he has drawn upon his international standing and depth of coaching expertise, to create and refine Neil’s Wheel with the coaching community so as to make it available to change makers and concerned citizens worldwide – as well as to professional coaches.
Excitingly it was recently taken up by a number of church ministers across the US, and, one of them wants to look at the words to see, what changes, if any, need to happen so that he can work with the disenfranchised youth in America.
In autumn 2020 Neil was awarded the Coaching at Work Editors’ Award for his contribution to climate coaching which included the creation of Neil’s Wheel. Neil is the co-founder of the One Leadership Project and many other initiatives mentioned in the podcast.
