Great article Jenna. I was especially intrigued by the visual representation of the skills on the wheel. Rather than discrete skills, they are linked to each other. So it makes sense that my opposite would be the hardest for me….but it’s really just the other side of the coin.

A friend of mine had a theory that people naturally fall into 4 different types of people. “First gear” people are full of ideas and get the car/project going. “Second gear” people are fabulous at fleshing out ideas and/or creating spin off ideas. They usually help get things off the ground. “Third gear” people are implimenters. They are the do-ers and transition people. “Fourth gear” people are the long term engines. When ever I am critical of my lack of original ideas, I am comforted by the fact I’m a second gear person.

I will have to spend some more time reflecting on the Wheel to see where I am getting stuck. I think I actually like the organizing, but have a hard time coming up with ideas. Hence, that’s why I often post poetry or quotes on my blog. Thanks for sharing this resource and for your insights into the creative process.
