Quotes on Using the Wheel of Power

• We have to consider who holds power and what that power is.
• I always say that it’s people who are closer to societal power that will experience fewer barriers in life.
• If we really want to understand the barriers faced, we have to consider systemic advantage and disadvantage to really see change.
• The wheel is a really helpful tool that we can use to understand the dominant lens and the way that things might be done in our workplace.
• I think it’s really helpful to reflect on our own identity elements, where we experience advantage and disadvantage and how that might have changed throughout our life.
