Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about finding your calling
How do you find your calling?
A calling usually emerges where talents, values and personal motivation intersect. Purpose Coaching uses scientifically grounded instruments such as Gallup CliftonStrengths® and Profilingvalues to make individual patterns visible and condense them into a clear purpose statement.
How long does it take to gain career clarity?
Many clients gain significantly more clarity about their next professional steps within 90 days. The exact timeframe depends on the starting point, the goal and personal willingness to reflect. Structured programmes such as the 90-day plan keep momentum and commitment high.
How is Purpose Coaching different from classic career counselling?
Classic career counselling focuses mainly on changing jobs and application strategy. Purpose Coaching starts one level deeper: strengths, values and meaning. Career, leadership and life decisions are derived from that foundation — not the other way round.
Who is Purpose Coaching for?
For people between 30 and 50 who sense that their current professional direction no longer fits — and who want well-founded answers instead of quick tips. Typical triggers: career change, promotion, role conflict in daily leadership, a wish for more meaning.
What role do scientific assessments play?
Gallup CliftonStrengths® delivers a precise talent profile, Profilingvalues measures values and motivational patterns. Both make subjective impressions objectifiable and create a solid basis for decisions — instead of pitting gut feeling against gut feeling.
Frequently Asked Questions
In the following FAQs we answer the most common questions about Purpose Coaching, Gallup CliftonStrengths®, Profilingvalues, coaching duration, investment and online vs. on-site sessions in Bern, Zurich and across Switzerland.

Coaching is solution- and future-focused – designed for healthy people seeking clarity, growth or change. Psychotherapy treats mental health conditions and often works with the past.

Scientific foundation
Our approach is grounded in peer-reviewed research. The impact of strengths-based interventions and Positive Psychology is documented in these primary sources:
- Lyubomirsky, Sheldon & Schkade (2005): Pursuing Happiness – The Architecture of Sustainable Change, Review of General Psychology.
- Seligman, Steen, Park & Peterson (2005): Positive Psychology Progress – Empirical Validation of Interventions, American Psychologist.
- Harter et al.: Gallup Q12 meta-analysis on engagement, productivity and well-being at work.
Numbers that speak for themselves
Recent studies show why strengths-based coaching works:
- According to the Gallup CliftonStrengths® meta-analysis, employees who use their strengths every day are 6× more engaged and 3× more likely to report an excellent quality of life.
- Worldwide only 23% of employees are engaged at work (Gallup State of the Global Workplace 2024).
