Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
