Answers to the most common questions about process, pricing and the coaching journey.
How does the assessment process work at PurposeCoach®?+
After ordering you receive your individual access link by e-mail within a few minutes. CliftonStrengths® 34 takes about 30–45 minutes, Profilingvalues about 20 minutes. You complete the assessment online whenever it suits you and receive your full report as PDF immediately afterwards. For Profilingvalues and the Enneagram package, a 60-minute 1:1 debrief with a certified coach is included to translate your results into concrete next steps.
What do the assessments cost and what is included in the price?+
CliftonStrengths® 34 costs CHF 62 (full 34-themes report, instant download). The Leadership Bundle costs CHF 110 (includes CliftonStrengths® 34 plus the Manager / Leadership report). The Profilingvalues Combo and the Enneagram Coaching Package are offered on request and include the assessment, the full report and a 60-minute 1:1 debrief — exact pricing is shared in your free 30-minute consultation.
How long does it take to receive the results?+
The access link arrives within minutes of payment. CliftonStrengths® and Profilingvalues reports are available as PDF immediately after you finish the questionnaire — usually within the same hour. For packages that include a coaching debrief, you book the 60-minute session at a date that suits you, typically within 1–2 weeks of completing the assessment.
What is the difference between CliftonStrengths®, Profilingvalues and the Enneagram?+
CliftonStrengths® shows WHAT you naturally do well (your top talents). Profilingvalues captures WHAT matters to you (your values as inner compass). The Enneagram illuminates WHY you think, feel and act the way you do (deeper motivation and behavioural patterns). The three models complement each other perfectly and together give a holistic picture of strengths, values and personality.
Can I book the assessment without coaching?+
Yes — CliftonStrengths® 34 and the Leadership Bundle can be purchased as pure self-assessments with instant PDF download. For Profilingvalues and the Enneagram package we strongly recommend the included 1:1 debrief, because the results gain much more depth and actionability in a personal conversation.
Are the assessments suitable for teams and leaders too?+
Absolutely. Leaders use CliftonStrengths® and Profilingvalues to understand their own leadership style. For teams we offer additional team assessments, workshops and the Lencioni team check to strengthen trust, communication and accountability.
How are my test results handled in compliance with data protection?+
Your test results are only viewed by you and your assigned coach. We do not store any raw assessment data on our servers. All data transfers are encrypted, and we strictly follow Swiss data protection legislation. For coaching packages, results are only used within the agreed sessions.
Who has access to my test results and how long are they stored?+
Only you and your assigned certified Purpose Coach® can see your report. We do not store any raw test data on our own servers. Reports and coaching notes are kept only as long as needed for the agreed support and are then deleted in accordance with Swiss data protection law.
Are my test results shared with third parties?+
No. Your test results are not shared with third parties, sold, or used for advertising. The evaluation takes place exclusively within your booked coaching sessions between you and your assigned Purpose Coach®. If you book a team assessment, we agree in advance which aggregated results you want to share with your team.
Can I request deletion of my data or test results at any time?+
Yes. You can contact us at any time at info@purposecoach.ch to request deletion of your coaching notes and stored reports. Raw data at the assessment providers is subject to their own retention and deletion policies; we will gladly inform you about the relevant privacy notices.
Where and for how long do the assessment providers store my raw data?+
The storage locations and retention periods for raw data are governed by the privacy notices of the respective assessment providers (e.g. Gallup for CliftonStrengths® and Profilingvalues). We do not store any raw data on our own servers and only access the reports you provide to us.
Can I retake the assessment?+
Yes — CliftonStrengths® 34 and Profilingvalues can be retaken if needed. However, we recommend waiting at least 6–12 months so your strengths and values profiles have had time to shift. A retake code is purchased separately. The 60-minute debrief is most insightful with the initial evaluation.
How does the debrief coaching work?+
The debrief coaching is a 60-minute 1:1 conversation with a certified Purpose Coach®. Together we review your report, explore your top talents, values or Enneagram typology, and derive concrete action steps for your professional life. You can book the appointment online and choose between video call or phone.
What should I prepare before the debrief coaching?+
Ideally, read through your report calmly before the session and mark any points that surprise you or are especially relevant to your daily work. No further documents are needed. The debrief is a relaxed conversation in which you can ask questions at any time.
How does the included 1:1 coaching work after the assessment?+
After completing the assessment, you book your 60-minute session online. During the call, your coach walks you through the report step by step, explores your top talents, values or Enneagram type, and derives 2–3 concrete action steps for your current situation. Further coaching sessions can be booked afterwards if needed.
