Questions & answers
Coaching and strengths questions – the answers
These are the questions our chat assistant and we hear most often in a first conversation. Here are the answers to read at your own pace – sorted by topic, no sign-up.
Coaching – the basics
- What is purpose coaching?
- Purpose coaching clarifies what you work for and which role fits you. We connect three levels: your talents, your values and your personality patterns. The result is not a vision on the wall but a decision you can act on next Monday.
- Who is coaching for – and who is it not for?
- It fits people in career transition, leaders, and teams who want to clarify how they work together. It is not a substitute for therapy: with medically diagnosed exhaustion, depression or an anxiety disorder, a clinical professional is the right first address.
- Does coaching also work online?
- Yes. Sessions run by video and are equivalent in substance to meeting in person. Clients in Germany and Austria work with us fully remote; in Switzerland both options are available.
Strengths and Gallup CliftonStrengths®
- What is the Gallup test (CliftonStrengths®)?
- A scientifically validated online assessment that ranks your talent patterns. What matters is not the list but the debrief: in coaching we translate the themes into concrete tasks, roles and collaboration.
- What does strengths coaching actually deliver?
- You learn which tasks give you energy and which drain you systematically. That produces decisions: different role designs, clearer delegation, stronger application arguments – and a shared language for talking about differences in your team.
- Do I need all 34 strengths or are the top 5 enough?
- The top 5 are enough for a first orientation. If you want to redesign roles, lead better or change career direction, work with the full profile across all 34 themes – that is where the blind spots become visible.
Process, duration and costs
- How does a coaching process work?
- First a free 30-minute conversation to clarify where you stand, then the diagnostics (strengths, values, personality), then the coaching sessions with tasks in between. At the end you receive a written result you can keep working with.
- How many sessions do I need?
- A single decision often takes only a few sessions. For a career change or leadership development, plan a process over several months – behaviour does not change in one appointment.
- What does coaching cost?
- Prices are listed transparently on the offer pages – per package, in CHF, including the number of sessions and assessments. The 30-minute first conversation is free and without obligation.
