What to expect
Mission
Help people understand their natural talents, clarify their most important values and derive robust decisions for work, leadership and life.
Vision
A working world where people no longer perform against their personality – but take on tasks that fit their talents, values and responsibilities.
USP
Talents + values + transfer. The report is the starting point, not the outcome: insights translate into observable behaviour and measurable goals.
Methods
Gallup CliftonStrengths® for talents, Profilingvalues for values and motivation, complemented by structured coaching and reflection methods.
For whom
Specialists, leaders, entrepreneurs, coaches and teams as well as people in career or life transitions – in Switzerland and Europe.
Impact
Four to six sessions over roughly 90 days. Progress is checked against defined goals and before/after baselines.
How it works
1. Contracting & baseline
What should be different after the coaching? We define a measurable goal and a baseline together.
2. Strengths & values
CliftonStrengths® and Profilingvalues surface talent patterns, value priorities and motivation drivers.
3. Purpose formulation
Talents, values and desired contribution combine into a testable purpose hypothesis.
4. Transfer & evaluation
30-, 60- or 90-day plan with concrete behavioural steps – and a before/after review.
Who is this for?
- Career reorientation or transition (after parental leave, burnout, sabbatical).
- Preparing for a leadership role or developing an authentic leadership style.
- Clarifying strengths, values and motivation before a key decision.
- Better role and team allocation in companies, firms and practices.
- Building your own coaching or advisory practice on a strengths-based foundation.
- Developing a personal purpose statement that holds up in daily life.
„The coaching was very helpful because I could assess my strengths more accurately. Through targeted training and a concrete implementation plan I can now integrate them purposefully in daily life."

How Purpose & Leadership Coaching works at PurposeCoach®
Purpose coaching is a structured reflection and development process. Coach and client first clarify the starting point, define a testable goal and then explore talents, values, motivation and limiting patterns. A typical process spans four to six sessions over about 90 days.
Purpose is not treated as a one-off insight but as a long-term, personally meaningful orientation that links strengths, values and the desired contribution. A purpose formulation is a working hypothesis – it may evolve as new roles, experiences or life phases emerge.
The USP: many personality offerings end with the delivery of a report. PurposeCoach® uses the report as the starting point of a structured development process. The results are connected to real work situations, leadership tasks, decision conflicts and a 90-day plan. The value of an assessment only emerges once results translate into observable behaviour and better decisions.
Two instruments are central. Gallup CliftonStrengths® maps recurring patterns of thought, feeling and behaviour onto 34 talent themes and describes talent potential – not a clinical diagnosis. Profilingvalues structures the examination of values, motivation and perceived abilities. No assessment should decide alone about fit, promotion or selection; sound use combines results with dialogue, context, behaviour observation and further information.
Research shows that professionally delivered coaching has, on average, positive effects on goal attainment, performance, wellbeing and self-regulation (meta-analysis of randomised studies, ICF Research Portal). Gallup's 11th Q12 meta-analysis covered 736 studies across 347 organisations, 53 industries and 90 countries, spanning more than 183,000 work units and about 3.35 million employees – and found consistent links between engagement and eleven business outcomes. These are between-group comparisons and no guarantee for individual coaching processes.
