Principles for Success
What does success really mean?
Volker first ventured into podcasting in 2018 with his podcast ‘Stories for Success’. Dubbed as the ‘Tim Ferriss’ of Europe, he interviewed close to 100 high achievers, entrepreneurs, consultants, visionaries, coaches, and mentors about the processes and habits that fuelled their success. Using the knowledge gained from these inspirational leaders, he then wrote his bestselling book Principles for Success. The podcast now continues with a new host.
From emotional intelligence to habits, visualisation and authenticity, each chapter turns hard-won insights into something you can act on today.
What does success really mean to you? This is your guide to defining it on your own terms and building the mindset to achieve it.
Cultivating Resilience In Leadership
Resilient leaders do not avoid stress. They recover well.
It is about knowing your limits and recognizing when you are tired versus when you are truly overwhelmed and need deeper support.
Small habits like real rest, renewal, and working with your energy can transform your focus and leadership.
Resilient leaders build strong support circles, not solo success stories.
From Trauma To Triumph
Understanding dysregulation. Supporting recovery. Building resilience.
We help people understand what stress is really doing to their mind and body.
Simple tools. Real science. Everyday impact.
Resilience is not about “pushing through.”
It is about learning how to regulate, recover, and respond differently.
When people feel supported, everything changes.
Health improves. Confidence grows. Performance follows.
PTSD & Trauma In The Workplace
Addressing trauma in the workplace. Strengthening people and performance.
Trauma does not only come from major disasters. Constant pressure, tight deadlines, and high responsibility can quietly overload the nervous system.
When stress sticks around too long, focus drops, sleep suffers, and burnout creeps in. It is not weakness. It is how the brain responds to overload.
Supportive leadership, safe conversations, and simple regulation tools help people recover and teams perform at their best. Healthy people build healthy workplaces.
Talk It Out: Managing Energy And Preventing Burnout
Energy is a resource. Burnout is a warning sign.
Burnout does not happen overnight. It builds when stress stays high and recovery stays low.
Your brain and body need cycles of effort and rest. Without breaks, focus drops, patience shrinks, and exhaustion takes over.
Simple habits like boundaries, movement, real downtime, and honest conversations help protect your energy before burnout hits.
