Founder and CEO
My sessions with Volker helped me at a time when I was making a big decision about the next step that I should take in my career. Volker created a great space for navigating these questions and showed me tools that I could use to make a good decision. His ability to listen to my individual circumstances and patience as I navigated a challenging time in my career was really helpful.

It was really helpful to regain self-confidence and be more motivated to take the action and go a certain direction. Volker has been understanding, proactive and practical which I really appreciate. At the beginning it was also eye-opening that even one thought during the session can provoke valuable insights and make the difference. All in all - good experience that I would recommend.
