Over the past few years, Nina Riedel has gained extensive professional experience across a variety of fields and completed additional qualifications, including certifications as a Health Manager and Coach. Her professional foundation is rooted in a degree in Business Psychology.

For over a year now, Nina has been self-employed, pursuing a clear mission: creating healthier workplaces where people feel valued, thrive, and can fully develop their potential.

In this episode, we discuss her professional journey, her experiences, and her consulting approaches, which, in my opinion, cannot be overestimated in terms of their importance. Looking at the dramatic increase in sickness rates and absenteeism over recent years, it is clear that we need more than alarm bells—we need convincing and sustainable solutions.

We also talk about Nina’s role as a brand ambassador for profilingvalues. I am delighted that she shares and represents our values and messages. We both operate on a very similar values-based wavelength, which makes our collaboration particularly meaningful. Through her work, Nina actively contributes to raising awareness and fostering healthier cultures within the modern workplace.

Highly recommended listening.

I have known Richard Lutz since our school days, so we have been very close friends for decades. What I especially appreciate about him is his broad yet deep knowledge. You can hardly ever catch him unprepared, and one often wonders how he finds the time to accumulate such an impressive amount of expertise. He is a gifted autodidact and a passionate debater.

After discussing general values in asset management, we turn our attention to the topic of ESG — with the aim of sharpening perspectives, creating awareness, and avoiding simply following the mainstream narrative. Naturally, values play an important role throughout the discussion.

Highly thought-provoking and exciting.

In this episode, I would like to address a topic that can potentially affect each and every one of us, either directly or indirectly. The number of people suffering from mental health conditions is at an all-time high.

In this podcast episode, I would like to take you through some statistics and highlight concrete measures that companies — as well as all of us individually — can implement. We will also explore how important values are when it comes to dealing with mental health in the workplace.

Nadja and I have been connected through more than 12 years of fruitful collaboration. In this episode, you will get to know her as a person and gain insight into a career path that I encounter quite often, yet one that always unfolds in a unique way. The underlying question is: How can I first build a business alongside my employment and later become fully self-employed and successful?

We explore key aspects of this journey and then move on to the topic of assessments. How can the triangular constellation of potential employer, candidate, and us as consultants create a true win-win-win situation? In this way, not only can poor hiring decisions be avoided, but meaningful value can be created for everyone involved.

Highly insightful.

In this episode, I would like to talk about an intervention strategy for teams, leadership, and entire organizations that has not yet received a great deal of attention. Positive Psychology, as an independent branch of empirical psychology, has made important contributions to the preservation of mental health, quality of life, and well-being. Especially in the workplace, where our health is often put to the test, these findings can have a remarkable impact.

Integrating Positive Psychology into the workplace can provide valuable support in promoting individuals and their psychological stability, thereby contributing positively to job performance, job satisfaction, and commitment.

share a special wavelength with Elmar Türk — not least because we both began our academic paths in chemistry.

Later, like me, he was drawn toward working with people, and fortunately our paths crossed around fifteen years ago.

As a passionate glider flight instructor, Elmar combines technology and human development in a unique way. As a specialist in ego development based on the work of Jane Loevinger and as a representative of profilingvalues in Austria, he brings an extraordinary depth of knowledge.

What makes this especially valuable is his ability to communicate complex ideas in a simple and vivid way, making this episode highly accessible and rewarding for listeners.

A truly enriching conversation — and a pleasure to listen to.

In this episode, I explain why work as a true calling is far less rare than many people assume — at least according to my long professional experience. But every journey begins with the individual.

If people start with themselves, society has a real opportunity to unlock human potential while creating far more fulfilled citizens — people who experience genuine meaning through their work.

I explore the core values behind this idea and offer two concrete approaches for developing one’s own path toward a sense of calling.

Let us make use of the opportunities that human life offers. This requires contribution from everyone: the individual, the family, the social environment, colleagues, as well as the local community, the country, and the state.

Work as calling is a powerful goal — and far more achievable than many believe.

I have known Bertram Kasper for almost 15 years, and it has always been a pleasure to work with him successfully over the years.

From an early stage, he dedicated his life to social work and has achieved remarkable results both in leadership and entrepreneurship within this field. He worked for more than 36 years at St. Elisabeth Verein, where he also founded the consulting company GISA, which became highly successful in the broader social services market.

In addition, he is actively involved in the selection of foster parents, where profilingvalues is applied as part of the process.

In recent years, he has also become known through his podcast Gelassen älter werden and is active as a blogger, author, and visionary in his own third stage of life.

In this episode, we have an engaging conversation and explore the significance of values in these contexts.

A conversation that is both illuminating and encouraging.

In today’s fast-moving business world, many topics are often mixed together — including generational conflicts, which have become a constant part of public debate.

At the moment, one issue stands out in particular: demographic change. Large numbers of people are reaching retirement age, and especially in Germany, a significant transformation is taking place. The strongest birth cohorts in history — the Baby Boomer generation — are gradually leaving the workforce.

But which values have shaped this generation, both in professional life and in their private lives? Are the differences compared with younger generations really as large as often claimed?

In this episode of Value Impulses, we bring clarity to the Baby Boomer generation and explore the values behind this major social shift.
