Fast, efficient and always perfect – today’s demands on life push many people to their limits. The way we work and the general lifestyle can cause stress and drain our strength. Volker Busch shows his audience how to maintain your performance by finding balance and relief and maintaining an inner stability.

He was interested in what makes you healthy instead of sick. Health prevention and performance maintenance are his passion: What gets the brain in top shape? What makes people (more) efficient? What motivates and inspires us at work and in everyday life? And what keeps the soul stable? How can we lead a happy life despite mental stress? What positive influence do lifestyle, nutrition and exercise have on people who suffer from stress and tension in their professional or private lives? Lifelong learning enables us to grow and develop. But how can we motivate ourselves and others? How do we manage employees well in the context of change and transformation processes? And how can I myself become more self-motivated and achieve my goals?

After brief excursions into the world of music, Volker Busch decided to study medicine in the early 1990s. Head and mind soon set the tone: He found the brain more exciting than the ankle. Volker Busch became a specialist in neurology and later also a specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy.

Currently, he works in the outpatient department of the psychiatric university hospital in Regensburg. Here Volker Busch treats and counsels people suffering from a wide range of psychological complaints. Scientifically, he heads the working group “Psychosocial Stress and Pain”. He and his working group have been able to publish numerous publications and have received numerous prizes for their research.

In 2020, Volker Busch received the professorship for psychiatry at the chair of the University of Regensburg with a teaching assignment after 18 years of research and teaching.

In July 2019, Volker Busch was given the special honour of receiving the CSP Award (Certified Speaking Professional) in Denver, Colorado. One year later, in early autumn 2021, his book “Kopf frei” was published by Drömer-Verlag.

Since 2020, Volker Busch has also been the producer of the successful podcast series “Gehirn Gehört”. He was voted Speaker of the Year 2021 by the Rhetorik-Akademie Tübingen.
