SOUL is how you do it, not what you do.
Who better to describe how we work and the impact we achieve than our clients. Below you will find a selection of organizations we are currently working with or have recently worked with.

With the support of subject:RESOUL, we were able to significantly improve communication within the office and create clarity in workflows and processes.
Emily Büning, Political Managing Director, Bündnis 90 DIE GRÜNEN.
subject:RESOUL enabled us to carry out the organisational development process independently after a short time. With their expertise, they provided us with excellent advice at all key points in the process.
Frederic Carpenter, Organizational Managing Director of the Federal Office, Bündnis 90 DIE GRÜNEN.
The facilitators of subject:RESOUL live up to their name by putting a lot of "soul" into the cooperation and authentically living and giving what is the purpose of their organisation.
We simply felt in good hands and intensively accompanied by Nele and Lars at all times.
Their professionalism and reliability in the planning, organisation and implementation of the content and communication of our programme - both in presence and in the virtual settings - were absolutely remarkable.
Thank you very much for your work at VAUDE.
Miriam Schilling, HR area manager.
In order to establish meaningful and functional structures, it is essential to understand how organizations work. Sascha and Torben imparted this knowledge to us practically, patiently and with a lot of humor and joy. Not only did we benefit from this during the actual collaboration, but we can also use this understanding for all follow-ups and new projects in the area of organizational development.
The engagement with our values and our culture, the openness to criticism and, last but not least, the wealth of experience and professionalism have meant that we have been able to find truly individual, tailor-made solutions to our problems.
Katrin Schwerdtner, Head of People & Culture.
This was Universal Music's first project with subject:RESOUL and we felt in very good hands throughout the entire process of creating and implementing.
It was particularly important to us in advance to create a workshop that would provide practical and, above all, tangible tools and use cases for our managers.
Thanks to the toolbox developed in the project, our managers continue to use the individual elements long after the workshops and have already been able to integrate many of the tools into their everyday work.
Julia was able to understand our culture and address the needs of our managers in a very short time. The participating managers found the workshop with Julia instructive and valuable, so that their feedback was consistently positive and it was very worthwhile for them to take the time for the workshop.
Many thanks to subject:RESOUL for the workshops, and we look forward to further cooperation!
Stephanie Hein, People Development Manager.
Collaboration with subject:RESOUL has been super valuable for Babbel. We had 4 packed Feedback sessions with Martin Bersem that was really well received by everyone - with requests for more sessions so more people could take part in it!
The whole process of getting to know them and how they work has also been very smooth. Martin is very open to listen to our concerns and ideas and tailor the training to our needs. I can only recommend subject:RESOUL and am looking forward to future sessions with them!
Natália Cortez do Prado, Learning and Development Manager.
Working with Stefan and Maria has played such an instrumental role in securing the health of the team and has strengthened each leader’s understanding of their strengths and areas of improvement as we continue to work in a virtual environment going forward into 2021. It was initially difficult to carve out time for reflection because we have so many competing priorities, product launches, and marketplace events that impact our daily work life. However, the time we took to examine our culture, unspoken and spoken working norms and identify gaps that we wanted to overcome, was completely worth it.
The feedback we have received has been overwhelmingly positive. Individuals have told me personally that they feel like their voice is heard and recognize that as a leadership team, our number one priority is them.
I highly recommend partnership with Stefan and Maria to identify ways to overcome the challenges you face on your team or within your organization. The ideas we started with completely morphed based on their expertise and I’m incredibly grateful.
Monica Perez Darcq, Senior Marketing Director Breast Cancer.
We have experienced working with subject:RESOUL as enormously supportive and enriching in times of change and rapid growth of our organization. The consultants took a lot of time for getting to know the organizational and team structure as well as the culture, in order to then develop solutions on how we can meet the diverse challenges together with us based on that.
Especially through adapting their consulting approach to our needs and resources, we had the possibility to react to changes in a flexible way. The friendly companionship and open communication of the consultants encouraged us and the team to dare implementing the new organizational system. By professionally moderating us they also gave us the opportunity of openly addressing and resolving structural conflicts and uncertainties.
Already, our new circle structure is showing relief and, above all, more clarity in distributing work and responsibilities. We are looking forward to the further transformation work with and within sociocracy, and the valuable cooperation with subject:RESOUL. In this sense, thank you very much!
Jakob Filzen, Management Board.
In a project lasting several months, subject:RESOUL accompanied me and our organization extremely successfully through an intensive structural change process. In doing so, the consultants ingeniously got to grips with the specifics of our organization at the interface of science, politics, business and civil society and first of all listened attentively - and on this basis confidently led us to the right questions and then to the right answers for us.
What was particularly impressive on this joint journey was not only subject:RESOUL's broad portfolio of methodological, strategic and procedural expertise, but above all the wealth of experience and the distinct personality and empathy of the consultants with whom I was privileged to work. With a great deal of intuition and sensitivity, they were able to put the relevant and difficult topics on the agenda, to critically follow up when necessary, and to always open up new perspectives in a constructive and forward-looking manner. In short: The cooperation was a real benefit for us! We are happy to unreservedly recommend subject:RESOUL to all future clients and cooperation partners!
Dominic Schwickert, Managing Director.
I have come to know subject:RESOUL as a consultancy that really wants to make a difference in organizations - with the highest integrity, at eye level, with fun and critical discourse. Above all, they aim at advising and accompanying the people in the organization in such a way that the change is anchored sustainably and can grow further even without their help.
Steffi Ludwig, Department Manager Personal.
In our team, we faced the challenge of maintaining the department's ability to function and keeping up the high quality of its work results, despite significant staff reductions. At the same time, we aimed at preparing employees mentally for more frequent and far-reaching changes in their working environment, based on the ongoing modernization process of the bank. At the same time, every individual was supposed to increase their scope of action.
With the help of subject:RESOUL we could master the painful departure from teams and old role patterns which had existed for at least 10 years, as well as the transition to a new, more network-based and active community. Ewa Hüls-Kubisa and Johannes Sattler taught us valuable techniques of working together, brought us face to face, and patiently guided us into unknown territory. Now we experience the successes and know we can do much more...
Cornelia Sels, Department Manager KR2.
Our SOULmate Miriam accompanied DEVK on the topic of "Job Rotation". Silke Werner from DEVK describes the experiences in an intranet article, which we are allowed to make available here.
The long-standing and trusting cooperation with subject:RESOUL has brought us an enormous step closer to our goal of actually living leadership.
We continuously empower our managers and aspiring managers for meeting the expectations placed on them. Participants of the workshops always gave positive feedback on the content, the trusting exchange and the playful and varied way in which content was delivered.
subject:RESOUL analyzed our situation before starting the development measures and conceptually addressed the specific challenges. They clearly formulated goals, and the project plan is detailed but flexible. I find the constructive feedback culture particularly noteworthy. This is not only present between coach and coachee, but also in the communication with Nordex management. This enabled us to derive measures that contribute to employee satisfaction, retention and the achievement of corporate goals.
Matthes Birr, Head of production Nordex Nacelle Germany .
Since 2016, subject:RESOUL AG has been supporting us in the areas of leadership and team development. In trainings, workshops and individual coaching sessions, the consultants contribute to improved cooperation, a sharpening of the leadership culture and an increase in individual performance. Especially the practice-oriented and customized approach leads to a sustainable impact of the positive effects on the organization. If you are looking for professional consulting with a lot of heart and mind, you are in the best hands with subject:RESOUL.
Hans-Peter Stotzem, Managing Director.
subject:RESOUL is a consultancy that understands how to create concepts tailored to the needs and language of the client and implement them in a very direct and refreshing way. The consultants have the competence to adapt to the very different skills and needs of a large organization and convey content authentically with a large pool of pictorial and structural methods and techniques.
Especially in the area of cultural values, a realistic concept was developed at Buderus Edelstahl. During the implementation, a lot of sensitivity and very good, practicable methods, such as the calibration concept between manager and employee, were used to create a tool that is understandable and learnable for the organization and will now be a fixed component of our management work.
I would also like to emphasize the professional feedback to us, the client, on the framework conditions and consistent attitudes that are necessary for the success of such a culture change project. The flexibility in the program design has enabled us to let a broad mass of people participate in this program without great expense in maintaining an account operation.
Michael Walter, Managing Director.
We experience the cooperation with subject:RESOUL as a real enrichment and the long-standing collaboration speaks for itself. Especially in the area of leadership development, exchange and cooperation take place at eye level, so that existing formats are also flexibly adapted to changes and new impulses as well as implemented in a custom-fit manner.
Many thanks for the extremely successful cooperation - professionalism with a "well-dosed pinch" of humor, this is how people development succeeds. This is also confirmed to us by "tangible changes" from the departments.
Annemarie Kiefer, HR Manager Corporate HR Development.
We have been working with subject:RESOUL for over 9 years now and it is great fun for everyone involved. Johannes and Lars have succeeded super fast in empathizing with our culture, adapting to our needs and of course also reacting flexibly to change. They grew to become an integral part of the Aroundhome family. Our managers have learned a lot, apply the new tools in their daily work, and continue to develop through formats such as peer coaching. Many thanks for that!
Lydia Conrad, Director Human Relations & Leadership Coaching.
A quantitative as well as qualitative evaluation of the measure was conducted. The coaching offer was rated as the best initiative within the Outstanding Performer offers.
88% of the participants in the evaluation would recommend the coaching to colleagues. Main reasons: very personal, very professional coaches, structured yet open-ended.
84% of the participants in the evaluation found that this coaching was an appropriate offer for the appreciation of the Outstanding Performers through: individual setting, focus on strengths and the offer of an outside perspective.
„The coach was very open-minded but structured at the same time. Clear expectation setting: what could be discussed and what was not realistic in one single session.“
„The result-open approach and the provided guidance by the coach.“
„That it was personal 1 on 1, not a shared training, and that it focused on my personal goals and strength which was not limited only to the companyagenda."
„I would love to get more of this external coaching and more regularly. A one time investment is good and nice but doing this more regularly wouldhelp me a lot.”

When the German magazine brand eins launched their Consultant Ranking in 2014, we were surprised and delighted that our clients and colleagues had chosen our young consulting network, which was only launched in 2011, directly into the list of the best consultancies in Germany.
Since then, we could celebrate every year - just like this year:
Also in 2019 we are named one of the best consultancies in Germany in the area of Human Resources & Coaching!
For the sixth time in a row!
Every year, being named in the brand eins consultant ranking is a great joy for us!
This year it also feels a bit like in our early years: In 2018 we changed our name to "subject:RESOUL" and asked ourselves if this new name would already be known enough to be represented in the ranking in 2019. All the more we are pleased that our clients and colleagues know and appreciate us and have voted us directly back into the best list.
Many thanks to everyone who voted for us!
We do our work for our clients and they can rate us best. In addition to the overall ranking, customer evaluation is therefore particularly important to us. In 2019 our clients again rated us above the industry average in the customer satisfaction ranking! That is great and a nice reward for our efforts. But we want more. In 2018, we received the highest rating of three points from our clients for our work - and we strive to achieve this every year. Therefore, dear clients: If you have feedback for us on how we can get even better, call us or email us! We look forward to hearing from you.
The brand eins consultant ranking is created jointly with Statista and is based on recommendations from colleagues and customer experience. In a first survey, partners and project managers from management consultancies are asked to recommend other valued consultancies. Consultancies with a sufficient number of nominations are included in the second round. In the second round, managers of companies are asked about their experiences with these consultancies. Consultancies with sufficiently positive evaluations are included in the final ranking.
