Biography
Keynote
Speaker Volker Kitz studied law in Cologne and at New York University, graduating with a summa cum laude doctorate. At the same time, he trained as an actor at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute in New York. He has worked as a scientist, lawyer, and lobbyist. Early on, these activities awakened his interest in psychological phenomena, which he systematized and prepared for use in various everyday situations in a comprehensible way. This marked the beginning of an unstoppable success story: his books made it onto Spiegel’s bestseller lists, were translated several times, and today sell in ten languages in over 30 countries. Volker Kitz quickly developed into an internationally sought-after speaker.
Kitz is not afraid to put forward steep theses. His next coup was a highly acclaimed book with theses on the modern working world. Here, Volker Kitz argues for a radically new approach to leadership: fewer unrealistic promises, more honesty. He demands that quality should once again play a greater role in professional life. Those who do their work well should be rewarded, instead of just finding it good.
Volker Kitz publishes articles in international professional journals as well as essays in renowned popular newspapers, for example DIE ZEIT, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Welt am Sonntag, SPIEGEL Online or in the feature section of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung. On television, the jurist regularly explains law and justice, including on RBB. In this way, Kitz inspires an audience of millions.
Dr. Volker Kitz is popular with companies and event organizers because he focuses on his audience. Through interactive live experiments, he creates aha effects that stick. From the audience, one hears again and again that the people have learned something that they can use quite concretely in their everyday life. The inventor of psychotainment has a great deal of life and professional experience to lard his lectures with appropriate examples and entertaining anecdotes. In doing so, he likes to hold a mirror up to the audience to explain how human psychology works and why we are the way we are.
