" Since the winter term 2024/25, PhD students at Paracelsus Medical University in Salzburg have been offered resilience training led by Victoria Soel. The workshop helps students build practical strategies to manage pressure, strengthen wellbeing, and navigate the demanding environment of medicine and research. Participant feedback has been excellent: “Thank you for that excellent workshop! I really learned a lot.”
Course Director Thomas Caspari underlines its value: “Victoria’s resilience training equips our students with practical tools to meet the daily challenges of medicine and research.”
The initiative highlights PMU’s commitment to supporting doctoral researchers both academically and personally."

"The conversations with Dr. Victoria Soell helped me a lot to better understand many psychological aspects of team work and to find ways to improve everyday work and make it more efficient. As a result, I was able to significantly reduce my daily levels of stress as a surgeon."

“To discover Mindfulness, is to discover a new, healthier and more positive lifestyle. It is like this amazing tatoo you always wanted to have, and now you carry it proudly and is going to be with you always. This experience can only be achieved when you are lead by professionals like Vicky and her team. I will be always grateful.“

"The Resilience Workshop was very interesting, very helpful...and fun too! It really makes you aware of your personality and opens new perspectives that prepare you for change."

“I loved the Mindfulness retreat! The valuable ideas, meditation practice, but also empowering group discussions made it a great experience.

"Dr. Soell recently conducted an exceptional workshop at the Franconian International School, where her expertise in ADHD left a lasting impression on our educators. Her insights and practical understanding have provided our staff with new perspectives and valuable knowledge. We firmly believe that her guidance and expertise will greatly benefit our educators in effectively supporting neurodivergent students. Dr. Soell's workshop has truly been a game-changer for our school community."

"The Mindfulness online class finally helped me establish a routine and gave me lots of precious tools for my meditation practice. Victoria’s joyful and heartfelt way to introduce us to these new techniques and support the group is special and unique. I am very grateful for this experience."

“Dr. Soell conducted an emotional wellbeing workshop with teachers at our school. Typically, I receive mixed reviews from teachers when we invite guests and specialists to make presentations. But Dr. Soell’s workshop was different. The feedback from the participants was absolutely enthusiastic! Word quickly spread about Dr. Soell’s work, and now we’re bringing her back to work with many more teachers.”

“This Resilience training has given me a different perspective - one that has taught me to deal with difficult situations in my life and profession in a more effective and less stressful way. A course we should all take to get to know ourselves and learn tools for well-being.”

"I attended 3 seminars with different topics about resilience and mindfulness. I was able to gain valuable insights from all approaches. The approaches complemented each other and offered a combination of scientific background information and practice, which resulted in an holistic approach to resilience. After the seminars, I became aware of what measures I can take to have the right focus and balance in my work and private life."

“I had the pleasure of participating in an emotional resilience workshop with Dr. Soell. Before the workshop I was skeptical. As a trained educator with decades of professional experience, I wasn’t sure whether such a workshop would have much to offer me. But I was pleasantly surprised! Dr. Soell blends research findings with practical tools and strategies. She is insightful and honest, and through the various provocations, she had me thinking and reflecting in totally new ways both about my personal emotional resilience and also about my role in the emotional resilience of others.”

I was impressed by the impact of Dr. Victoria Soell’s leadership and resilience workshop on our team. The session was not only engaging but also delivered practical strategies that our team could immediately integrate into their day-to-day. Dr. Soell demonstrated deep expertise and created an interactive environment where science met real-world application. I highly recommend this training to any organization striving to empower its people and drive sustainable performance.

I would like to sincerely thank you for the valuable support you provided during the coaching and consultation sessions. The discussions and inspiration you shared have helped me in many ways to reorganize my thoughts, evaluate topics from a different perspective, and reflect on them more consciously. I particularly appreciate that I have learned to focus more clearly and distinguish between the essential and the unimportant. I can now categorize things that are irrelevant to me more calmly or let them pass by without being influenced. I am very grateful for this enriching experience and the lasting food for thought that has given me, as well as for the improved time management.
