Who Are the Digital Dolphins?

Bettina didn’t set out to build the Digital Dolphins — she followed a thread that had been pulling her forward for years: a deep belief that stories shape people, and people shape culture.

Today, she leads the Digital Dolphins, a creative hub where changemakers and educators learn to tell the story only they can tell — supported by modern tools, soulful pedagogy, and a touch of AI magic, which we practice in our creative community, the Digital Dolphins Circle. She speaks at universities and conferences across Australia and Europe on storytelling & AI in education, championing a simple idea: Your voice matters. Your story can move people. And, storytelling is what makes us human.

Before entrepreneurship, Bettina became known for adventurous, human-centred workshops such as Playdate – Technophobia in Academia and the government-funded Digital Competency Starter Kit. These projects opened doors around the world and affirmed her talent for turning complex topics into playful, empowering learning experiences.

Earlier still, she spent years inside higher education, helping universities rethink how we teach creativity, media, and modern literacies. She taught Media Creation and Film Production, contributed to major curriculum redesigns, and supported research at leading Australian institutions — always guided by one question: How do we help people express what matters most?

Before academia, Bettina shaped stories for millions as a television executive and producer, creating over 500 hours of TV and co-founding the TV Akademie Berlin. Those years taught her how to hold an audience, build emotional connection, and turn ideas into impact — lessons she still teaches today.

Now, with artificial intelligence woven into her creative toolkit, she developed the AI Companion Audience Alchemist, our free Step 1 to the Audience Impact Success Formula, Bettina continues her mission: to help you unlock your voice, elevate your message, and tell the story that only you can tell — with clarity, courage, and creative confidence.

Why We Are Called Digital Dolphins

Dolphins have always been master storytellers of the ocean — they communicate with precision, travel in supportive pods, and navigate vast waters with intelligence and playfulness. Digital Dolphins takes its name from this spirit.

In a digital world full of noise, we help you find your own sonar: the clarity, creativity, and confidence to express who you truly are.

Like a dolphin pod, our community is built on collaboration, curiosity, and shared exploration. We move together, learn together, and support each other as we each tell the story only we can tell — with modern tools, human depth, and a sense of play.

Bettina’s Values

Bettina’s work is grounded in four core values: clarity, creativity, compassion, and courage. She believes storytelling can shape culture, that every voice deserves dignity, and that modern tools—used wisely—can elevate human potential. Her practice brings together heart, intelligence, and purposeful design.

Why Story, AI & Peace Pedagogy

Bettina’s work brings together three forces: story, artificial intelligence, and peace pedagogy.

Story is how we make sense of the world. It shapes identities, cultures, and the choices we make. When people learn to tell their story clearly, they also learn to think, feel, and act with more intention.

AI, used wisely, can expand what we imagine and create. For Bettina, it is not a replacement for human creativity, but a companion that supports reflection, experimentation, and access to new narrative possibilities.

Peace pedagogy offers the ethical foundation: a commitment to dignity, dialogue, and shared responsibility. It invites learners to meet themselves and others with curiosity and care, even in times of conflict or change.

Together, story, AI, and peace pedagogy shape a way of working that helps people express truth, build connection, make an impact and contribute to a more compassionate future.
