Change the Culture, Change the Story

 

"If you want to change the culture, change the story." —Steve Jobs

When your message is aligned with your values and truly lands with your audience, it doesn’t just inform — it transforms.

The Digital Dolphins Method

The Digital Dolphins Method is a series of specialised learning modules with a tutor-led, peer-learning approach. We help you:

  • Clarify your core message so it feels true, grounded, and aligned with your values.
  • Apply the Audience Impact Success Formula to talks, classes, pitches, and campaigns.
  • Use ethical AI tools to storyboard, script, and refine your communication faster.
  • Practice in a supportive circle, so courage and confidence grow with every iteration.

Whether you’re leading a team, designing a course, or sharing research with the world, we give you the structure, feedback, and creative tools to tell stories that people feel — and act on.

Craft your message with heart 💛
Let your audience lead the story 🧭
Make an impact that lasts 🏹🎯

For the Quiet Changemaker who feels stuck…

If you’re blocked by perfectionism, unsure who your real audience is, or intimidated by tech – you’re in the right pod. Let’s name the pain, then show you the path forward.

The 3 big blocks holding you back

Blocked by Perfectionism

“I can’t publish anything until it’s… perfect.”

  • Constant rewriting and polishing
  • Fear of judgement or “getting it wrong”
  • Ideas never make it out of drafts
  • Weeks and months lost to overthinking

Don’t Know Your Audience

“I have something to say… but who is actually listening?”

  • Foggy message, unclear positioning
  • Speaking into the void with little response
  • Unsure which story really lands
  • Low engagement, low trust, low impact

Tech Intimidation

“I want to create… but the tools overwhelm me.”

  • Fear of looking “stupid” with tech
  • Not sure which tools to use or where to start
  • Feeling behind while others “get it”
  • Creative ideas die because tech feels too hard

Trust our Experts to reach your best Results -together with You- Join THE CIRCLE!

If you are a thought leader you already know showing vulnerability in your messaging gets you attention by the people you are talking to. Unfortunately most struggling change makers  make the mistake of putting on a mask, but if you don’t know that showing your truth helps others trust and relate to you, you feel unseen and your audience doesn't feel emotionally connected.

This is why we developed and tested this Creative Community Platform for Creative Changemakers.

"I didn’t need more information—I needed direction. This course gave me both.”"

The highlights for me were all the wonderful digital ways to play, to view, test, craft and create a story — such good fun.

Melanie B., Executive Coach

"Every step felt like it was made for people like me- wonderful course Bettina!"

I learned so much and was able to get in touch with my creative inner self as well as develop my story telling and digital skills.
