Gabriele Frankl
Acad. Title: Dr.
Passions: Further development, unfolding of potential, growth mindset, reading, my dog, nature, yoga, food, laughter, animal welfare, environmental protection and …chocolate.
Belief: Becoming better every day.
From an early age I have been fascinated by learning and knowledge. It seemed to me that almost all the problems in our world were due to a lack of knowledge: a lack of knowledge about how to treat each other in an affectionate and appreciative way; a lack of knowledge about how to further develop ourselves; a lack of knowledge that animals feel and suffer just like we do. I wanted to change this. I devoured books, helped develop knowledge management systems, wrote my dissertation on “win-for-all” and set up eLearning at the Universität Klagenfurt. But all that has not yet led me to my goal.
Now the time is ripe and the experience is there ‘for the next big thing’: bywyd! Together with a great team, we want to support people to unfold their potential and help others to do the same. I am deeply convinced that people who are allowed to develop and live their potential and are valued for it are not only happier, but also more peaceful and respectful towards all life. Our society urgently needs people who develop their talents, are happy, peaceful and respectful – and contribute their potential for their own good and that of all. That’s why I don’t stop imagining a better world. Because that is the only way to improve it.
