At hrdiamonds, lifelong learning is not just a buzzword, but a way of life. In our regular Learning Nuggets , team members share inspiring topics, new insights, and personal learnings—actively contributing to the exchange of knowledge within our organization.

Last week, Doris Weyer took us on a particularly moving Learning Nugget journey into the world of Viktor Frankl: Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist in the 20th century and founder of logotherapy and existential analysis.
Doris is currently completing further training at the Viktor Frankl Center in Vienna and regularly incorporates insights from this into our team and quarterly meetings.

Particularly impressive is Frankl's idea that we cannot always determine what happens to us, but we can certainly determine how we react to it:

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space lies our freedom and our responsibility.”

“Man is the being who always decides. And what does he decide? What he will be in the next moment.”

This attitude reminds us that even in challenging moments, we remain the architects of our actions and that appreciation, meaning, and responsibility are central forces in a healthy organization.

Thank you, dear Doris, for the inspiring session and for reminding us again and again how important meaning orientation is in (working) life .
