Women make up only 28% of the world’s researchers and are particularly underrepresented at senior levels.  Greater female leadership is needed to fight climate change which disproportionately affects women.

 

 

I have been selected as part of the Homeward Bound 2018 team which brings together an intelligent and capable group of women scientists who are not seen, not recognised and in large part somewhat sidelined so they can take their place at the leadership table, influencing decisions as they inform policy.

 

We will go through a year-long leadership journey which culminates with a 3-week expedition in Antarctica in February 2018. This is the largest all-female expedition to fight climate change and inequality.

 

What Are Our Goals?

 

  • To elevate each participant’s leadership capabilities.
  • To educate the team on the science of what is happening to our planet.
  • To refine participants’ skills to design and execute strategy, and to create plans for future collaborations as women working towards a sustainable future.
  • To enhance these skills, over a 10-year target, with 1000 women networked and skilled to affect change.
  • To create active, non-hierarchical collaborations among the women both in small groups and as a collective.
  • To have a global focus.
  • To contribute to and elevate the broader societal conversation about the role of women in leading the world toward a more sustainable future.

 

How Can You Help?

 

As this is a privately funded voyage and I would great appreciate your contributions to make this amazing journey possible.

 

How Will Your Money Be Spent?

 

Your money will pay for:

 

  • 12-month virtual leadership program
  • 3-weeks at sea, setting sail from Ushuaia in Argentina to Antarctica (including flights, accommodation and travel insurance)
  • 12 days of state of the art leadership and strategic planning training 
  • 6 days of a cutting edge science education program incorporating the most up to date and relevant research about the state and functioning of our planet.

 

Who Am I?

 

I am incredibly humbled by this opportunity and am looking forward to giving back to all those who support me on this journey. If you want to learn more about me, you can connect with me on LinkedIn.
