Are women the key to solving the climate crisis? Why are they - and children - so disproportionately affected by the issue? And how can men step up to support change? To mark International Women's Day, Christiana Figueres is joined by top climate scientist Dr Katharine Hayhoe. As well as being Distinguished Professor and Endowed Chair at Texas Tech University, Katharine is an influential voice in communicating science at the ‘kitchen table' level. She and Christiana reflect on the barriers women face in STEM roles, Katharine's work with Science Moms highlights the impact of the crisis on children and the power of women in conversations about the climate. Women make up just over a third of STEM professionals in the United States and only a quarter of earth science professors globally. In an era where diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives are being rolled back by President Donald Trump's government, there's never been a more urgent need for diverse voices in science. Leading data scientist Hannah Ritchie asks how we communicate in this new landscape. Plus, Katharine shares how her Evangelical Christian faith fuels—rather than conflicts with—her climate work, as she and Christiana they celebrate how love can be the driving force for all genders to unite for climate justice. Together with Christiana, co-hosts Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson reflect on why diverse perspectives lead to better solutions and ask how men can support greater gender equality in STEM. Throughout, we hear from incredible women worldwide with inspiring messages for International Women's Day. From Pat Mitchell and her work on Project Dandelion to Natalie Isaacs of 1 Million Women - plus a rallying cry from Fabian Dattner of Homeward Bound. Learn more
Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others” - Marianne Williamson. What could become possible in how we invest in reinventing ourselves for our future? Adopt a possibility mindset by thinking about what's possible in playing a bigger game rather than looking for proof of what it will look like before you even start. Collaboration can be so powerful in creating an impact beyond ourselves by sharing and aligning our goals, values, and strongly held ideas about how we participate in life. It's pointless to have people on the bus who are unwilling to travel to your destination. Build a team and keep them motivated with a sense of purpose, imagination, and a desire to see your company succeed.

Welcome to another episode of Outrage + Optimism, where we examine issues at the forefront of the climate crisis, interview change-makers, and transform our anger into productive dialogue about building a sustainable future. This week, co-hosts Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac, and Paul Dickinson interrupt their previously scheduled programming一the launch of the O+O miniseries discussed last week一to celebrate International Women's Day (recognized annually on March 8) with CEO & Leadership Activist Fabian Dattner. The team also covers big news about our oceans' future and closes with music from Child Seat. Tom starts with the news that after nearly 20 years, members of the United Nations have finally agreed on the United Nations High Seas Treaty, an international framework to protect biodiversity in international waters. It's a massive achievement that protects the migratory routes of some of our most iconic species and demonstrates significant multilateral cooperation. Oh, and negotiations were led by Rena Lee, Singapore's Ambassador for Oceans and Law of the Sea Issues and Special Envoy of the Minister for Foreign Affairs一another great reason to celebrate International Women's Day. On a related note, Christiana references a disturbing statistic from a report prepared by GWL Voices for Change and Inclusion, an advocacy group of 62 current and former senior women leaders, that women have held just 12% of top positions at 33 of the largest multilateral institutions since 1945. Clearly, we still have a ways to go in the pursuit of gender equality. Next, the trio welcomes CEO & Leadership Activist and the founder of the global leadership consultancy the Dattner Group, Fabian Dattner. The group discusses Dattner's work at the nexus of leadership, support for women, and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). While it may sound like an unconventional combination, Dattner explains how it all came together一initially in a dream一and later in her Homeward Bound initiative. It is, our co-hosts agree, an unassailable mix of what our world desperately needs and could use more of. Later, Dattner brings up her trip to Antarctica and how the concept of success is as dangerous as the concept of failure. For many women, Dattner explains, success can be framed as an elusive ideal. She counsels that if you aren't willing to fail, there's nothing you can achieve because success is mostly a string of failures. These are just some of the topics from the group's lively exchange! Finally, the episode closes with the track “Burning” from indie rock powerhouse Child Seat. You won't want to miss this one!

Somewhere Around AntarcticaSeason 2, Episode 1[0:00] Boarding the Ship to Antarctica*Audio verite tour of the ship*[2:00] VO starts with Samantha HodderI'm on a ship, somewhere in the thumb joint that sticks out from the fist of Antarctica.We left Argentina about a week ago and coasted down the Beagle Channel, which has Argentina on one side and Chile on the other. [3:25] Because this is my dream: To share a story of being there in a way that makes you feel a bit like you were there too. [4:02] Julietta: Ok. Please, when you are ready, sit down. Perfect. Ok. Buenos Dias. Thank you very much. So I will try to keep it simple. If there is something that you don't understand, I can repeat it. We will navigate inside the Southern Ocean, and the Drake Passage is a little bit tricky. The ship is going to move. So that's why we need to prepare ourselves. The first thing is, is seasickness.[5:00] Samantha does an audio diary[6:15] Backstory of why this story was made[6:50] Hilarious reaction from family when she announces that she's leaving for a month.[7:34] Opening night welcome by Fabian Dattner[9:20] “When I think back to this moment back in 2018 it's like a mirage, because the freedoms we all had back in 2018 are very different from where we are now, inside a global pandemic.”[9:30] We were all getting ready to take part in this leadership development program - a sort of mastermind that hangs on four pillars: WomenLeadershipScienceThe State of our Planet. [18:43] “When I started following this story in 2016, it was right when the Trump Hillary race was heating up...and during those months, it actually seemed like Hillary was going to win the Presidency. The notion of women in leadership, was pregnant.”I'm not a scientist, like the rest of the women in this group. I was brought in as the podcaster, the storyteller who embedded with the journey, to record it, and you know, see where it all went."[12:32] “What I didn't know then, which I know now, is just how much road was ahead of me on this one. First, personal struggles, then job struggles, and now we all find ourselves in a world struggle, a global pandemic with a race against the clock to get these brand new vaccines into literally billions of arms, in every country, on every continent. “ Meanwhile, we're living through a cultural reckoning. [14:04 ] Shocking personal story “But then….my house caught fire. It was a small fire, but with the smoke damage, we lost most of everything. My family life, I have three kids, was turned upside down. I literally spent 2019 sorting it all out and rebuilding.” Things finally got back to normal, I was looking forward to 2020 when we moved back home, and I could get back to work again….and then the pandemic hit. I mean….is someone sending me a message?There's something about what happened when I was on the ship that keeps me coming back to me. Over and over again." It's THIS moment I can't shake.[14:43] The Blind Vote Moment[15:09] As a storyteller, if there's something you can't shake, if there's some moment that wakes you up in the night, that's the thing. That's the abyss you dive into. You have to. Even when you don't want to. Even when practically every single event, on a global scale, is suggesting to, maybe, just move on.The moment even got a nickname: We called it Rotheragate.[16:20]But thanks to this blind vote, it was ALSO the story of an emotional journey, which has nothing to do with travel, and everything to do with something else.Maybe everything else. ==I'd like to thank the following people for offering their voice to this episode: Paola Tello GuerreroSue MaugerDr Sarah HamyltonRachel ZomberRashmi VenkatramanDr Julietta PedranaMy familyAnd Fabian Dattner

Sign up for our Newsletter.Find the Insta Reel HERE to see amazing footage of Half Moon Island++The year I went to Antarctica, I was one of 42,711 people who walked on the frozen continent. That was in 2018.This season, there will likely be none. With the global pandemic ranging, it’s hard to imagine flying to another country, boarding a ship, and then disembarking on a continent which is the only one on the planet that remains Covid-free. IAATO, or the The International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators, is a non-profit alliance of tourism operators that monitors and keeps track of all the tourist activity for the entire Antarctic region. If you go to their website, IAATO.Org, you can see in stunning detail each and every footstep on the continent, because it is all tracked: By nationality, by location and duration and, in some cases, by precise activity. While they don’t govern any tourism, they do keep track of it. And they have been making COVID statements regularly.Going to Antarctica this year seems like an impossible task….and potentially also very irresponsible. Antarctica is much bigger than tourism, even though that’s what most people think about, after penguins that is. You see, December 1st marks the anniversary of the signing of the Antarctic Treaty, which was first signed in 1959, by 48 different countries. Notably, Russia and the US signed this Treaty together, despite the Cold War otherwise raging between these two nations. It’s the only continent entirely dedicated to peace and science. Since we’re doing everything virtually this year, from birthdays, to funerals, to graduations, let’s then also celebrate Antarctica virtually. This episode brings you along for the ultimate social distancing walk, on Half Moon Island, part of the South Shetland Islands, part of an archipelago of islands off the Antarctic Peninsula, just about arms distance from the continent of Antarctica. It’s also where the group that I was with, as podcaster-in-residence, on the second journey of Homeward Bound, took our first steps on the frozen continent.

Movies First with Alex First Episode 821Answering the big question...should I see this movie? The Leadership (Documentary)The world is crying out for a new model of leadership, but what is it? One woman thinks she has the answer. Australian CEO and ‘dreamer’ Fabian Dattner, leads an international group of 76 female scientists on an Antarctic voyage designed to transform them “into the sort of leaders they want to be.” Her hope is that once these women are primed to lead in science, they will be able to make meaningful change around the world. But on board Dattner’s own leadership style and philosophy are both severely tested, as the women’s deeply personal stories of workplace harassment and more are revealed.

Seventy-six women and a boatload of spin and soul-searching on the way to Antarctica. What happened next?
Seventy-six women and a boatload of spin and soul-searching on the way to Antarctica. What happened next?
This fortnight's episode I sit down with Kate - activist, scientist, environmentalist, board member, alumni of Homeward Bound, business owner and mother.Kate was one of the first cohort of 100 women to be involved with Homeward Bound - a fantastic opportunity for women involved in or working in STEMM - science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine - who deeply care about the planet, are from across the world and look to elevate their position into one of leadership.Can you imagine - getting to head to the Antarctica with 99 other intelligent women who would help spread and disseminate information, collaborate and encourage them to make decisions that will shape our planet?But Kate has done much more. A budding activist in the things she believed in from a very early age to owning the very first carbon neutral bookshop to now being a board member on WaterAid Australia.This episode we talk climate change and being intentional with our lives to make a 'hopeful' impact.This is Kate.

In this episode I have the pleasure of speaking with the incredible Fabian Dattner from the The Dattner Group. Fabian has so much passion for the topic of this conversation – Living with Complexity – and so our discussion focuses on how to lead through complexity as well. There was so much to cover that we have actually split this podcast into two chapters. You can listen to chapter 1 on the way to work and chapter 2 on the way home! Fabian Dattner is recognised globally for her advocacy for women with a STEMM background (science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine), leading for the greater good, influencing policy and decision making. Fabian is a founding partner of The Dattner Group, a Leadership Consultancy that specialises in cultural transformation, executive development, senior leadership development and working with women. She is also the Founder of Compass, an Australian transformational initiative for women wanting to be more visible as leaders, building courage over confidence. She is the visionary and co-Founder of Homeward Bound, a ground-breaking global leadership initiative for women in STEMM, set against the backdrop of Antarctica, which aims to heighten the influence and impact of women in making decisions that shape our planet. Fabian’s conviction on the impact of great leaders is well documented. Her expertise comes from working over 36 years in entrepreneurial, government, not for profit and corporate sectors and she is an inspiring leader who helps others understand they are leading for the greater good. Fabian and her team work in energy, food, education, Federal and State Government, corporate and not for profits. Over 1200 women have experienced Compass and some 350 women have done or are about to experience Homeward Bound, finishing with an expedition to Antarctica. Fabian has worked with women from the US, Canada, UK, South Africa, Germany, France, Spain, Columbia, Chile, Argentina, Australia, Namibia, India, Malaysia, China and New Zealand. Fabian’s focus is to build leadership capability across generations with women’s visibility as leaders a key contributing factor towards sustainability. In early September 2019, the AFR 100 Women of Influence were announced and you guessed it – Fabian Dattner was one of them. We are really excited for Fabian and her whole team who bring exceptional development to life for women in leadership. Check our Fabian’s blogs on her Linked In page.

As you may be aware, I’ve spent the past 3 weeks on a ship in Antarctica with 77 other female scientists, all participating in the Homeward Bound program. To say the experience has been life changing wouldn’t do it justice. In a safe and collaborative space we networked, developed strategies to lead, increase our visibility, and act on issues that align with our individual values and lift women up in the call to create change for the greater good. All of this in the spectacular setting of Antarctica. In coming podcast episodes I’ll be reflecting on the voyage and sharing the outcomes and resulting projects, but first I wanted to give you a solid background on what is Homeward Bound. Today’s episode is a warm and candid chat Homeward Bound co-founder Fabian Dattner, recorded on the ship on one of our final days on board. In this discussion Fabian shares the inspiration and vision behind Homeward Bound, why women with a STEMM (science, technology, engineering mathematics and medicine) background are central to the mission, why Antarctica and some of the biggest challenges the leadership team have overcome on the journey.

Do we need doubt to make us better, stronger leaders? But what is the path that can take us through this doubt? Maybe girls are taught to think that leadership is a dirty word? Co-founder Fabian Dattner reflects on her dream of making the expedition a reality. She believed in her dream and she built it, one step at a time. How are you going to build your dreams? We walk in a dreamer, we walk out a dreamer. Even if that is incredibly difficult. Original theme music by Gabriel Corindia. Piano Music by Sentuniman Field recordings: Carol Devine.

When a surprise male guest visits this all-women's expedition one night, the tone changes. A question is asked that he can't answer, and we watch the glass ceiling begin to shatter. Environmental activist and ocean swimmer Lewis Pugh, also known as The Speedo Diplomat, visits for stories and questions. He tells an inspiring story about influencing change in Antarctica. But then participant Monica Araya, Costa Rican environmentalist and activist, asked him an uncomfortable question; one he doesn’t have an answer for, the outcome might just surprise you.

When we leave our comfort zones, something happens. If we agree to take on something impossible, we are changed by it. Meet Dyan deNapoli, otherwise known as “The Penguin Lady,” and hear her story about the Treasure oil spill, the biggest challenge she's ever faced, and how it changed her life. Dyan takes us back to the icy shelf of Antarctica to a field of penguins. How does your life connect to Antarctica and penguins?

Does leadership training come through a battery of psychological tests? Or is it more about something closer at hand? Knowing yourself. Deep down. And then, being comfortable with that knowing. But how do we get there? And if you get there, what do you do with that information? You’re in Antarctica now and you begin to meet the women. They’re raw, transparent, and inspiring. Hard questions are asked about what makes someone a good leader. We start to hear the sounds of Antarctica, and get to know the women who are a part of this podcast: Monica Araya, Dyan deNapoli, Danielle Medek, Deborah Pardo.

Why should women rule the world? Well, according to my guest in this episode, it’s for the survival of our species. And she makes a pretty solid argument too. Fabian Dater is a leadership activist - and in her own words, she’s not messing around any more. Women fill between 9% and 17% of global leadership roles - and the world is burning. Since the beginning of time the game has been rigged in favour of men and if that doesn’t changed quickly, we’re all doomed. ‘It’s not about gender equity, it’s about the survival of our species’
