Dattner Group

Join leadership expert Fabian Dattner, scientists Frances Separovic and Sharon Robinson to discuss  why women in STEMM leading is  critical

Feeling let down by leaders of the most powerful countries in the world? Currently the world feels uncertain, full of volatility and the need for rapid change has never felt more necessary. In 2016, the largest ever all-female voyage set out, under the leadership of founder, and CEO <a href="https://dattnergroup.com.au/team/fabian-dattner/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Fabian Dattner</a> to Antarctica with one purpose: to equip women at the leading edge of science and technology, with the leadership capabilities to shift the narrative of leadership globally. Flash forward to 2020 and the documentary of the maiden voyage - The Leadership - showing as part of the <a href="https://2020.miff.com.au/film/the-leadership/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Melbourne International Film Festival</a>, seems ever-more pertinent in a world where the current leadership model is failing. This feature length documentary is a raw, honest and compelling exploration of what it means to be a woman leading in STEMM, ever-more relevant in an era of #metoo, BLM and COVID-19.As part of the documentary launch, we invite you to watch The Leadership (available for streaming as part of <a href="https://2020.miff.com.au/film/the-leadership/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">MIFF </a>from August 6th) and join a discussion with <a href="https://dattnergroup.com.au/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dattner Group</a> / <a href="http://homewardboundprojects.com.au/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Homeward Bound </a>founder, activist and visionary Fabian Dattner, in conversation with Frances Separovic - a biophysical chemist who is also the first female chemist elected to the Australian Academy of Science and, in 2018, inducted into the Victorian Honour Roll of Women, and Sharon Robinson - the Global Challenge Program Leader, member of the United Nations Environment Programme Environmental Effects Assessment Panel and an Editor for Global Change Biology.We will spend 60 minutes online exploring what it means to be a woman leading in STEMM today; how and why the current leadership paradigms need to shift, how to overcome the inevitable challenges women face, and how to keep connected to purpose, particularly when things don't go to plan.Don't miss this one-off opportunity to hear from leaders at the absolute forefront of their fields. In an unprecedented time, when many of us are seeking connection and clarity, you will walk away from this session with a renewed sense of purpose and vision for the future, as well as a greater sense of control and focus on how you can use your own sphere of influence, whatever that might be, to act for a more sustainable, inclusive and collaborative future.
