Community is key to conservation – Moreangels Mbizah – #TeamHB6
We are the “community” and if we want to see lions in the wild, if we want our children and great grandchildren to see lions – then whether you live in the USA or in the UK or live alongside them in an African village, you have to be involved in their protection.
Virus hunter Cassandra Berry inspires creativity in science
As females, perhaps our empathy with others drives us to succeed in ventures and dive deeper to understand different facets of problems to solve.

HB6 Spotlight – Abeer Al Saud
The fuel in my being is energized by working and I enjoy the thrill of doing things that evoke my passion. Whenever I realize that my actions and beliefs change archaic routines, that stimulates me to move one.
An open letter to #TeamHB6
Homeward Bound is an inspirational, focused, pragmatic, global collaboration for and with women in STEMM, to role model and evolve a very different way of leading. We share common cause – to care for Earth as our home, and we have the expertise, intellect and will to do something about it.
Leadership in times of trauma
… leadership is everywhere; not just in those positions labeled as such. All of us can apply the principles of trauma leadership every day. We can apply it to ourselves, our families and workplaces, and the way we show up in the world.

Homeward Bound: Learning leadership in and from Antarctica
Cassandra Brooks (left) and Dr Justine Shaw (right). Image: Will Rogan Icy wind from the Antarctic continent stings our faces as we crouch in the zodiacs straining to hear the crackling of the ice. Water rises and falls around us as if it’s breathing. Small pieces of...
Te mana o Hinehukapapa. We are ancestors of the future.

Seven Climate Reality Leaders Take Collective Action in Antarctica
I find myself on a ship, anchored on a harbour in Antarctica. Outside the window, the silken water is broken by clumps of ice and framed by soaring, snow-covered mountains. On the ship with me are 100 extraordinary women from 33 countries, all driven by the same...
Leadership and Trust: Associate Professor Sandra Radovini
What is trust? Trust is a key pillar of all good relationships; it is the foundation that supports strong and long-lasting collaborations. It is the base of effective team work. Trust can be thought of as an invitation: an invitation to openness, to communication, to...
Learning from a Century of Leadership
As a marine ecologist, I applied for Homeward Bound without having any idea of what leadership could mean for a scientist like me. For a long time, the word leadership was beyond my grasp, for the simple reason that the word has no translation in French. However, I...

We Need Trust to Build Strong Leaders
As a young woman, I was involved in a dance community. Before dancing, we held each other’s arms in pairs and stared into each other’s eyes while taking deep breaths. We then touched each other’s foreheads with our fingers and together said “I trust you because...
Leadership and Inclusiveness: Fern Wickson
When I was offered the role of Lead Facilitator for Homeward Bound 4, I was extremely excited but also a little bit daunted. Part of my job as lead facilitator is to enable a faculty of twelve exceptional women leaders from all around the world to deliver a leadership...
Welcome to Homeward Bound 4

Brave leaders fall and stand up again | Evguenia Alechine #TeamHB4
Resilience is the ability to mentally or emotionally cope with a difficult situation and to recover quickly from it. For leaders, resilience is key since difficult situations arise on a regular basis, both in our personal or professional lives. And, if I...
Leadership and Resilience: Fabian Dattner
Don’t confuse resilience with determination, or grit, or bloody mindedness. Don’t confuse it with flexibility or adaptability. It is all these things, but so much more when we talk about women, leadership and the state of our planet. Perhaps men and women are entirely...
Leading the Way with #TeamHB4

FOR A SATISFYING CAREER, ENQUIRE WITHIN: DR MARIE CLARK
Rampant gender bias aside, one of the most concerning aspects of scientific funding trends in Australia is that already well-established investigators are being funded at the expense of those who are still developing as leaders. In essence, scientists are eating their young.
ON THE PRESERVATION OF WILD SPACES…GALÁPAGOS ISLANDS: DR SOPHIE ADAMS
The world is facing many challenges at the moment, not the least of which is the climate emergency and the preservation of the world’s biodiversity. We know that climate change threatens what we have assumed would be eternal. We also know that our economic and political systems make it harder to protect the world’s wilderness.
Welcome #TeamHB5!

If… reflections on International Women’s Day: Fabian Dattner
Imagine if we didn’t need an International Women’s Day. Imagine if men and women worked in equal numbers, if men and women were leading our governments, our corporations, our efforts to tackle the myriad of environmental issues our planet faces equally.
Returning from Homeward Bound: Kelsie Clarke
Settling back into my day to day life was a strange experience. I had been through something similar once before, following a secondment into an Aboriginal organisation in Sydney, Australia. It’s almost a feeling of reverse culture-shock coming back to a life you know so well and cherish
Reflections on my (39th) birthday: Stephanie Langerock
Last Saturday was my birthday. I turned 39, the final ‘stop’ before I turn 40, an age often considered a turning point in life. Remember, “Life begins at 40”.
Embracing change with open arms: Steph Gardner
How many of you would feel comfortable with being asked to shut your eyes, spun around a few times, and then submit to trusting your partner to guide you to a new destination? Or even asked to take a step forward without knowing what is ahead? Do you lean into the unknown?
Unfurling layers of transformation with Homeward Bound: Cindy Shellito
“Do you feel totally changed?” A friend asked me after my return home from our Homeward Bound journey to Antarctica. I’ve just participated in a year-long transformational leadership program. If I haven’t ‘transformed’, does that mean it’s all been a waste of time and money?
Another change, another way forward: Fabian Dattner

Transitions home: Hafdis Hanna Aegisdottir
During the Antarctica expedition, the #TeamHB3 participants sewed together a quilt. The outcome is bigger than the quilt piece itself. It taught us that we are truly #strongertogther and by collaborating and being brave to ask for assistance.
Witnessing changes in Antarctica’s ancient forests: Professor Sharon Robinson
Antarctica seems like a long way from anywhere but climate change is affecting the tiny plants and animals that make their home there. In the Peninsula region, that Homeward Bound 3 is visiting, the climate is becoming much warmer and wetter which means that plants can colonise new ice-free areas and grow faster.

12 metre waves across Drake’s Passage: Natalie Unterstell
Twelve meters tall waves washed the ship. Winds gusted up to 70 knots. Some of us heard false alarms during the night – which were just some sensors going crazy with the inclination of the boat. Others saw chairs flying from the bedrooms to the corridor. And we all exploded in laughter watching a video of the ship going to 32 degrees while we all rolled in our beds.
A picture tells a thousand words…about leadership: Steph Gardner

What lies beyond the mist: Cindy Shellito
Have you ever sat at one of those moments in your life when the clouds hang overhead and you’re not really sure which way is up? You long for a breeze to blow that mist away and give you a new view of that snow-capped mountain. Or, maybe you imagine that you’ll have a...
Sharing a cabin with the woman who changed the world: Fabian Dattner
She finishes washing her smalls. I watch her from my bed as she carefully places them on a towel. I’m an arm’s length away. She rolls the towel up and I reach out a hand. With no words exchanged, she hands me one end. In a timeless manoeuvre, we wring out the...
New Friends: Alicia Collins
Today we did an early morning landing at Hydrurga Rocks on the Gerlache Strait. As we disembarked our zodiacs, we were instructed to move single file in silence past the two Weddell seals sprawled out on either side of our path so as not to disturb their rest. It...
Reflections from Ushuaia: Fabian Dattner
As I write, three to four metre rough swells slide the ship over, then it rights itself. I think it’s akin to being in a washing machine, possibly on the ‘delicates’ cycle. It’s quietly making most of us nauseous or, with the aid of medication, terribly sleepy....
Reflections from Ushuaia: Mary-Ellen Feeney
It has felt like a week of firsts, but in many respects this is a common theme throughout the Homeward Bound Program. As a strategic leadership program for Women in STEMM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics and Medicine)
Reflections from Ushuaia: Fern Hames
Each day I write a #HomewardBound #haiku, trying to capture, in those brief, structured lines, something of the transformative journey we are on. Today is New Year’s Day
Reflections from Ushuaia: Lorna Slater
How does a cause become a movement? In the same way that a trickle becomes a flood or a few pebbles start an avalanche. Homeward Bound is movement in both senses. Over the last week, women have trickled in to Ushuaia, Argentina to join together. We started meeting in...
Reflections from Ushuaia: Anisha Humphreys
When I graduated from my environmental science degree I was the only woman in my cohort. But it was women who came to watch me climb the stage and cheer me on. My grandmother, my mother and my sister. And I would not have been there if it wasn’t for their love and...
