I've been up early for my first session with @HomewardBound16, a #womeninSTEM leadership programme that will run the next year for me! It's so inspiring to be part of this amazing cohort for #teamHB4: homewardboundprojects.com.au/hb1-participan…
Programmes like @HomewardBound16 aim to address the underrepresentation of women in leadership positions internationally, in the context of our changing planet which really demands action!
One thing they mentioned in the training today was that #womeninSTEM are often quite hard on ourselves, maybe telling ourselves a story that we had to be that way to get where we are today. But this can be a block to becoming an effective leader.
That rang true for me, and I think because of the way we are socialised, women face different leadership challenges to men. Really looking forward to seeing how @HomewardBound16 helps all of us develop as socially engaged scientists!
