Never Discourage: Felicity Aston MBE
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Felicity Aston MBE is a climate scientist, polar explorer, expedition leader and record-breaker. She was the first woman to ski across Antarctica alone. Most recently, she led the B.I.G. (Before It’s Gone) Arctic Research Expedition, gathering vital material for Arctic sea ice research.
In this episode, Felicity shares the importance of using what you’re good at to address the issues facing our world. For her, that means using her expertise in leading expeditions to tackle inequality for women, including bringing together women from across the Commonwealth to ski to the South Pole.
She also speaks to something deeper: the responsibility of those in senior positions to champion those coming through. Felicity reflects on how painful it can be to be dismissed as naive, and the difference it makes when experience and wisdom are used to lift others instead.
