I’ve just returned from a four day leadership program I ran for an extraordinary group of science leaders, from three different oceans. Reef Ecologic is hosting the Coral Reef Fellowship, first of its kind in far north Queensland. The three-week program covers various aspects of complex leadership (this is where I helped out), marine reef science, and reef management. I had a few glorious days on Orpheus Island in sunshine, facilitating workshops and activities barefoot, with an expanse of ocean as backdrop.
