It is an honour to join the Melanoma Patients Australia (MPA) Board. Growing up in North Qld, I remember the national “slip, slop, slap” campaign and the strong message it sent about the importance of protecting our skin.

This. Regardless of your position, remember that you don’t know what is happening - or has happened before - in a person’s life.

Be kind, lead with empathy and be sure to check-in. This is not only important with direct reports, but also peers and yes, even the boss.

Equality isn’t about telling someone ‘be more confident, find the right life partner, get better at networking’. It’s about systemic, structural change and cultural shift so everyone has a sense of belonging.

I’m going to share a story. A scientific leader’s story. A story of challenge and triumph.

This leader was clever, loved bushwalking and was a woman.
