Rachael Robertson

Rachael Robertson spoke at Ready24 – stay tuned for our Ready25 Line Up, dropping in the coming months.

Rachael Robertson led the Australian expedition to Davis Station, Antarctica – the second female to lead a team at the Station and the youngest ever leader.

She managed a team of 18 people through the long, dark, Antarctic winter and through trial and error built a resilient and highly successful team based on the foundation that ‘respect trumps harmony’.

Since returning Rachael has completed her MBA, written 2 best-selling books, Leading on the Edge and Respect Trumps Harmony, and has presented at over 2000 events around the world.

When she took to the stage at Ready24 Rachael revealed how she built a high performing team from a group of strangers, keeping them inspired and productive through Antarctica’s long, dark winter.
