I più bei ricordi di viaggio di Chiara Montanari, esploratrice italiana a capo della missione belga a 200 km dalla Costa della Principessa Ragnihild. In diretta per Dove
I like to define myself with one tag only: LIFE EXPLORER., since everyone is one!!
I am also an engineer and I have 15 years expertise in polar mission. So far I lead 5 scientific expeditions to Antarctica. As expedition leader I represented Italy, France and Belgium in the international missions to the most extreme stations of our Planet. Since several years I focused my activities and research on the impact of extreme changes on us (as individuals, our team work and our ecosystems).
Besides Polar Missions I had been working in UK in Broadcast Industry, & ICT, as well as Energy Efficiency and Education sectors, and I had had been conducting research both in Organisational Theories at Politecnico di Milano and at the International Research Centre on Epistemology and Anthropology of Complexity (Bergamo).
I currently live in Milano where I help (a coach and consultant) individuals and enterprises to develop the projects related to the so called “Antarctica mindset” together with the philosopher of Science Gianluca Bocchi. On the basis of our reciprocal expertise, we developed an approach to prosper in change as well as to be at ease under pressure and uncertainties (namely, a way to develop resilience and a more effective strategic attitude).
In 2014, I was awarded by the city of Milan with “Ambrogino d’oro” (civic medal) for her engagement in boosting Technological Transfer, Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
In 2015 I published the book “CRONACHE DAI GHIACCI, 90 GIORNI IN ANTARCTICA” (soon available in English version too): “I think that the extreme ecosystem of Antarctica is a metaphor for the current business world. It’s characterised by continuous changes, high complexity and tremendous uncertainty. Under this pressure you can’t afford neither to worry nor to be wrong, you must quickly learn how to be effective.”
I am proud to be a TEDx speaker and to collaborate with several no-profit association for empowering young people in innovation and their early careers.
