Philosophy for life, culture, nature and community.

Vanessa Lemm is an academic and researcher with an international profile.

An active researcher and philosopher, Vanessa explores the relationship between the human being and its natural and social environments. Her research prompts us to consider ourselves in relation to nature, and the responsibilities we each have for the environment and communities we live in.

For the last 15 years, Vanessa has led organisations through transformation, working with high-performing teams who share her commitment to making a difference with energy, creativity and integrity.

Bringing together her academic expertise and leadership experience, Vanessa is interested in how large organisations can create positive change and address the economic, social and political problems our societies face today.

  • Are climate change and environmental catastrophes from species extinction to pandemics the price we pay for our increasing disconnection from our natural environment?
