Lilian Kikuvi
Lilian Kikuvi is a Diversity and Inclusion Evangelist who recently joined Future Crunch.
Lilian uses an African tribal framework to super charge the gift of diversity and inclusion in people and businesses.
She is a Kenyan-Australian who is obsessed with helping individuals and organisations harness the extraordinary power of diversity and inclusion. She achieves this through her inspiring keynote presentations, empowering workshops and consultation services.
This obsession comes from her lived cross-cultural experience spanning over two decades in Australia. Lilian moved from Kenya to pursue a University education. On arrival in Australia, she had to learn how to navigate a new world as a racial minority, after spending her whole life being part of the majority group in Kenya.
Lilian holds a Bachelor of Science, Psychology; Post Graduate Diploma, Advanced Psychology; Post Graduate Diploma, Counselling; Certificate IV, Training & Assessment; and Certificate in Professional Speaking .
She has spent thirteen years working in the Public, Private and Not for Profit sectors. Lilian has worked for organisations like Medibank Private, WorkSafe Victoria and Mission Australia. Her clients have included the Australian Defence Force, Department of Veterans Affairs, NSW Police, NSW Corrective Services and NSW Health Department.
Living as a culturally diverse woman in Australia, Lilian has discovered incredible barriers and opportunities in diversity and inclusion that have a significant impact on people and businesses.
Lilian's conviction to make a positive contribution in the 21st century motivates her to help people and businesses go beyond buzzwords and cultivate the fruits of diversity and inclusion. Lilian understands best practice having worked with Medibank Private's Gender Equality group. This ASX listed company has been awarded employer of choice by Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) because of its gender inclusion practices.
A member of Equal Employment Opportunity Network (EEON), Lilian uses her cross-cultural experience, commercial knowledge, research and training to help individuals and businesses maximise on the benefits of diversity and inclusion. Her keynote presentations, workshops and consulting services are designed to deliver evidence based benefits like improvement in health and wellbeing, productivity, profitability and performance.
Lilian is a highly trained and experienced Speaker and Facilitator. She has been sought after by businesses like Future Crunch, Western Bulldogs Australian Football League (AFL) club, Medibank Private, Melton Council, Culturally Diverse Women (CDW) and Parkville Juvenile Corrections Centre.
Lilian believes that systematic and sustainable change can only happen when people collaborate. Harambee is a word in her native language that represents this important collaborative process. That is why Lilian works with Future Crunch who are a global movement of scientists, artists, technologists and entrepreneurs. Future Crunch are on a mission to foster intelligent and optimistic thinking about the future, which will empower people to contribute to this century that works for everyone.
