“Our company is a male dominated organisation - operating in a traditionally male industry - heavy haulage. We are committed to making improvements to our culture to become an Employer of choice to a diverse range of potential candidates, with an initial focus on gender. Lisa Mulligan and the Culture Ministry were recommended to us and we could not be more satisfied with the work that has been done. Lisa is a subject matter expert work collaborates with her clients to take specific industry diversity reports and pragmatically apply those finding with pertinent observations to her client base. We engaged the Culture Ministry to undertake a Diversity survey of our workforce in late 2024. We would make the following comments: Lisa put the interests of her client first - she actively listened to what we required and adjusted (but not compromised) to meet our organisational needs The delivery of the data, through a digital platform was very informative, easy to ready and updated consistently Her observations and recommendations are also pertinent and practical We will continue to engage Lisa and the Culture Ministry and would recommend them to any other organisation seeking to undertake similar work.”

“We really valued having an independent perspective to validate what we were doing well and highlight where our opportunities are. The appreciative enquiry approach that Amanda and Lisa took complemented what we already knew, while opening up new conversations across our female leaders, and revealing insights we hadn’t previously considered. The recommendations from this case-study have kicked off robust discussions within our business on where to next, and what will have the biggest impact for our people.”

"One word comes to mind when I think about Lisa, and that’s INSPIRING! Lisa is full of creative, yet practical ideas to leverage on diversity and knows how to engage her audience. This is how I met her. Spot on in one of her workshops. And why we collaborated with her during our Global D&I Month on Inclusive Leadership. Besides, Lisa is really fun and easy to work with and I cannot wait for our next project together!"

“Lisa Mulligan is a strategic diversity and inclusion leader who genuinely believes in what she does and the benefits of inclusion. Her authentic and approachable style allowed her to bring others on the journey, to first understand why diversity and inclusion is so important but also to help them understand the steps they can take as individuals to be more inclusive. Working with Lisa for close to two years in the diversity and inclusion space, I have witnessed her ability to interact with all levels of the business on large scale change pieces. She is highly creative and will bring a unique view and perspective to any diversity and inclusion business challenge.”

“Lisa has been a great partner to our regional I&D steerco, all passionate volunteers. Being volunteers, they all have a ‘day job’, so don’t have a lot of time to dedicate to upskill themselves on how to make a real difference in their market. Lisa has carefully curated the most relevant content for each of our I&D strategic priorities throughout the year, which helps our I&D steerco navigate quickly to the most relevant pieces of content for each topic and ensures we focus on what matters most.”

"Working with Lisa to drive inclusive thinking and action at Worley was fantastic; Lisa had been embedded in Asia for a number of years at the time and so brought deep regional knowledge to her approach. She is particularly gifted at influencing tricky leaders and broadening their thinking around what would work in their business. I won’t hesitate to engage Lisa again."

"Over the last 18 months, our organization has partnered with Lisa to support our employee networks through personalized coaching, quarterly market insights and APAC relevant resources. I have also worked with Lisa to support various strategic initiatives we are running. What’s been particularly helpful for us and something that Lisa offers is her background working in a corporate global DEI role. She is able to think about business relevance, impact and realistic ways of change. She understands where our stakeholders might be and is always thinking about ways, she can support us in conversations and sustainable programming thinking about behaviors, processes, and systems."

"I’ve worked with Lisa in both a professional and personal capacity. We first collaborated during the dark days of May 2020 to create, design and execute a digital women’s conference ‘Face Forward’. The purpose - to support women as anticipated emerging from Covid 19, with positive content crafted to help them with career progression, personal ambition, financial, mental and physical health ( all of the issues which really affected women during Covid 19). She’s a ball of energy, a wise owl and one of the most collaborative people I’ve ever worked with, along with an amazing knack of pulling together a crack squad of experts to tackle challenges and voice wisdom. She’s full of bright ideas but also clear on what delivers and fits with purpose and objectives. I’d relish the chance to work with her in professional or personal capacities again."

One of the biggest problems I didn’t anticipate in running The Culture Ministry, a Diversity & Inclusion consulting business, is getting paid.
You would think this is a straightforward task.
I do the agreed work. I give the company an invoice. They pay invoice by the date specified on the invoice. Done.
Not done 😩
