ABOUT US
Why We Do It
It came from understanding how challenging and lonely it can be working in Diversity and Inclusion and seeing how other attempts at bringing people working in D&I together to collaborate and support each other haven’t worked.
Progress in organisations is often slow and people who work in this space are purpose driven. They want to make things happen and there are many barriers to making progress.
Our Mission
Our mission is to play an influential role in helping to create organisations where people can flourish and contribute.
We believe in developing and supporting the best D&I community so organisations, D&I and HR Leaders can confidently and capably lead the change required.
Our Founder
Lisa Mulligan is the founder and Director of The Culture Ministry, and The Culture Club .

Lisa brings 20 year’s experience in global organisations focusing on human resources, organisational change and development, and Diversity & Inclusion, with 10 of these years focusing on Asia. She has worked with leaders to devise Diversity & Inclusion strategy, goals and supporting actions, implemented inclusion initiatives and developed initial and longer-term responses to Black Lives Matter and race discrimination. She has credible experience in Diversity & Inclusion governance reporting, preparation of board papers and providing market research for boards and executive teams.
She has undergraduate qualifications in Applied Science and Business, and a Masters in Organisational Coaching from Sydney University.
Lisa is also the host and presenter of the popular podcast ‘A Dog Called Diversity’. A place to tell people’s stories of being a bit different in the world to build understanding and kindness.
