She is a Kenyan-Australian who is passionate 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.

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.
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 is an inspiration for emerging leaders and generated insightful discussion amongst everyone present about how we can deal with anything that life throws at us.
Melton Council
Lilian shared her powerful story of migrating from Kenya to Australia and becoming an ‘empowered minority’. Lilian encouraged us to identify times we had been excluded or in the minority and gave us the tools to own and embrace our differences. Thank you Lilian
