who are we?
OUR MISSION
OUR MISSION
The Becoming Better Together Program is a bespoke program designed to create a culture of belonging and respect through vital, authentic and brave discussions about diversity, equity & inclusion.
The program was created by Shantelle Thompson, Gemma Saunders and Lilian Kikuvi, also known as the Becoming Better Together Collective.
We believe that once we know ourselves, our contexts and each other better, we can do better, together in a culture-first decade!

" We had almost 80 staff attend the event with three women from within the business also participating as storytellers. Engagement during the event was fantastic, with many encouraging words throughout and moving commitments made by attendees towards the end. The Becoming Better Collective created something really special that exceeded our expectations and we were extremely grateful to learn from their incredibly rich experience."

"Gemma, Lilian and Shantelle facilitated our global company’s first ever Diversity Forum (#webelong) and consequently sparked the most interesting of discussions - particularly how we are individuals and as a company foster, create and maintain a true culture of belonging by addressing our own biases and acknowledging each other’s stories. The insights, learning, and generosity they provided in stimulating long-lasting and deep conversations amongst our people was fantastic. Thanks Gemma, Lilian and Shantelle for your energy, passion and engagement!"
