BECOMING BETTER TOGETHER COLLECTIVE (bbtc)
Revolutionising Workplace Culture
BBTC is founded by Lilian Musyawa Kikuvi, Shantelle Thompson, and Gemma Saunders, and is deeply rooted in First Nations, Kenyan, and Queer cultural influences. We deliver immersive programs that sit at the intersection of Leadership, Workplace Culture, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
In a time of rapid change and increasing complexity, today’s workplaces are facing rising expectations around leadership, culture, and DEI. At BBTC, we help organisations develop the skills and systems that matter most right now, including cultural intelligence, inclusive leadership, and collective resilience, while also preparing for success in an ecosystem increasingly shaped by AI and technology. Our programs ensure organisations not only keep up but lead with clarity, courage, and purpose. We design experiences that:
1 - Build Capability Where It Matters Most
According to the World Economic Forum, the most critical emerging skills are:
Cultural intelligence and empathy: foundational for embedding DEI
Critical thinking and complex problem-solving: essential for strategic leadership
Collaboration and emotional resilience: vital for adaptive, high-trust workplace cultures
BBTC builds these capabilities by meeting leaders and their teams at the intersection of leadership, workplace culture, and DEI. We co-design immersive learning experiences, not off the shelf training, to help our clients build inclusive pipelines, embed equity into strategy and policy, shift workplace culture, and strengthen adaptability in complex environments.
2 - Prepare for the Future of Work
The workplace is evolving. It is faster, more complex, and increasingly shaped by emerging technologies. Yet what remains constant is the need for leaders and their teams to think critically, center DEI, and foster cultures of respect and belonging. BBTC equips leaders and teams with the mindset, capability, and clarity to:
Lead with empathy, adaptability, and values-driven purpose
Create cultures grounded in trust, feedback, and shared accountability
Embed DEI into everyday decisions, behaviours, and workplace systems
Challenge assumptions and lead with integrity in rapidly changing environments
Our programs cultivate resilience, encourage divergent thinking, and prepare people to lead with courage and clarity in a fast-changing world.
3 - Enhance the Human-Tech Partnership
We do not teach technology. We support the people who lead it, and the teams who navigate its impact every day. Our programs strengthen the human side of innovation by helping people:
Reflect on the ethical, cultural, and social implications of emerging technologies
Strengthen collaboration and adaptability across diverse teams and functions
Expand the circle of impact ensuring systems, strategies, and innovations benefit those too often left out
In times of rapid change, we anchor organisations in what endures: human connection, inclusive leadership, and courageous culture, so they can lead with clarity, equity, and resilience into what’s next
WHY WORK WITH US
1 - Co-creation
We meet you where you’re at. Everything we do is in the context of your needs. We believe in co-creation. Therefore, we work with you to understand your purpose and goals and adapt our proven program to achieve actionable and tangible results.
2 - Belonging
We help people belong rather than fit in. When uniqueness trumps sameness, we create an equitable workplace experience where we all become beneficiaries of the cultural shift. We help you connect who you are as individuals with how you operate as a collective with others at work.
3 - Impact
Become part of the change. We’re living in a culture-first decade. As individuals, we are socially, morally and ethically responsible to become part of the change. We prioritise impact over tokenism and are focused on measuring collective change. This change goes beyond us.
4 - Holistic approach - 3H Model (Head, Heart, Hands)
BBTC supports organisations in navigating today’s leadership, workplace culture and DEI realities by delivering outcome-based, immersive learning experiences grounded in the 3H Model to drive sustainable change:
Head – Sharing evidence-based data, research, and the rationale behind why change is needed.
Heart – Engaging people through empathy, compassion, and values-driven connection to deepen commitment.
Hands – Providing practical tools and actionable strategies to implement and sustain meaningful change.
BBTC’s programs draw on First Nations, Queer, and Kenyan cultural practices and engage the head, heart, and hands to create human-centred experiences that are practical, transformative, and built for lasting change.
