THE CFO LEADERSHIP COUNCIL

“Adaku spoke to the CFO Leadership Council on “The Power of Inclusive Leadership”, which awakened in us that we must be the one to approach each interaction with the goal to understand and to help others understand. I know our members received her message in a deeper way than just hearing her – Adaku has a way to motivate you to be a better leader; a better person. – I know that she will continue to affect the world for good as long as she is given the platform to use her very, very important voice.”

IRISH REFUGEE COUNCIL

“Adaku facilitated a number of modules on our “Integration from Day One” Women’s employment programme at the Irish Refugee Council, coming onboard with us at the start of the Pandemic at a time of considerable uncertainty and rapid change. I can honestly say that this uncertainty posed no obstacle to Adaku who is an innovative leader in inspiring change. From my dealing with her, Adaku has always been entirely professional, good-humoured, responsive and clear. Adaku makes everything easy, constantly looking for ways to go above and beyond. She is incredibly passionate about the work she delivers, and her honesty and sincerity shines through.
I look forward to working with her again in the future.”

Adaku has been a very strong facilitator in all the programs that I have done, Thank you Adaku.
