Evidence-based DEI that works in practice, not just on paper

  • "I could see the potential of collaborating with Adaku, and I liked her person-focused approach. We discussed key areas of focus for the screen sector and the difficulties for people working on large-scale productions under various pressures, and Adaku tailored the content to the sector requirements. The courses became a way for people to discuss their experiences and focus on where they could foster change."

The Framework

Diagnose. Develop. Embed.

I help you see what is actually happening, build practical capability to respond, and create systems that hold when pressure increases.

Diagnose

See the risks before they escalate

Most culture problems do not start as crises. They start as patterns: staff staying quiet in meetings, the same voices always heard, turnover concentrated in specific teams. By the time you see the risk, trust is already broken. I surface what is happening before it escalates into complaints, formal disputes, or reputational damage.

Culture Audits
  • Confidential staff consultations
  • Leadership interviews to understand current culture and challenges
  • Policy and system review (what is written vs. what is actually happening)
  • Pattern analysis across hiring, promotion, complaints, and turnover
  • Written report with prioritised recommendations (not vague suggestions)
  • 90-day action plan with clear owners, timelines, and next steps
Focus Groups & Report Writing
  • Structured focus groups to surface staff experience and concerns
  • Thematic analysis of what is working and what is not
  • Written report with findings, conclusions, and recommendations
  • Presentation of findings to leadership team
Production Inclusion Audits
  • Pre-production culture risk assessment
  • On-set culture reviews (confidential crew consultations)
  • Post-production debrief and recommendations
  • Written report with findings and next steps
  • Tailored for the screen and creative sector

Who this is for

  • Organisations preparing for regulatory review or accreditation
  • Leadership teams seeing patterns (turnover, complaints, low engagement) but unclear on root causes
  • Organisations responding to a serious incident and needing independent review
  • Production companies building inclusive practice (Screen Ireland Six-Point Plan compliance)

Develop

Build capability to respond

Awareness training does not change behaviour. People need practical tools they can use in the moment. What to say when someone makes a microaggression, how to respond when a team member raises a concern, how to intervene as a bystander. I equip your teams with usable language and real-world scenarios so they can respond with confidence when things happen.

DEI Training & Workshops
  • Anti-racism and recognising bias
  • Microaggressions: recognise, respond, repair
  • Bystander intervention and allyship in action
  • Inclusive leadership (behaviour change, not just awareness)
  • Psychological safety (what it is, what it is not, how to build it)
  • Cross-cultural management (Irish and Nigerian workplace contexts)
  • Delivered for: screen & creative teams, academic staff, public sector, corporate groups
Manager Toolkits
  • Scripts for difficult conversations (responding to microaggressions, addressing exclusion, handling complaints)
  • Checklists for inclusive hiring, promotion, and team management
  • Decision-making frameworks for live challenges
Leadership Development
  • Inclusive leadership development for senior teams
  • Group or 1-to-1 sessions
  • Focus on behaviour change, not just awareness
  • Real scenarios, practical responses
Who this is for
  • Organisations where managers do not know how to respond when issues arise
  • Teams that need practical language, not just concepts
  • Leadership teams navigating live culture challenges
  • Organisations embedding DEI into day-to-day operations, not just one-off events

Make change stick

Policies do not change behaviour. Systems do. I help you build accountability that does not rely on everyone being “nice” or “well-intentioned”. Clear standards, visible consequences, and follow-through that shows people their concerns are taken seriously.

Policy Development
  • Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) policy development or review
  • Complaint and grievance procedures
  • Code of conduct and behaviour standards
  • Safer workplaces policies (bullying, harassment, discrimination)
  • Implementation plans (who does what, by when, with what support)
Ongoing Leadership Advisory
  • Monthly leadership clinics (60 to 90 minutes)
  • Bring live challenges and get support in real time
  • Guidance on responding to incidents, navigating difficult decisions, embedding inclusion
  • Available on retainer (3-month, 6-month, 12-month options)
Accountability Systems
  • Clear owners for DEI commitments and timelines
  • Monitoring systems (data review, pattern analysis, check-ins)
  • Ensuring consequences apply consistently across the hierarchy
  • Ongoing review of how systems hold under pressure
Producer Advisory
  • Monthly advisory for producers on on-set culture challenges
  • One 60-minute strategy session per month plus email access for between-session questions
  • Real-time support for microaggressions, exclusion, and complaints
  • Guidance on inclusive casting, crew composition, and safer creative processes
  • 3-month minimum commitment
Who this is for
  • Organisations that have policies but struggle with implementation
  • Leadership teams needing ongoing support, not just one-off training
  • Producers building inclusive production practice
  • Organisations where accountability is unclear or inconsistent

Charity and nonprofit pricing

I offer a 25% reduction on all fees for registered charities and nonprofits operating with an annual turnover under €2 million. This reflects my commitment to making this work accessible to the organisations that often have the smallest budgets but the most complex inclusion challenges.

For charities over €2 million turnover, please get in touch to discuss. I also accept a limited number of pro bono engagements per year for organisations whose mission directly aligns with my research interests.

Not ready for advisory?  Start with a Premium Toolkit. Structured, ready-to-use tools from €95.

Initial Conversation

We discuss your situation, what is happening, and what would help most. I will tell you honestly if I think I can help or if you need something else.

02

Proposal

If it is a good fit, I will send a brief proposal outlining what I will do, how long it will take, and what it will cost.

03

Delivery

I work with you to diagnose, develop capability, and embed systems. You get practical tools, clear recommendations, and ongoing support.
