Diversity and Inclusion
I believe that True Inclusion has the power to transform business for good.
True inclusion is one of my core beliefs and most passionate values. As a member of the BAME community in a city that is 96% white, I know what it feels like to feel excluded.
I also know, from personal experience and research, that diversity can bring positive transformational power to any business if implemented correctly and with heart.
I have seen entire businesses transform when I have introduced the principles of inclusion that I live, breathe, live, and teach.
True inclusion goes beyond race and includes factors such as neurodiversity, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion, and culture.

During the time I have known Steven his passion and drive to achieve the best outcomes for people around him is obvious. He achieves this through his love for collaboration, sharing experiences,
He has been a thoughtful and dependable person who is not afraid to be open, and vulnerable when sharing his own journey to success. These are rare qualities but have enabled him to be an inspiration and a strategic and business partner for me as an entrepreneurial leader within the NHS.

As Anthony Thompson, I have had the distinct pleasure of witnessing Steven Adjei in action, and, let me tell you, it's a masterclass in leadership and business acumen.
The guy's got a finesse that comes from his unique history of work - and not just any work, mind you, but a diverse tapestry of experiences that have honed him into the titan of industry he is today.
Steven, to put it simply, is a problem solver. This isn't your run-of-the-mill, one-size-fits-all approach to problem-solving either.
No, sir. Steven gets down to the roots, peels back the layers and tackles the core issues head-on. High-level leaders find themselves not just guided but truly enlightened under his astute consultancy.
But here's the thing that really sets him apart: his mentorship. Steven isn't content with just solving problems - he's committed to helping others learn how to solve them too. He's not just building better businesses; he's building better leaders. His ability to guide, teach, and inspire is nothing short of remarkable.
If you're looking for someone to help navigate the labyrinthine world of business, I couldn't recommend anyone better.

As a strategic partner with Conscious Capital, Steven’s knowledge in strategy, international business and team dynamics is extraordinary. We have worked together in analysing, improving and incubating dozens of businesses in the USA, Europe and Africa, and Steven has been instrumental in working with us to raise millions of dollars of investment for our portfolio companies. As an SME consultant with a great work ethos and high integrity, as well as a brilliant business author, I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Working with Steven in transforming our business in the Southwest of England has been an absolute pleasure. Steven is very driven, self-motivated and has come up with pertinent and brilliant ideas which have transformed our business into a very profitable on in less that 2 years. Steven’s ability to inspire a team, leave a positive ethos and incorporate diversity into our team has been remarkable. His work with us has resulted in a happy diverse team, top profitability, and efficiency, and has transformed our business from almost imminent collapse to the second best specialist healthcare retailer in the city. I highly recommend him.
