MY STORY
Let me begin with one of my favorite sayings; “People do business with People", in fact I bank on this fact quite a lot. But it’s true, we spend a lot of time working and relating with others, we ‘need’ to connect with people intuitively to know them. We ‘need’ to be more sensitive to their personalities to like them. To share in their values and feel safer with them.
To do that we need to understand more about each other, which is why it’s important for you to know my story and how I got to where I find myself today. I’ve been on quite a journey with so many learnings, so many insights, and of course a number of hickups.
I’m Adeyinka Igbinoba Nee Abdul, happily married and blessed with two lovely children. I was born into the family of Otunba & Mrs Taiwo Abdul. Growing up as the 4th of 5 girls raised by a single mother.

As a business Mentor and a digital Strategist, helping businesses create income and influences, I have more experience than you can shake off the skin. From personal experiences, I can tell you that the business world can be utterly confusing, but I cut through the noise and speak your language, keeping things simple and real.
Life’s too short for drawn-out processes and tech jargon that makes your head explode.
As a strategist, I go creative and intuitively disposed and alert as I take the lead with love and integrity always. My work is based on four core principles namely;
1. Mindset
2. Strategy

4. Fun.
The first three are essential for success. The fourth, well that just makes everything so much better, life really doesn’t need to be so damn serious!. So I work and I play.
