Our Story...
The Intentional Neighbourhood Consultancy was born from a simple yet powerful belief: safer workplaces create stronger, more prosperous communities. Founded by workplace culture expert Bella Ikpasaja, our consultancy emerged from Bella’s deep personal commitment to improving organisational wellbeing and community resilience. Inspired by her extensive experience across sectors - including property, finance, creative industries, and community investment - Bella recognised the vital connection between internal culture and external impact.
With professional memberships including IOSH, the London Chamber of Commerce & Industry, and the Chartered Management Institute, our practice is grounded in rigorous safety standards, insightful business leadership, and strong local economic understanding. Bella's global reach as a LinkedIn Learning instructor, teaching thousands of professionals worldwide, informs our uniquely systemic approach - one that combines governance, risk management, and psychological safety to create thriving, resilient workplaces.
Our discreet, robust approach means we sensitively navigate complex situations, towards safeguarding your organisation's integrity and values.
Why 'Intentional'? Because lasting success doesn't happen by chance. It comes from purposeful, strategic decisions that factor in people, process, and place. We help organisations embed safety, intentional leadership, and local impact into day-to-day decision-making and actions - transforming internal culture to drive external success.
Impact on the Sustainable Development Goals 2030
Here at TIN, we consider it our duty to continue impacting the UN's SDG. Specifically, our work aligns with Goal 8 (Decent Work & Economic Growth) and Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) - each deeply relevant to how businesses shape society.
From our West End neighbourhood, we remain committed to translating these universal ambitions into local, practical actions through people, partnership, and place.
What does that look like? Supporting employers and employees; enabling thriving Arts & Culture scenes; and fostering links between businesses and local stakeholders.
