FAQ
How does an engagement start?
Every engagement starts with an exploratory conversation, with no obligation to proceed.
We listen to what you are experiencing, explore the challenges and context, and honestly assess whether and how we can help. Depending on your needs, the next step may be a diagnostic, stakeholder conversations, a governance or process review, or leadership and team development support.
Who do you work with?
We work primarily with leaders, executive teams, boards, and founders in growing, evolving, and mid-sized organisations.
Our approach is particularly valuable when organisations are scaling, navigating change, strengthening governance, improving collaboration, or seeking better decision-making. We are also expanding our work with investors and venture capital firms seeking deeper insight into the organisations they are considering for investment.
Do you work with boards?
Yes.
Board effectiveness reviews, governance assessments, and decision-making reviews are core parts of our work. We also support the relationship between boards, leadership teams, and the wider organisation.
Our founder has sat on both sides of the board table: as a board chair and member, and as an internal auditor assessing board effectiveness and corporate governance. This provides both executive experience and practical understanding of the realities and pressures boards face.
How is this different from coaching or consulting?
Traditional coaching often focuses on individuals, while consulting typically focuses on structures, processes, or systems.
ERNL works across three interconnected levels: the individual, the team, and the organisation. We combine governance, audit, process improvement, leadership development, and team coaching to help clients understand how human and organisational dynamics influence decisions and outcomes.
Rather than providing answers from the outside, we partner with you to develop deeper understanding, reveal hidden dynamics, and connect the dots across your organisation. Any actions and decisions remain owned by your organisation.
Who will work with us?
Each engagement has a dedicated ERNL lead who remains accountable throughout the work.
Where specialist expertise is required, we collaborate with trusted associate partners who work in line with ERNL’s methodology, values, confidentiality requirements, and professional standards.
How long does an engagement take?
The duration depends on the scope and objectives.
- Board effectiveness reviews can take from several days to plus 2 weeks, depending on board size and complexity.
- Governance and process reviews typically range from 3 weeks to 5 weeks or more, depending on organisational complexity and scope.
- Leadership, executive, and team coaching programmes are typically delivered over 6 to 9 months.
Engagements can be delivered in person, online, or through a blended approach. Team coaching is delivered in a hybrid format, with at least one in-person session wherever possible to maximise impact.
Not sure where to start?
You do not need to know whether the issue sits with leadership, team dynamics, governance, processes, or organisational structure.
Start by telling us what you are seeing and experiencing. Together, we’ll identify where the greatest leverage lies and determine the most meaningful place to begin.
