Consulting for organisations
Edengard offers organisational development (OD) consulting: practical support with structure, culture, policies, people and performance management, and change.
Consulting starts with your situation: what needs attention, who is involved and what a useful result would look like.
Tamara's own models
The 5E model for changing organisational culture
In 2019, Tamara developed her own 5E model for changing organisational culture. She uses it in her consulting work with organisations.
The EMPOWER coaching model
For coaching, Tamara developed the EMPOWER model in 2016: six steps around your purpose – Explore, Map, Prioritise, Objectify, Work & action points and Re-evaluate.

Coaching, mentoring and supervision: definitions in line with EMCC Global
- Coaching
- A structured conversation focused on unlocking potential and achieving self-directed goals. The coach facilitates the client's performance and growth without needing to be a specialist in the client's technical domain.
- Mentoring
- A learning relationship involving the sharing of skills, knowledge and expertise between a mentor and mentee through developmental conversations, experience sharing and role modelling. The relationship may cover a wide variety of contexts and is an inclusive two-way partnership for mutual learning that values differences. EMCC Global
- Supervision
- A safe space for reflective dialogue with a practising supervisor, supporting the supervisee's practice, development and well-being. It supports quality, skill development and the practitioner's psychological resources, and encourages reflection on their own influence and assumptions. EMCC Global
Mentoring and supervision follow the definitions published by EMCC Global.
