FAQs 

1. You’re new, so what is your credibility to offer leadership consultancy?

Ede Enabler’s CEO and founder Tania Ihlenfeld, is a leader and author of BUILD SUCCESS with more than twenty-three years’ experience leading, observing and innovating within multi-disciplinary teams, including almost thirteen years with Grimshaw, London. Tania has led small-scale residential projects through to large-scale major infrastructure projects, working with some of the most talented experts in the industry. 

Tania considers herself a conduit between design teams, stakeholders and the client. This role has led her to define project leadership as a means to navigate complex project terrains and come successfully out the other side. She has been a designer, a chief motivator, inspirer, negotiator, facilitator, and everything in between. Her keen eye for what does and doesn’t work has been honed over many a sixty-hour plus week. This isn’t to boast – in fact, quite the opposite. She is convinced and is here to share with you - that there is a better way. An easier, more effective way for you to lead and enjoy your projects.

Her mission was born when she moved away from architectural practice and began to see a whole new perspective on what it means to deliver exceptional projects. Tania is keen to create meaningful change in the way the built environment is conceived, developed, and delivered. Her primary motivation is so that no one would have that same sinking feeling when asked to lead a project through enormous challenges and out the other side. 

2. Who is not a good fit for our services?

We are not a good fit for your organisation or project teams if you're not serious about making a positive contribution to the built environment in terms of a sustainable approach to creating and implementing a high-quality legacy. We are also not the right leadership consultants for you if you are not open to direct and honest feedback on where your leadership team and project success can be optimised.

We offer exclusive access to our CEO and founder - Tania Ihlenfeld, and her extensive leadership experience leading small to large-scale transformative projects within award-winning and world-renowned architectural practices. 

3. How do I know that I need leadership support or advice?

If either yourself or your team are struggling to lift their heads from the daily project grind, you are likely to need some leadership support to help you to enjoy the journey and elevate your leadership team to success.

We champion the four key areas of focus that result in more effective leadership and project success outlined in Build Success by Tania Ihlenfeld.
