About Etimes2
Strengthening organisations through leadership, culture, and engagement for over 25 years.At Etimes2, we partner with organisations to develop leaders, build engaged workplaces, and create cultures where people thrive and performance follows.
Who We Are
Etimes2 is an organisational development consultancy based in Northern Ireland, working with clients across the UK and Ireland. We specialise in helping organisations strengthen culture, improve engagement, and develop leaders who can inspire performance and resilience.
With over 25 years’ experience, we combine evidence-based practice with a practical, straightforward approach. Our role is to partner with organisations to understand their unique challenges and design solutions that deliver measurable impact.
At Etimes2, we believe that when leaders are supported and employees feel engaged, organisations become stronger, more adaptable, and better equipped for the future.
Our Approach
At Etimes2, we believe effective organisational and leadership development is built on trust, partnership, and integrity. Our approach is shaped by five core principles that guide every project we deliver:
-
Integrity – we are honest, upfront, and transparent in how we work with our clients.
-
Bespoke design – no two organisations are the same. Every leadership training programme, engagement survey, or coaching project is tailored to your needs.
-
Not on the clock – we take the time to listen. Initial consultancy conversations are free, ensuring we fully understand your organisation before recommending solutions.
-
Experience & adaptability – with over 25 years’ experience, we adapt and flex to the needs of client groups, even mid-session or during a project.
-
Care – we genuinely care about our clients and their people. Our motivation is to deliver positive outcomes for leaders, employees, and the wider organisation.
This approach means our work is never “off the shelf.” Instead, we partner with organisations to design practical, evidence-based solutions that build stronger leaders, healthier cultures, and more engaged workplaces.
