Varied formats engage different styles of learners to ensure vertical development is achieved.

Ultimately, the aim of the content is to change behaviour. To be brilliant every day and achieve great things, leaders must start by learning to control their physiology, then their emotions, then their thinking. Without such control performance is fragile and can collapse without much warning.

“From the outset, Dave has been fantastic. He met with me before the group sessions to tell me what everyone had been saying and to explain the results of my Complete Values Profile.

My leadership journey has been phenomenal. I was caught in a legacy, male characteristic leadership style, which wasn’t really me and wasn’t making me happy in my job. Not only that, but I also wasn’t getting any results in terms of moving the organisation on.”

Karen Roberts CEO, TKAT

“Once I had been made aware of my truth of my physiology, I could work with my coach to address things. I had an awesome coach, who completely understood where I was coming from and helped me to drastically increase my energy levels and improve my performance.

I clearly remember that first milestone; with help from my coach I found a way to stop leaking energy. Once I had stopped bleeding so much energy, I could use it for myself. That was a huge breakthrough and I remember marking that as a KPI for myself. With more energy, I became increasingly aware of the leaks and could then dedicate the energy that I needed to focus on my performance.“

Doug SchmidtCEO, Dentsu Aegis Network

“You have helped me make a personal breakthrough. Simple words, but very powerful for me. Haven’t done the homework yet, but will read these over the next week!
I really did find the session helpful on a number of levels, so thank you again. Hope the work with you continues!”

“We are now networked rather than functionally siloed. We are coherent rather than disjointed. The leadership team has made that transition very successfully and now we’re starting to see the benefits permeate through the whole organisation.

I feel the progress we’ve made every day. The dynamics of the team are great, and I feel very proud of what we have achieved. We went from being a very disconnected team, with no real professional relationships, to a team who are not reliant on the leaders and step up to take ownership. To be talked about as a benchmark for others, I take a lot of pride in that.

The change in our top team is cascading throughout the business and to our millions of customers as well.”

Matt SimisterCEO, Tesco Europe

“What our business has been through in the last few years has been transformative. The business was underperforming and now we’re winning. That success has been the team coming together faster than we would have done without Complete.

Even before the first day of the programme, I could see it was going to work by the way they engaged with us. They spent time listening to us and understanding our challenges and what we wanted to achieve. This made sure that we started the programme in the right place.

Complete have exceptionally high-calibre people. Often the people who sell you a programme aren’t the people you engage with, but not here. Here we’re dealing with people we know, and they know us, and we respect them. I find it hard to say anything bad about them!”

Peter PritchardCEO, Pets At Home

“Everyone on the team has been able to move into the second person – to consider other perspectives. When I first came in two years ago, there were a lot of strong personalities who wanted to be heard. What we know now is that‘s not necessarily the best way to move the organisation forward. Individuals on the team have put this perspective-taking into practice and have been able to navigate successfully some very difficult change. Seeing team members exhibit new leadership capacity has been incredibly rewarding for me personally, and beneficial to the organisation as well.”
