What we can do for you

Being a successful senior leader takes a huge amount of energy which is why our leadership coaching methodology is substantially different from the mainstream.

Our approach starts with supporting senior leaders by understanding and focusing on the leader’s energy and emotions, rather than their external behaviours and results. Controlling your physiology and managing your emotions will unlock hidden capabilities and ultimately drive higher levels of performance.

Our interventions have an impact that is not just felt but measured, providing you with a clear and tangible return on your coaching investment.

Increase energy levels Improve decision making Transform relationships Unlock new levels of capability

It takes a serious amount of time and energy to sustain leadership performance. You may not be able to stop time, but you can assess and improve your energy levels. The Complete approach goes deeper than other leadership development programmes and gives you the tools to give you the energy that you had years ago – in many cases helping you feel around 10 years younger.

The quality of leadership decision making is directly linked to our physiology. When you’re in a chaotic state, even unconsciously, your ability to think clearly and consider all the potential eventualities is seriously compromised. Our leadership coaching and development programmes go deeper to fundamentally improve your physiology and your heart rate variabilty (HRV) which will directly enhance your decision making as a leader.

Relationships are fundamental to success. We only succeed when we work well with others. Senior leaders are often just expected to be able to inspire and motivate others. However, it’s a capabilty that can be developed. Complete’s leadership development programmes enable senior leaders to both understand their own motivations and get an insight into the motivations of others. That way leaders can work effectively with anyone – not just people who think like them.

Senior leaders may have acquired signifiant knowledge of their careers, but there is a way to unlock new levels of capability – vertical development. Horizontal development is associated with the acquisition of knowledge and skills. Vertical development is fundamentally about increasing our capacity or our ‘processing power’. That’s what sets the Complete approach apart from others. We can help you as senior leaders expand your capacity to enhance your performance.

“Before working with Complete, there was no aligned version of the strategy. People had versions of the strategy in their head, but it was the shift in the depth and quality of relationships from working with Complete that enabled us to align. It gave us a language so that we could describe our differences and achieve greater levels of respect within the team.

It’s made a massive difference to the effectiveness of the team and to the quality of our relationships. People can be resistant to giving that much time to this kind of programme, but this paid dividends in the quality of our results. It translates into business performance.”

Orlagh Hunt Senior Leader, YBS

“The outcome of the journey has been self-awareness, be mindful of impact and shadow I can cast, read the environment more clearly and awareness of the size of the journey I have ahead of me. Additional perspective. Read through different lenses. There has been an impact in NA SC, not working very well, he helped me think about that and work through the team re-design. Next week we have a session that will be an inflection point.

Alan adds so much value from his ability to understand the needs of the group. His ability to understand what is not said, but still present. Raises it in a constructive way, conducive to action.”

Ale EboliSenior Leader, Anonymous

“We now have the conversation in the room and can challenge constructively. We’ll ask each other, ‘What does this mean for the organisation?’ It’s not just about what this means for you. This takes the heat out of the conversation and allows for a more strategic discussion about what’s right for the organisation.

One of the things I’ve realised is that the executive team still has to have a bit of fun together, but to do that you need to feel trusted and safe. If you don’t trust each other, your guard never truly comes down. Working with Complete has allowed us to be less guarded in a safe environment and to have a bit of fun, but it always feels controlled.”

Stephen WhiteCEO, YBS

“Working with Complete has been transformative for senior leaders at TKAT, for many from the very first moments of their development work. Leaders describe ‘lightbulb’ moments when they realise for the first time just what they need to achieve more and have better working relationships.

We are hoping that the staff will have a better work life balance, will be more creative in their thinking and that ultimately TKAT will become the employer of choice and we’ll attract great people because of our culture.“

Liz HarrisonDeputy CEO, TKAT

“Seeing team members exhibit new leadership capacity has been incredibly rewarding for me personally, and beneficial to the organisation as well.

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.”

Sue Graham JohnstonHead of RBU UK/Ireland/Africa, Linde

“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.

I’m sceptical when I meet organisations like Complete, but I was impressed by Alan. There was passion, the way he described things it felt practical and doable. I get nervous of models and theories on their own, I like to see theory applied in practicality. But Complete’s experience resonated with the challenges we faced. I felt they understood.

The programme does bring in an element of neurology which puts the leader firmly in the space of being in control of their behaviour and ultimately their leadership style.”

Peter PritchardCEO, Pets At Home

“They showed us how, as a team, we could evolve to make us faster and more effective at alignment.” He explains. “They gave us the ability to see conflict as positive and constructive. We developed the ability to welcome and seek out conflict and disagreement, and then incorporate that into a stronger overall solution.

This was different to what I’d done before and that’s why I really liked it. Complete helped us as much individually as collectively.”

Alasdair LenmanChief Finance Officer, YBS

“Thank you very much for the energy, insight, facilitation, entertainment and instruction that you poured out to me and my team yesterday. Everyone loved it and we were buzzing about it all evening. You helped us move forward and develop as a team at an incredible pace.”

AnonymousCEO, Retail Consultancy

“I find myself when I coach my team or give feedback, using the examples that I heard from Alan. E.g. Bosses with low EQ, teams that struggle to come together and find a common vision. Very practical. One area which had to do with self-belief – writing an appreciation letter to self what great. The coaching is not cheap, I came in with doubts, but I have to say I really embrace it and believe. It’s an exceptional gift that the company has given to me.

Alan adds so much value – it’s probably his balance and that he lives by example. It would be difficult for him to credible if he wasn’t himself. Very transparent and open and willing to share personal things. Walk the talk and show his vulnerability.”

Alberto Di LeoSenior Leader, Exactive

“We have made considerable progress which can be seen from our financial results.

They helped us to move quickly from the day-to-day reactive work that was all consuming at the start of the pandemic to our longer strategic vision, making sure that we continued to make those longer term strategic investments.”
