Get in touchAlan’s purpose is as clear as it is ambitious. When you know that Alan trained and worked as a physician and a neuroscientist for many years you can understand the source of his passion. However, Alan left medical practice 25 years ago to try and reduce human suffering on a large scale than he was able to do though individual patient interactions.
He decided to work with large multi-national organisations employing thousands or hundreds of thousands of people. He recognised that while corporations can be a force for good in the world when leadership goes wrong they can also be a source of great suffering. People’s livelihoods are impacted as well as their mental and emotional wellbeing. When leaders make poor decisions people suffer.
Alan believes that every single person can become a better, more complete and effective human being. And leaders who are better human beings make more compassionate, inclusive and wiser decisions that can improve the lives of thousands of individual employees. This can affect an organisation’s supply chains and if we include all the families of those employees and supply chains we’re talking about reducing the suffering in millions of people’s lives.
Every day Alan and the Complete team are helping leaders in corporations all over the world as well as working with educators in schools, elite athletes and their coaches and politicians from right across the political spectrum.
Alan is a coach and confidant to many global leaders. He integrates a deep understanding of human development with his passion for human consciousness, emotional wellbeing, neurophysiology and applies it to a wide variety of organisational contexts with a range of clients.
Alan is recognised as a global thought leader on human performance, complexity and wellbeing. His five TEDx talks have been seen by over seven million people and he is an inspirational keynote speaker.

This cultural virus’s primary symptom is deceit, and the underlying disease is the wanton decay of the truth.
