Having the energy and the right emotional state at the right time is fundamental to achieving the results you want in your life. This was our motivation behind building our wellbeing app, the Complete App. Why does this matter? Well, the vitality and quality of our energy drops by approximately 3% per annum from our early twenties. Some people who go through accelerated aging will decline faster. However, our coaching interventions can help buck the trend. What we've seen is if you teach people to manage their system differently, you can reverse the age-related decline and give people back the energy levels they had 10 years ago, which can be a game-changer in business. We teach people how to be more effective in their energy management and then through measuring their HRV be able to quantify that objectively. Rather than saying, "Oh, I feel more energetic," or saying to someone, "You look more energetic," forget all that subjectivity. We can prove it to you. We can quote that for you and show you exactly how much energy you've regained or not. In our app, we give you access to the skills you need to practice daily to help you increase the quantity of your energy and the quality of your emotional state, which enables you to cope better with pressure and think more clearly. The practices on the app have been developed after 30 years of coaching by Dr Alan Watkins and the team of Senior Practitioners at Complete in this field and the practices can help you effectively reduce stress and the risk of mental breakdown and increase performance levels. To support your emotional wellbeing and development, we have built out a structured wellbeing program that can help you start your journey to improve your personal performance. There are 12 levels of emotional and social intelligence (ESQ) that you need to develop to be better. The capabilities within each of those levels can only be effectively cultivated when the previous level has been developed. Our framework provides you with a structured program so you can vertically develop by mastering each level until you reach Level 12. The Complete App uses 3rd party Heart Rate Monitors to connect to the bio-feedback software in the app. The bio-feedback works through the Heart Trainer feature which shows your heart rate and the coherence level you can achieve through slow rhythmic breathing. The Complete App does not provide any medical data. If you observe any data provided by the app that concerns you then please consult your doctor. The Complete App works with a range of heart rate monitors when doing Coherence Training. We use Kyto, Polar and Movesense in our own practice. The Mood Tracker feature is available in the free version of the app and it is a great way to start developing your emotional literacy. We know that that practices in this App will help you to understand your Mental health in ways that can lead to better Resilience, Empathy, improved relationships and greater Coherence. Building Emotional intelligence and sustaining Well-being can be a step change in your performance. Complete App is designed to take you on a journey of structured development building the skills and techniques that make us the best version of ourselves so that you can be brilliant everyday.
