What is the need and why does it exist?

Employee engagement drives business results. A highly engaged team leads to:

Increased performance & productivity
Increased profitability
Decreased absenteeism
Improved employee satisfaction
Lower staff turnover, lower recruitment and retraining costs
Improved talent attraction
Increased operational stability
Increased innovation and creativity
Improved employee sentiment towards company and co-workers

Productivity growth stagnation across developed economies over the past 20 years

Technology has always been a core driver of productivity growth, but has waned in recent years.
However we believe there is a major growth opportunity via cognitive and psychological advancements.
It’s a largely untapped opportunity in the mainstream.
Our company's mission is to be at the forefront of bringing the benefits of this opportunity into forward-thinking organisations.

Looking after employee mental wellbeing is more important than ever

The pressure on mental wellbeing has dramatically increased in the digital age.
Proactive steps need to be taken to diffuse this. By developing a healthy, powerful mindset, this can be achieved in a way that supports the individual, whilst creating long term benefits for the business.
The “always on” culture and the volume of information individuals are subject to has exploded. This impacts people’s nervous systems, causing significant challenges in both wellbeing and productivity. It’s crucial that staff feel supported at a deeper level.
UK employees lose 35.6 days p.a. of productive time and £42bn p.a. due to health related absence and presenteeism.
1 in every 4 employees will have a mental health challenge at work, with 88% of job seekers actively considering the mental health policies of potential employers.
By being a proactive and thoughtful leader here, companies can achieve stronger long-term business results in a way that cultivates greater health, mental wellbeing, loyalty, connection and productivity.

Talent attraction and retention needs to be a priority

Increased competition: poor attraction and retention leads to rival companies gaining that talent.
Company image: being able to attract and retain quality talent is very impactful to a company’s brand and reputation.
Domino effect: employees talk. If they’re happy and feel valued, then the word of mouth impact can be significant.
People want and need to feel cared for. Genuinely caring about employees and investing time, energy and financial resources in them matters a great deal.
Personalised coaching that supports and meets individuals’ needs at deeper levels creates powerful connections with leadership that can last a lifetime and strong loyalty to the company.
Due to employees receiving more of what is important to them (including genuinely being listened to and cared for), the business gets better performance and commitment in return.

Improved physical wellbeing

British employees lose 35.6 days per year of productive time due to health related absence and presenteeism.
Physical wellbeing feeds mental wellbeing, and mental wellbeing feeds physical wellbeing.
This is why it is so important (and valuable) to make these two aspects a core part of the focus.
Sleep requirements, sleep benefits and sleep science provide us with a great foundation to build on.
Sleep is not just about going from tired to not tired. There are many core functions and processes that are performed during the various sleep cycles, and not getting enough of each leads to incomplete or unperformed tasks.
It's also key to know how to most effectively recharge and effectively relax (this is not just passive, there needs to be significant active components too), and develop a personalised strategy to execute on
We also implement exercise and nutrition schedules to ensure fitness and health from this standpoint too.

Improved mental wellbeing

Adverse mental wellbeing is negatively impactful to the individual and the company.
It’s great that mental wellbeing is now becoming a bigger consideration (both in employers and employees). It’s more important than ever (the level of importance will continue to grow) that employees feel supported at a deeper and more thoughtful level, as well as integrating these teachings in yourownlife too..
Ill mental health costs UK employers up to £42bn per year in absenteeism, presenteeism and lost revenue (before legal costs).
The pressure on mental wellbeing has dramatically increased in the digital age. Proactive steps need to be taken to diffuse this. By developing a healthy, powerful mindset, this can be achieved in a way that supports the individual, whilst creating long term benefits for the business.

We built our proprietary 6Ps Coaching & Consultancy Framework™ and Enhanced Team Integration & Performance Framework™ based upon extensive experience

‍
We apply our 'Marginal Accumulated Gains™️' (MAG's) approach within both our micro (individual) and macro (team) approaches.
‍
By doing so, we amass a high volume of smaller gains (rather than targeting just large gains), which provides significant upside potential to results.
‍

There are decades of knowledge, strategies and experience from a combination of multiple disciplines all pulled together into our frameworks, which make it a powerful and unique solution:
‍
✅ Business, economics, finance, investment analysis and portfolio management (22 years)

✅ Coaching, consultancy and personal development (8 years)

✅ Psychology (5 years)

‍
There is no one size fits all solution. That’s why we have built The 6Ps Coaching & Consultancy Framework™️ that is flexibly applied to each individual.
‍
It is this approach that enables us to acknowledge the many nuances of each human being and best achieve our goal of racking up MAG’s (Marginal Accumulated Gains) to maximise BOTH short term and long term performance.

Where desired, we can also apply additional methodologies at the macro (team) level, to help bring the department together in greater alignment. This is our Enhanced Team Integration & Performance™ service.

‍
This part of the process aids in developing:
1. Cohesiveness
2. Genuine care and consideration
3. Trust
4. Connection
5. Communication

All of which foster a whole other dimension of performance and productivity, as well as quality or work life, feeding into greater wellbeing, and ultimately, business results.

Dan Gayle's Background - CEO & Founder, Peak Vantage

My name is Dan Gayle and before I started Peak Vantage Coaching & Consultancy™, I had a career in finance where I had roles including Risk Manager, Financial Analyst, and Investment Analyst and Portfolio Manager. My academic background in Financial Economics, Business & Maths provided the foundations for, and access to, these roles.
‍
As a Financial Analyst for Citigroup I co-managed the finances for a $300m department which gave me hands on experience with P&L’s, balance sheets, budgeting, forecasting and analysis. Liaising with and presenting to C-Suite execs, MDs and Directors was incredibly valuable for my growth.
‍
As an Investment Analyst and Portfolio Manager with HSBC, I co-managed assets under management of $500m. This role was where I put my knowledge to work in analysing and valuing companies and constructing portfolios of assets for clients, and plus experiencing firsthand what the various growth levers are for company valuations. The assets we invested in included equities, bonds, commodities and property. Liaising with an even wider array of senior stakeholders was again super valuable - this included directors, sell-side analysts, investor relations, clients and the overall investment team.
‍
The skills developed in these two roles were so valuable and I am incredibly grateful to both companies and the hiring managers for the opportunities.In additional to the IMC, I also passed levels 1 and 2 of the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) qualification which really deepened my knowledge on a lot of complex financial topics.

In the latter part of my finance career working for big banks, I knew that I wanted to change paths to focus on something that helped others in a different way. I realised that combining my love of business, finance, personal development, performance & productivity, psychology, and maximising potential was possible, all under one umbrella. That's how Peak Vantage Coaching & Consultancy™ was born.

 We have a strong track record of achieving results with our clients, which include 6,7, & 8-figure businesses, via three proprietary frameworks developed by Peak Vantage™. These frameworks pull together decades of knowledge and experience across multiple sectors:
‍
* Business, economics, finance, investment analysis and portfolio management
* Coaching
* Consultancy
* Psychology
* Performance & productivity
* Personal development
* Mental & physical wellbeing

This provides a powerful and unique approach to helping companies and their people become the best they can be which in turn, drives business results and valuation. Importantly, the significant wellbeing component ensures it is achieved in a healthy way that’s sustainable long term.

A deeper dive into why the need for our services exists

The high impact of staff leaving

The cost and time of hiring new people is high, particularly in the UK and Europe where there are long notice periods.

With recruitment fees for professionals of up to 35% of salaries and gardening leave up to 6 months (and even higher in some cases), costs to companies can be significant.

Getting people up to speed (retraining and integration) and into the culture takes time and lowers performance during that period.

Operational stability is impacted when staff leave an organisation.

Productivity growth revival in an under-utilised and forward thinking way

Productivity growth rates have stagnated for nearly 20 years across developed countries.

Technology has always been a core driver of productivity growth, but has waned in recent years.

However we believe there is a major growth opportunity via cognitive and psychological advancements. It’s a largely untapped opportunity in the mainstream.

A happier workforce means a more productive workforce. A more productive workforce means higher profitability. More profitability means more reward for all stakeholders.

There are multiple dimensions to productivity and the old way of mainly using money and cracking the whip are outdated and increasingly less effective.

Employee engagement and satisfaction drive business results. Most managers / team leaders are not equipped with the depth of skillset required around maximising human potential.

This is a separate area of expertise and therefore investing in experts to deliver results in this key area, makes sense both logically and financially.

Aligning employees with the vision and values of the business, and creating a deeper sense of team integration and cohesion, is incredibly valuable. This requires conscious focus.

The pressure on mental wellbeing has dramatically increased in the digital age. Proactive steps need to be taken to diffuse this ticking time bomb. By developing a healthy, powerful mindset, this can be achieved in a way that supports the individual, whilst creating long term benefits for the business.

Through genuine care and thoughtfulness at the micro (individual) level, it facilitates the development of enhanced cultural foundations, communication, connection & motivation.

Mental wellbeing is a crucial area

Humans have seen the pressure rise dramatically on the expectation to be available and switched on for ever greater periods of time.

The volume of information that is constantly bombarding people’s nervous systems has exploded, causing significant challenges for individuals, both from a wellbeing standpoint and also a productivity standpoint.

In our view, it’s great that mental wellbeing is now becoming a bigger consideration (both in employers and employees alike).

It’s more important than ever (and that level of importance will continue to grow) that staff feel supported at a much deeper and more thoughtful level.

By being a proactive and thoughtful leader in this regard, an organisation can achieve stronger long term business results in a way that cultivates greater health, mental wellbeing, loyalty, connection and productivity.

Please contact us if you would like to ask any questions

Employee engagement & satisfaction are key drivers of results

Performance, productivity and wellbeing are significantly driven by awareness of what matters - employee engagement and happiness.
This field of study is a beast all of it’s own and therefore investing in bringing onboard expert resources to achieve a gold standard here is:

1. A good thing to do for each person in the team.

2. A great business decision that will drive higher ROI over the medium to long term.

People want and need to feel cared for. Managers often feel like they don’t have the time to dedicate to these deeper aspects personally.

Genuinely caring about employees and investing time, energy and financial resources in them matters a great deal.

By investing in this type of personal, impactful training and development, it sends a powerful message to employees, that they are cared for and their best interests are being considered.

Employees will be grateful for this level of engagement and the company will benefit.

Even those staff who move on, will speak highly of the organisation.

The brand reputation created from this will be significant and over time, it will make the company a hot place to work for which will attract future talent.

By gaining deep clarity and understanding at the micro (individual level) and aligning this with the team visions and targets with a macro application, we create an integrated, cohesive and high performing unit.

Due to employees receiving more of what is important to them (including genuinely being listened to and cared for), the business gets better performance and greater loyalty in return.

The Millennial Factor

By the end of 2020, Millennials (those born between about 1980 and 2000) are forecast to comprise half of the workforce, and by 2025, 75 percent of the global workforce.

They think and behave differently to previous generations.

Adapting to these differences is a crucial element of leadership and driving results in an increasingly competitive business landscape.

Two of their key wants and needs are:
1. Career guidance - they want mentoring and coaching.
2. Leadership - they need the “right” manager, to get better results from them.

Please contact us if you would like to ask any questions

What is the opportunity - part 1?

"Coaches" and "consultants" have long been part of the ELITE sporting world. In more recent times, mindset and performance experts have started to become part of that world, and also in the business world too. This is because it has become very clear that a person's mindset, their psychology, plays an absolutely pivotal role in success.

Peak performance professionals are skilled at enabling people to maximise their talent and their potential.

"Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent" - Calvin Coolidge. Persistence, determination, hard work, and our ability to maximise, are all factors of achieving results.

We believe that over the next 10-20 years, the world will see a huge rise in people employing performance coaches and consultants into their teams across ALL professions, including business.

Marginal accumulated gains are a powerful weapon in becoming the best we can be.This philosophy is why Team GB's cycling team soared from pretty average on the global stage, to a dominant powerhouse.

Ronnie O Sullivan came back from a near career capitulation, to become one of the most successful snooker players ever, due to working with a mindset expert.

What is the opportunity - part 2?

"Land grabs" have happened throughout history. Whether it was purchasing property or land in areas before they soar in value, or the "land grab" for people's attention across social media platforms, or something else - early movers gain a considerable percentage of the overall upside.

With our type of solutions, at some point the masses will learn about the immense power of it, and again like social media, it's by far much better to get involved early in order to maximise the opportunity.

By being a relative early adopter of these types of services, it can enable people to get the absolute most from themselves, importantly over the long run (this is why the "wellbeing" part plays an important role), and develop marginal accumulated gains in their careers and their lives, which will help give them a strong advantage.

Over the next 10-20 years time when nearly everybody has a performance coach/consultant, the size of the opportunity, much like with the "land grab" on social media, will diminish. At that point, people will need a coach just to stay in touch with their competition or face being left behind.

Does this 100% guarantee success? Of course not, nothing does, as there are many variables that determine outcomes. But what we can promise you is that our clients learn how access more of their potential by accessing their peak performance levels much more frequently over the long run. This of course increases their probability of heightened results.
