What affects your people affects your business. How do we help you and your teams manage this? The Centrepoint Method.

Step 1: Identify.

Before we can help, we need to see what’s actually happening. Pulse is a short, confidential survey that shows us where the pressure is really building, team by team, not just what an annual engagement report tells you.

PeopleA quick view of your whole team: who’s under pressure, who’s thriving.
LeadersA radar of your leaders: where they’re strong, where they’re stretched.
OrganisationOne score for the whole organisation’s health, tracked over time.
DepartmentsEvery department compared side by side, so problems can’t hide.
Impact LedgerA ledger of every action taken, and whether it actually worked.

Once we can see it clearly, we know exactly where to act.

Step 2: Action.

Once we know what’s driving it, we put the right response in the right place. This is our offering, and how we help you.

What we do depends on what the data shows.

Step 3: Embed.

After six to twelve months, Pulse becomes something more: a living tracker of your culture, performance and wellbeing, not a one-off survey. Even if you only work with us for a few months, we build those habits and systems with you, so they keep working long after we leave.

Hidden people cost across twelve months

90-day sprint $200K $300K $400K $500K 036912 months Hidden people cost (USD) $480K $410K $265K

This is where most programmes stop.

Without embedding, it drifts back.

We stay on; the habits hold.

Illustrative projection, not a forecast. Modelled on an 84 person team, $60,000 average salary. Anchored to Gallup’s 2019 finding that replacing an employee costs 0.5 to 2 times salary, and Centrepoint’s internal pilot showing 60% less stress related absence.

Change is whatremains afterwards.

The founders

Daniel JamesCo-Founder

Army Commando Officer · Defence Health & Wellbeing · Coach

Daniel built and lost a multi-million-pound business in his early twenties, then rebuilt through personal training and coaching.

He spent nearly a decade as an Army Commando Officer, leading soldiers through operations, deployments and demanding environments, then served as a Defence Health & Wellbeing Adviser and Level 4 nutritionist across a 3,000-person organisation.

Daniel’s path into Centrepoint was anything but linear.

In his early twenties, he built a multi-million-pound business, then lost it and found himself homeless. He rebuilt through personal training and life coaching.

He spent nearly a decade as an Army Commando Officer, commanding a squadron of 300 spread across 17 countries. He later became a Defence Health & Wellbeing Adviser and qualified Level 4 nutritionist, working across a 3,000-person organisation to support health, resilience and deployability.

That combination of lived experience, coaching and organisational leadership now shapes his work at Centrepoint: understanding the human behind the performance, not just the metrics.

Outside Centrepoint

Daniel competes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, coaches adults’ and kids’ classes, and runs a men’s circle in central Vietnam.

The whole human

The human does not reset at 9am.

Work affects life.
Life affects work.

If your wellbeing strategy only works at work, it does not work.

What are your numbers not telling you?

You told us you lead a team of 84. Left unseen, that could cost you $310K–$576K a year.

What is that doing to you as a leader?
