Value proposition

Aligning teams, supporting innovation, building sustainable performance.

At Monkey Puzzle Training & Consultancy, we believe the most effective leaders aren't those who have all the answers, but those brave enough to ask the right questions. Under the leadership of CEO Becky Westwood, we continue our mission to develop exceptional people by bridging the gap between high performance and human vulnerability.

Founded in 2007 by organisational psychologists John McLachlan and Karen Meager, Monkey Puzzle combines deep psychological expertise with real-world business acumen. Today, our team of specialists helps organisations navigate change by fostering cultures where authenticity isn't just a buzzword—it’s a strategic advantage.
