What Pukka Herbs say about LEAD

Tim on "What is LEAD?"

Tim Westwell Managing Director, Pukka Herbs

This is Tim discussing 'What is LEAD' in less than 60 seconds.
Tim on "Becoming a better leader"

Tim Westwell Managing Director, Pukka Herbs

I came on LEAD to develop my leadership style more. LEAD really helped me in different circumstances at different times in different environments and to be proactive in certain situations.
Tim on "Growing the business"

Tim Westwell Managing Director, Pukka Herbs

LEAD has really helped to develop and transform our business. We have doubled the size of the company and now sell tea to India and China. We can scale 3 or 4 times more and I am really pleased how LEAD has helped us on that journey.
Tim on "New approaches to leadership"

Tim Westwell Managing Director, Pukka Herbs

One of the great techniques I learned from LEAD was looking to the future and to a desired perfect state to set scenes and set goals. It has really helped me.
Tim on "Gaining formal training"

Tim Westwell Managing Director, Pukka Herbs

What I like about LEAD is that it is well thought out and structured and in parallel there are so many influences from Captains of Industry in Masterclasses to your peers, individual coaching and of course you have to play your part. All of which develops you and your business.
Tim on "Building and improving my Senior Management Team"

Tim Westwell Managing Director, Pukka Herbs

As a result of LEAD, I have changed my Board and the calibre of those on the Board and it is now a more proactive space.
Tim on "Developing a vision"

Tim Westwell Managing Director, Pukka Herbs

I have always had a desired future state in my mind, Now I have vocalised it and people are creating their own when planning, having a meeting, making a phone call or designing a product.
Tim on "Making the best use of time"

Tim Westwell Managing Director, Pukka Herbs

You need to take time out to consider what you are doing and how you are doing it and take responsibility to develop yourself, your people and your organisation. LEAD gives you that time and space.
Tim on "Making the best use of time"

Tim Westwell Managing Director, Pukka Herbs

LEAD gave me the much needed time to get out of my business. It has provided a great space to learn, reflect and develop. I have made new connections that have an immediate impact on my business.
Tim on "Addressing new issues"

Tim Westwell Managing Director, Pukka Herbs

In my business, I often think of Frank Dick's final comment in his Masterclass, "If not you, who? If not now, when?"
Tim on "Defining roles & responsibilities"

Tim Westwell Managing Director, Pukka Herbs

I have brought new skills to the Board. We have more factual discussions, there is more creative space and people are less reactive which has led to a more effective Board.
Tim Westwell Managing Director, Pukka Herbs

I found coaching to be invaluable and it provided an opportunity to devote time to really drill down into a problem and unlock the solutions. The coach simply ensures that this information is unlocked from within you by asking the right questions and ensuring that sufficient focus is given to the problem to allow an effective solution to come to light.

I am more vocal, express my opinions more and challenge more than before both in Board meetings and in senior management meetings.
