Welcome to Planet Positive Change
At Planet Positive Change, we help people and organisations unlock their potential through evidence-based psychology, practical tools and unlimited support. Founded by twins Viv Dutton, Positive Psychologist, and Gill Thackray, Author and Business Psychologist, we combine more than twenty years of global experience to deliver transformational learning. We’ve partnered with the United Nations, Spotify, BBC, Financial Times, London School of Economics, Lancaster University, Northwestern University, Southbank University and the NHS, helping thousands of individuals and teams achieve high performance and lasting wellbeing.
Our mission is simple: to help people flourish and make the world a better place.
Who we are
We are Viv and Gill, twin sisters, psychologists and lecturers who believe learning should be practical, engaging and rooted in integrity. We bring deep expertise in positive psychology, resilience, leadership development and team performance. With experience across universities, Fortune 100 companies and NGOs, we understand the pressures people face — and how to build sustainable success. Every workshop we run blends research-based strategies with humour, authenticity and warmth.
Why Planet Positive Change
We believe positive change is contagious. Our workshops and coaching help people think differently, communicate clearly and lead with confidence. Each course is built on solid psychological research and designed to create measurable impact. We don’t offer generic leadership training. We offer personalised, high-impact learning experiences that build growth mindset, emotional intelligence, and resilient, high-performing teams. And we stay with you every step of the way, offering unlimited support so learning turns into lasting change.
