That conviction sits at the heart of everything we do. Planet Positive Change was founded on the belief that evidence-based behavioural and organisational science isn’t a luxury or a lifestyle accessory. It’s a rigorous discipline with the power to transform how individuals think, how teams perform, and how organisations thrive.

For over twenty years, we have worked with some of the world’s most respected organisations — among them the United Nations, the BBC, Spotify, and the Financial Times — designing and delivering programmes that create measurable, lasting change. Our work has helped university communities build genuine resilience, introduced growth mindset thinking to global workforces, developed high-performing leadership teams, and demonstrably reduced stress-related absence.

We are practitioners, not motivational speakers. We draw on peer-reviewed research, translate it into practical application, and work closely with each organisation to understand what they actually need. The result is training that lands, sticks, and makes a difference that can be measured.

What drives us is curiosity — about people, about potential, about what becomes possible when individuals and organisations are genuinely supported to flourish. We bring intellectual depth to everything we do, but never at the expense of warmth or practicality.

We are Viv Dutton and Gill Thackray — twins, and partners in this work for over two decades. Both of us hold an MSc, and between us we bring more than forty years of combined experience working with individuals, teams and organisations across the public, private and third sectors. We would love to talk about what we might do for yours.
