The human mind is full of quirks and glitches. We want to empower people to manage these challenges so they can adapt, perform and thrive.
In his work as a medical doctor, Dr Brian Marien could see that some people were more likely than others to struggle in the face of adversity and change. Yes, there were unavoidable risk factors – genetics, certain traits – but time and time again, he saw the power of protective factors: things that people could proactively do to help themselves stay healthy.
Meanwhile, Brian’s son Will was climbing the corporate ladder. But talking with his dad, he realised how important these protective factors were for all of us – and what a huge impact they could have on our resilience and performance at work. Together, they founded Positive – to help organisations support their leaders and teams in an effective, data-driven and sustainable way.
The world is changing fast and organisations need to be able to change with it. The science is clear, and it’s Positive’s mission to help. Give your people the psychological skills they need to thrive – to be able to manage change, cope with challenges and seize opportunities. To feel and perform at their best, whatever the future brings.
We believe in enjoying the journey and doing it as a team. We’re stronger together, which is why we champion generosity and kindness – to ourselves and to others.
We have big ambitions, and big ambitions require bold ideas. We set a high bar and we’re not afraid to be decisive to break new ground.
Change is the only constant in life. We pride ourselves on being flexible, seeking feedback, embracing life-long learning and staying open to new experiences.
Ideas are just the start – we want to make them a reality. We believe in having a plan, communicating and taking ownership to get us where we need to be.
