“The content and delivery was topical, relevant and professional. The chance to interact with others from outside my normal circles was invaluable.”

Join the revolution
Become part of an exclusive community at the forefront of driving positive change. Develop your knowledge, meet like-minded leaders and turn science into strategy with the support of our experts.
What is Positive Pioneers?
Positive Pioneers is a unique, free initiative set up to help drive positive change in the new world of work. Each year, we take a select group of thought leaders through a series of workshops exploring the links between leadership, psychology and organisational performance. This is informed and facilitated by our team of experienced psychologists, including Dr Brian Marien, Dr Sinéad Devine-French, Dr Catherine Marshall and Dr Ellie Smith.
At the end of the programme, participants join the wider Positive Pioneers alumni community, with access to cutting-edge content, exclusive events and networking opportunities.
