Culture Labs that release the human potential you're already paying for.
Not just another workshop
Instead of another workshop where someone talks at you, a Lab is where your people talk with each other.
Our job isn’t to tell you what’s wrong (although we can). It’s to help your teams hold the conversations that matter, then turn them into actions that lead to an outstanding culture and high performing teams. Our Labs are safe spaces where people see the real issues, co-create solutions, and build a culture that sustains itself. Come and spend a day with us in rural Bedfordshire or we can come to you!
WHAT WE'RE ABOUT
Potential is invisible until it is released. We provide the spark, your people add the colour.
Research from Google, Harvard, and the World Economic Forum shows that the two foundations of high-performing workplaces are critical thinking and psychological safety.
One without the other fails: critical thinking without safety silences voices, while safety without sharp thinking breeds comfort without progress.
At Positive Potential®, we help teams master both - because together, they unlock culture that performs, adapts, and thrives.
Through our Culture Labs and bespoke programmes, we give leaders and teams the tools to make smarter decisions, build safer cultures, and unlock their real potential
What Positive Potential is
Critical Thinking + Safety

Through our Spiral Scale of Potential. We have our own assessment tool that is based on the 6 areas of potential you have in your business that we can help unlock.
How we measure change:
Through conversations, because we know that the best answers start with better questions. Our bespoke, psychology-led Culture Labs are built around the questions your team is already asking. We combine critical thinking, psychological safety and practical tools to create solutions your people own.

What else we offer:

- A hot climate feels like conflict, blame, and anxiety.
- A cold climate feels like apathy, silos, and disengagement.
- A warm climate feels safe, creative, and collaborative - juuust right.
The problem is, most companies bring in a workshop to “fix culture” - but workshops don’t change the climate. They teach content. They diagnose problems. Then the temperature drifts back to hot or cold as soon as the trainer leaves.
So how can we do things better? Take a look at how our Culture Labs create lasting change...

Workshops deliver “aha” moments that fade by Monday. Labs embed those insights into measurable action, tracked through the Spiral Scale®, so culture shifts are visible and lasting.
we move you from just insight to a tangible impact
Workshops often end with people nodding along. Labs move teams into genuine ownership - they see the issues for themselves and co-create solutions they’re motivated to sustain.
We give everyone ownership of transformations
Workshops give information, but they rarely shift behaviour. Labs change the climate so people actually speak up, share concerns, and bring ideas to the table without fear.
we move your team from listening to speaking with candour
Most organisations measure performance through output: deadlines hit, revenue targets met, campaigns launched. But culture, (the thing that either fuels or sabotages those results), often goes unmeasured. That’s where the Spiral Scale® comes in.
When we apply the Spiral Scale®, teams get a clear, trackable picture of where they are strong and where they’re struggling. It transforms culture from something vague and intangible into something measurable, actionable, and open to improvement.
The Spiral Scale®: The 6 Positive Potentials that Make or Break a Team’s Ability to Perform at its Best.
How much confidence do team members have in each other’s intentions, competence, and follow-through?
trust
Is there a shared understanding of goals, roles, and priorities, or are people second-guessing and working at cross-purposes?
clarity
Do people feel psychologically safe enough to speak up, share ideas, and admit mistakes without fear of judgement or punishment?
safety
Can the team recover quickly from setbacks, pressure, and external shocks without losing cohesion or momentum?
resilience
Are silos broken down, and does the team know how to leverage diverse strengths toward shared outcomes?
collaboration
Is there space for original thought, innovation, and experimentation, or is the culture defaulting to “play it safe”?
creativity
