# The Positive Pen
The Positive Pen is a leadership development specialist based in Harrogate that designs, delivers and assesses bespoke training programmes for organisations seeking to develop their leaders effectively. Led by an MA-qualified training professional, the business combines contemporary research with real-world examples to create engaging, practical learning experiences.
The business serves organisations of all sizes that need customised leadership training—whether they're building entirely new programmes, modernising existing delivery to include webinars and online learning, pursuing ILM accreditation, or requiring additional training capacity without the overhead of permanent staff. Common leadership challenges addressed include delegation, motivation, performance management, conflict resolution, change management and decision-making.
What distinguishes The Positive Pen is its commitment to tailored solutions. Rather than delivering generic off-the-shelf courses, every programme is designed specifically to meet each organisation's unique requirements and culture. The delivery philosophy emphasises active learning and workplace transferability over passive information-sharing, incorporating reflection and interactive elements throughout. The business also offers co-facilitation with existing training teams, enabling organisations to handle larger groups and deliver more sophisticated content.
Additionally, The Positive Pen provides examination marking and assessment services, drawing on extensive experience with professional qualifications. By operating as an associate partner, the business offers flexibility to meet fluctuating training demands without long-term employment commitments—a practical advantage for growing or variable training needs.
