Mental toughness & the MTQ - the key to self awareness - Doug Strycharczyk - 6 Feb 2020 @ 18.30 cet

About the webinar

Mental Toughness is an aspect of our personality that determines how we deal with stress and pressure, and how we can see change as an opportunity to grow and develop. It describes the mind-set that every person adopts in everything they do. It is closely related to qualities such as character, resilience, and grit.

Mental Toughness is universal, applicable in many walks of life, and in everything we do, including transitions, managing change, leadership, career management, attainment, and retention. At an organisational level it describes a key element of culture.

Global research shows that Mental Toughness is a major factor in:

Performance – explains up to 25% of the variation in attainment
Positive Behaviour – more engaged, positive and “can do” attitude
Wellbeing – more contentment and better stress management
Aspirations – more positive about opportunities and open to learning.

In short, in an age of unprecedented complexity, turbulence and change, our mental toughness matters.

Drawing upon the very latest global research and his own extensive international experience working within the corporate and education sectors, Doug Strycharczyk will provide an overview into to this important area.

The webinar will look at this important area and will examine briefly:

What is Mental Toughness? – The 8 Factors
How can we assess it reliably?
How can we develop it if needed?
A brief overview of applications, research and case studies

In addition to this we will also take a glimpse into the ground-breaking research exploring the relationship between the Big 5, the Dark Triad and Mental Toughness. This provocative and somewhat disruptive research has caught the attention of many.

Each participant will be provided with the opportunity to complete the MTQ psychometric measure in full confidence and free of charge.

The webinar will be recorded and available to all who book (subject to any IT hiccups) within five working days.
