This workshop will prepare delegates to train others in the use of mental toughness and the MTQ48 measure in a variety of applications

Accompanied by trainer notes and interactive discussions, it will provide the trainer with the knowledge, skills and tools to train others in mental toughness development interventions by providing a practical understanding of:

  • The importance of mental toughness: how to assess it and apply it in the workplace
  • The nature of challenge and the sources of stress and pressure – and the consequences for performance and wellbeing
  • Your individual strengths and development needs in dealing with stressors, pressure and challenges
  • Tools and techniques designed to help people to deal effectively with stressors, pressures and challenges – and the opportunity to practise them, helping people to perform to the best of their abilities irrespective of circumstances
  • Creating and sustaining effective plans to perform to the best of your ability and manage stress.

The workshop is very much focused on individuals and is highly participative – delegates are involved in small group and plenary sessions. They are given significant time and opportunity to practise tools and techniques which can then be applied to their own training.

The trainer provides theory and ideas as well as expert facilitation to enable delegates to guide future delegates in the best way possible.

All materials and exercises are provided, including a detailed and comprehensive mental toughness workbook. Use is made of inventories and measures to aid preparation and analysis – including psychometric measure MTQ48.
