Mental Toughness is “A personality trait which determines, in some part, how individuals respond when exposed to stressors, pressure and challenge…irrespective of the prevailing situation…” (Clough & Strycharczyk, 2011)
The good news is that Mental Toughness can be developed.
Professor Peter Clough, Head of Research at the University of Huddersfield and a pioneer on research into Mental Toughness further describes a mentally tough person as “someone who is comfortable in their own skin, can take whatever comes along in their stride and mostly enjoy the challenge”.
Mental Toughness describes the mind-set that every person adopts in everything they do and it is critically important and valuable for everyone at two levels.
Firstly, it explains why people and organizations behave the way they do. Personality can be defined as an individual’s characteristic pattern of thinking, feeling, and acting and one’s personality can explain individual differences and how individuals act in specific situations. So there is an obvious link between mindset and behavior.
One can describe mindset as both the pre-cursor to behavior and the explanation for much behavior.
Secondly, research and case studies from around the world show that Mental Toughness is a major factor in most of the important outcomes for individuals and organizations:
There are many techniques for developing a ”can do” mindset which include self-talk and stopping or reframing negative thoughts.
This involves developing your ability to first imagine something in your head to help you deal with a real event.
Breathing exercises and relaxation techniques will enable you to deal with those panic moments when things seem out of control, producing a physiological reaction.
Tools and techniques, which support the development of your sense of purpose and how to set about achieving it.
Used extensively by sports coaches to teach how to focus better and for longer. Developing mindfulness which is learning how to notice what is around you.
Create a Transformational Shift in Thinking with Mental Toughness and develop your people!
Intentional organizational change is often about shifting culture or mindsets (e.g. from a competitive to a collaborative mindset). Disruptive change at the organizational level is often about a forced reaction to adverse performance or changing market conditions, or perhaps a change of ownership or a new strategy.
We put a laser focus on the behavioral side of transformation in order to reach your goals!

We are using MTQ Assessments to measure Mental Toughness as an AQR International partner. The MTQ Plus Assessment gives you a picture about how you are handling the following 4 main dimensions and 4 sub dimensions:
Do you want to better manage your emotions?
Do you want to understand what you need in order to reach the balance and be happy?
If yes this is for you!
Intentional individual change might be about developing some personal capacity or skill (e.g. I want to be better at working with conflict, or I want to develop my strategic thinking capacity). Disruptive individual change is often caused by an unwelcomed event (e.g. losing my job, the breakdown of a relationship, a bereavement or illness), or by an unfolding inner crisis of meaning or duality.
MTQ helps you to find the answers, develop yourself and change the perspectives!
