What is Mental Toughness?

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 mental responses that every person adopts in everything they do. It is closely related to qualities such as character, mindset, resilience and grit.
Mental Toughness is universal, applicable in many walks of life. It has a particularly appropriate application in dealing with adversity, setback and crisis and doing so positively.
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.
